Also you might jump over to Drifta's Facebook page and send them a PM. I got a near immediate real time response at ~8pm Pacific one evening by sending them a Q via F-PM. They do have a US distributor and do send over shipments a couple times a year from what I was told. Thom

I'm in the research mode for finding a solution out the backside of a terradrop (see oregontrailer.net if curious) Image from their site... we are not sure if we will go this way (adding a TD behind the van that is), but think I could be a fun addition behind the van on forestry trails/camps...

multiple thumbs up on the Truck Lite LEDs... installing them on my wife's DD was better than dinner and roses : ) The difference from the stock GMC/Chevy lights is, pun.... night and day. Side of roadway is now well lit and the distance on low beams is noticeably further out. High beams...

On our 2010 chevy awd 1500 we are running the aforementioned 265/70/r17 tires. With slider open we have about ~2 inches or so clearance outward. BUT this size is all I would try to fit with only a ~3" lift as we have on our rig. And I suppose this goes unstated but... these vans are no longer...

Nice progress Jolly. I like the added functionality too. Agreed. Wife and I spending a whole lotta time dreaming up the "requirements" of Van v2.0

As others have noted...great foundation. Best wishes on the build and adventures. We've been running the OCs for some time on our AWD van at the Oregon Coast...they've been nice in the wet stuff. Thom

sometimes in the PNW you can never really have to much awning. It was the middle of July and the day before this shot was taken there were puddles from ran all over the place. Shown is a Fiama F45 10' awning off our van + a 10' x 8' tyvek ground cloth used as an awning extender. . . here is a...

confer on the Pelican... just checked at our local C today. I like them as they have the garden hose attachment... something I wish our two Engel 80qt had. Next build. . On our two Engels, we have one in white for veggies and similar, and one in tan for meats/etc. We wrapped both in reflectix...

in our full time rig (a ~43ft toyhauler) we use a Nu-Wave portable induction cooktop. We typically use one of the three lower settings of 100, 200, or 275 degrees to do all our cooking. At those settings the amp draw is ~300, ~400, and ~500 amps. We've gone higher but things cook so fast we...

That is the ~price I remember paying for our BOR "2" lift...which actually ended up being closer to "3". I had a local shop install mine, it took him a couple hours of labor. YMMV. We luv the lift on ours. Also allowed for larger tire size as NYCO stated. The van no longer looks like it has...

Nice stealth placement of the lightbar in the bumper. . Just a quick comment on LED lighting for headlights. I installed 5" x 7" Truck Lite bulbs in place of the stock 5" x 7" chevy headlight. These lights are an amazing transformation from stock. Highly recommend them. . . (more detail at the...

Sweet! Yes on interior pix.

Totally agree all that is possible with these AWD vans as it is our experience also. this one was before the 3" lift and larger tires were on! Many many miles off the pavement.

Spot on on the Dangerfield comment. My wife would divorce me. Yup. said it. Though I do like the engine forward.

our rig to yours it not exactly apples to apples but... . In our Chevy full size conversion we have a usable closet on the street side of a full size bed. It works out to be about a foot deep by seven feet long and has more than enough space for my wife's and my gear (clothes go in the one with...

Greetings, My wife and I made the same basic move. We had a 2007 TRD 4x4 TACO and moved into a Chevy AWD van we had Van Specialties upfit. Great move for us as we no longer needed/desired the 4x4 option but wanted a light overlander with bed, bath, & beyond behind the seats. We are currently...

Hope you have some fun adventures in the van conversion you picked up. A couple tid-bits from what I've read in the thread so far. . . On ceiling fan. You mentioned "Fantastic fan". If you are in research mode sometime check out "MaxxFan". I swapped out the FF for a MF on our van conversion...

I do try to drive right side up!

Has anyone tried to see if the trasharoo will work on smaller tires without much fiddling? I would order on in black if I could make it work on the back spare of our fiberglass trailer's 25" diam.

I pre-ordered a pair after stumbling upon the goTenna tech through another site. Here is my two bits: For this HAM operator, happily married to a MacGirlver that won't even talk on our FRS radios unless she just found a retirement-sized gold nugget down at the river... I think the goTenna will...
