In my opinion, since you are almost doubling the stock tank with the 155L upgrade, it would be like adding almost 4 extra fuel cans to your rig. If you have been okay with 2 extra fuel cans, you're almost doubling that. Unless you have found that having the 80L + the extra 40L hasn't been...
The idea of a mold is great, if you want to make more than one set, otherwise it seems like a lot of extra work.
The foam/glass seems like a good idea, as you'll get the strength of glass with the insulation of foam. Downside is it's bulkier since you have the thickness of the foam. I would...
You might be better off asking in the Van area of the forum, since it is more likely folks have used them in vans.

Yeah, I have seen that before but I haven't tested it with mine. I have heard that you should always continue to use the same tape measure for your project and not switched between them, for this very reason. Think I am going to have to test mine now... :ROFLMAO:
Also you forgot the torsion bar front suspension. Our Advanced 4x4 GMC van has this (basically from a 1 ton truck parts but it's a custom torsion bar crossmember by them). Even as a 1 ton van, empty, this thing actually rides great.
Each setup has pros and cons.
Absolutely. This is my primary build spot. IG is just a side thing but since it's easy to do updates in real time, it might get some a day or two before I post up here. :)
Reviving an old thread. Read the Four Wheeler article and that's a great idea. I just ordered one off Ebay and ordered an LED replacement bulb. Should be a nice upgrade to the non working light. I like the idea I can get 18' of length and can turn it on/off.
Did a little work this past weekend. Reinstalled the front headliner and added some sound deadening to the side walls. We drove it last night and it seems a little quieter inside.
I also started a new IG page, if you want to follow along a little more in real time...
You also might try posting in the Van area, as this is Full Size, which is primarily trucks and larger SUV.

Start building your own. Fiberine (who is the only ones making them for Chevy/GMC) just started making them earlier this year. I would be willing to bet there are less than a dozen vans with those installed, so finding a used set in not likely, unless the van was totaled. I keep thinking of...
I just had a Fiberine 24" transit high top installed a few weeks back. With the reinforced roof, side panels, awning windows, installed with tax, it was closer to $8500. Total game changer and worth every penny. I looked for quite a while to find a used on for an Extended Chevy/GMC and...
