I wouldn't be too afraid of bags but I wouldn't couple them with wimpy leaf springs. Your springs should be capable of the rated load on their own, with bags doing nothing more than leveling. If you make the bags the load carrier and pop one you're down on the bump stops. Leaves don't have...

Be interested to see that. I have "zero" fashion sense when it comes to color coordination or artistic creativity, so I have to be able to see things. I can't really visualize. I do know that of all the vans you've done I like this flatbed extended cab the best. Damn thing just rocks all...

Hehe, thanks! I actually checked them out this morning. No real info of the type I was looking for but think I found the give-away in a photo on the..contact page? Don't remember for sure but I think the answer was there regardless.. Those are some nice looking wheels but hoooo-boy spendy...

Kind of curious about the manufacture of those rims. Are they forged, or machined from a forged billet? There's a difference. It's mostly professional curiosity because I repair a lot of forging dies for Alcoa Aluminum that make truck and auto wheels and some aircraft as well. I have a set...

1980? Me too, sorta sad to say. Gettin long in the tooth now!

Oh, and gets some MEATS under those things. Need to see some 35s under there! Stock is just pitiful and I bet even 33s would be just shy of looking lost under the bulk.

Me too. My wife has been going on and on about wanting one of these which (sort of) bugs me to no end. I sold a really nice set up Excursion because she complained about its size and didn't want to drive it anymore, and now she wants one of these beasts?

Little short for an Ambo driver aren't ya? :)

If he does and gets any satisfaction he'll be the first I've heard of. Apparently they don't have records for vehicles of that vintage.

Me as well today. Last night it just returned some error msg about the ad no longer existing or some such. May have just been a hiccup on that website.

Man that's a lot of tig, at least to me. Patience isn't my strong point anymore. I did manage to take a junk of steel that weighed 250 ton and weld it into a banana one time. Put 33,000 lbs of weld in that bad boy.

I'm a big fan of lockers, mechanical lockers. I like things dead simple and the mechanical works, always. No air lines to leak/blow out. No compressors to fry. No switches or wires to burn out/break, none off that crap. I've used mechanicals from day one and have no desire to switch to...

You know Harbor freight sells those portable garages for cheap. Got to be better than stringing a tarp. Last time I did that it was laying over my back, in a thunderstorm atop a mountain, while swapping out a toasted electric fan in my Jeep so I could make the next mornings trail run. Not...

I stopped doing that crap a long time ago because it's almost invariably depressing. I figure a project is something I'm either going to do, or not, and don't dwell too much on overall cost. Just worry about one expense at a time and roll to the next one.

Boxed DOM? How did you stop the DOM from turning into a banana during welding?

Link no workee.

Might check out any semi-truck salvage yards in your area. I've scavenged mine for various parts over the years including tanks. There's usually a variety of sizes and generally aluminum. If aluminum and strapped to the truck check under the straps. Aluminum, for those that don't know, might...

Aw crap. I thought you meant here and didn't make the connection. You were the Kansas msg. That's a business line and I get such an unbelievable amount of junk phone calls I rarely answer or pay attention to numbers I don't recognize, and since I have no customers in Kansas..... Oops...

Huhwaaa? How do you leave a voice msg? Or more importantly, how do you listen to it?

I'll be interested in the outcome. I've got a set of trail worthy rims tires on my van and it's got shimmy/vibration I haven't been able to get rid of and it's eating the tires alive. Never thought the centers may not be quite on spot.
