Man it must feel so good to go out in your garage and turn an idea from your head into a custom ladder you mount on your van. The breadth of your skills, man. Kudos.

That rear upper bunk is pretty slick. Your design?

Check out Luthj’s T1N build on here. He’s packed an awful lot of sweetness in there. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/overland-sprinter-build.156260/

Thanks for the reply. Agreed, aluminum is more pricey than steel. But if you drive it far enough you’ll probably make up the difference in fuel economy.

The hammocks are a nice touch.

Where did you find the aluminum cabinet?

Did you post on the two Astro/Safari forums? There was a guy doing them over there, Johnny5 I think, but I haven't seen him post anything lately.

I wondered about that too.

What a solid platform. Whoever found that thing scored big. Looks so good with everything you did to it too. Nice job!

Yeah the market was already warm, then #vanlife made it hot, then #vanlife met covid and it lost its mind. Everybody wants to get the hell out of Dodge these days. Many people who were lucky enough to keep their jobs can/have to work remotely. Not to mention the many others who lost their jobs...

Thanks for the insight. I’ll keep it in mind for my wall panels. I dream of Alcantara on them.

I noticed you using steam on that fabric you cased the first window with. Can you give some details on what was going on there and the fabric you chose?

And now I see you're selling it. Must be hard to let it go. I would suggest adding a link to the classified ad in this thread so people can see both. Good luck with the sale.

Excellent van by the way. Man, you aren't sparing any expense. I love to see things done right.

Where did you find that? Or is it custom?

Great thread. I love to see the way professionals do things. It's inspiration.

PS In case you didn't see this thread, here was one option for lifting an Express AWD. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/n-a-r-v-2-0-2008-chevy-express-awd-project-im-back.213832/

I think suspension lifts make your rig more capable. If you're leaning that way, I would definitely contact WeldTec for their front lift spindles. I lifted my Astro 4" with a combination of 2" body pucks under the front subframe, 2" of lift from cranking up the front torsion keys, and swapping...

Ok I'll look for that, thanks. Probably out of stock because covid. Seems like most everything is in short supply these days.

Do you want a body lift or a suspension lift?
