Can you elaborate on this when you get the chance? What other parts are being used to fill the gaps? Front diff? T case, will these parts all be from a GM truck?
Will you been converting one soon? and or selling a specific conversion kit?

For those of us with 2wd and no lift, will this still be bolt-in?
Are you guys in your shop next Saturday? Is it still possible to see this stuff in person?

As far as the front suspension goes it looks a little like this......
To do so we moved the front suspension forward 1" in the new LCA & UCA.
When I first saw the upper control arm I thought "man they added a lot of caster to the front end". Moving it forward makes a more sense! I really like the covers for the upper uni-balls, that should help keep the crap out of them and help them last a bunch longer!
Those are some really respectable travel numbers with stock track width. I would be really curious to see what kind of numbers it could pull with some 2" per side wider arms! Could even add the with using some 2007+ shafts. I am surprised stock it pulled 8", never figured out what my 1500 AWD pulls but it does handle washboards about a 1000000% better than my Jeep ever did.
Looks like you kept the factory camber adjusters. Besides making for an easy alignment, being bolt on and having tons of camber adjustment is there any reason for keeping them? Had a buddy with a S-10 and his adjusters were frequently getting knocked out of alignment. We eventually resorted to welding them in place........ But then again he did drive by Braille:elkgrin:

If you decided you wanted to lift your 2 wheel drive van with our performance kit, you would have the ability to add 4x4 later or now if you want to do it all at once. All of the parts would be from a GM truck similar to what Quigley offers for vans with more miles or past the cut off year for them to install. A kit may come at some point but this will be an install only by us at this time. If you would like more info please give us a call.
In addition you would need drop brackets and spindles, both of which we can supply.
This is a bolt in kit with a little trimming needed. We are not in this sat and you would need to come down by wed to see in person.

sema 2016 inside van build
I saw that Toyota van at Sema, sweet Toyota van.
Some cute girls and one sick old toyota van and only one comment... Did we put everyone to sleep?
With the Chevrolet 4x4 Quigley van we wanted to make the interior just as nice as the exterior! The use of the Toyota Sienna was easy, the rear folding bench was a little more work! The seat was junk from the supplier and had to be completely modified in order to not take up a ton of space. The unique part of this build was the use of a CARGOGLIDE in the rear section, which the rear bench bolts to. This allows the rear bench/bed to slide completely out of the rear of the van to enjoy a day or night under the stars. It also doubles as a nice outside space for cooking.
The roof features 2 KICKER amps flush mounted in the headliner along with 6x9 speakers and heating and A/C vents.
More pics to come....

4x4 chevrolet van cage
Make sure you guys pay attention that this van has a full 2" roll cage inside! This is what the Chevrolet van looked like one week before the show as all of the interior had to come out in order to powder coat the roll cage!
More pics of when we were building the 2" cage inside the Chevrolet Quigley 4x4 van.

This was an impressive build. Even more so considering the time frame. For your next van build I recommend you skip the plush toyota seats and install custom "Homer" bucket seats for all the occupants.

That homer bucket was the seat for about two weeks while the seats were getting re-upholstered.
