That is a sweet way to go. My accessories are getting unmanageable. What are the options for mounting on a 2005 E350? Does D side door mean the A pillar?

Or not, which is really what I was after. Not sure I like the thought of an aluminum pan hanging down too low but it appears that it doesn't. I know SMB put skid plates on for some folks. Thanks again and back to your regular programming:)

Chris, you got any handy pics of how far a mag-hytec pan hangs down below the trans crossmember, and transfer case?

Ah so. I find it all confusing and would have to dig deeper. I have a Dynatrac60 front axle but would need to switch from 16 to 17" wheels to fit the bigger rotors. So, I have 13" now. But at least on the vans I thought in 07 or 08 Ford went with bigger brakes and 14" rotors but maybe that...

busy indeed! Looks like quite the triage list but I'm interested in how the SSBC 8piston front calipers install and perform. Eventually I plan on doing something similar or at least going to the bigger brakes that went on the vans in 2008 I think.

Both of your guys install's look tight. Well-played! On an unrelated note, anyone have a Mag-Hytec tranny pan and feels like it hangs too low?

Oh yah, that's the one! I see, the large would extend to the bend in the hood and the louver would have to make the bend as well as cutting some of the hood structure. Thanks! edit to add: do you think the hi flow louvers let in less water because the vents are smaller (even though there are...

Chris, I can't remember if I read it in this thread or somewhere else but is there a reason you prefer the medium size louver over large? http://hoodlouvers.com/shop/powder-coated-black-hi-flow/ 9x14" versus 11x17". What do you use to cut through the fiberglass hood? This mod and re-doing...

wow, those hood louvers came out great. Well-played!

Looking good! Does the complete 5 x 9.5 roof rack for the regular body van fit an RB with a penthouse roof? Wouldn't it be too long?

--2005 E350 RB SuperDuty 6.0 w/ SMB 4x4. 4700lbs F, 5300lbs R loaded with water, bikes, gear, and kids --GDYR Wrangler Duratrac LT315/75R16 E rated. 65 max psi with a load rating of 3860lb. Rims are 16" ATX Mojaves. --50 psi rear and 45 psi F street and offroad. I'm too lazy to air down even...

Spirited discussion of whether it is prudent to air down E-rated tires here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/135520-Tires-E-or-D

Why run the max recommended psi when your rig weights 9,000 or 10,000 pounds and the tires are rated to nearly 16,000 lbs? Maybe if your pulling a trailer but otherwise I would air down a bit for a better ride.

The only knock on the Cooper AT3's is they are not 3 ply. I haven't heard or read of sidewall failures, however, and if it's a concern the Cooper S/TMAXX look like a good option. http://www.4x4review.com/cooper-tire-discoverer-at3-and-stmaxx/

Don't kid yourselves, the reservoir is at 44% full capacity or 110' from full pool. The lake level in 1993 was ~45' lower than it is today. http://www.usbr.gov/uc/water/crsp/cs/gcd.html These pics are misleading as they are taken where the lake is deep in the old river channel. Expect the...

I got mine from Dutchman. Ujoint sources his from Yukon I think. http://www.dutchmanaxles.com/flanged-floater-axle-pair.html Anyhow, you will want to physically measure yours for length. Or, you could use the BOM# and look it up here: http://www2.dana.com/pdf/XGI.pdf

This^^^^. The weather geeks are also blogging about a Super-Nino brewing in the E. Pacific. But really late season winter-type storms in May is not that unusual, it's just been awhile.

Dang, don't hear much of that here. Equipment and copper from construction sites are the hot ticket items. A friend sent me a pic from Parks where 7" has already fallen.

Flag got 5 inches on Saturday and it was gone in 24 hours. Here's the link to keep an eye on. http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/fgz/ Right now, it looks like Friday night/Sat morning for a chance of the white stuff and then unsettled conditions as a trough sags across the southwest. Or, it could be...

Crabby did the blue spring upgrade so he should be getting 65 psi or so. A fuel pressure gage and pyro are the two gages I have that I added that the Scanguage doesn't monitor. No pids. How about the up pipe? Any chance it's not mated just right? Sounds like you still have a leak somewhere.
