Hi all,
Just a quick introduction to the forum and a few details about my van. But first, a few pictures (before I removed the body trim):
2004 GMC Savana Explorer conversion
121,000 miles
All Wheel Drive (AWD)
Factory limited slip rear differential w/ 3.73 gear ratio
5.3l engine/4l60e transmission/transfer case
Redarc Tow Pro Elite electric trailer brake controller
Factory flat four/seven pin round connectors
I've added 2500HD rear leaf springs and front torsion keys for a mild 2-3 inch lift. All new (4) Bilstein shocks and u-bolts at the same time. BFG AT KOs in 285/70R16 with GFX Off-road rims. Awesome on forest roads and easy sandy washes.
I tuned it with a Max Energy tuner to account for the larger tires and correct the speedometer; I also bumped both engine power and transmission shift points for a little extra umph and better towing capacity (we tow a 2,500lb pop-up camper).
It has a custom full roof rack with an Aluminess ladder for access. The roof rack has two permanent crossbars in the middle for bike trays or cargo boxes. It has a front full width LED bar mounted to the rack, with two left and two right side LED pods, and two rear LED pods all controlled by switches in the dash.
Interior is upfitted by Explorer and has power and heated captain chairs in front, second row captains chairs and a power fold down rear couch/bed. Has both driver side and passenger side double doors and swing wide rear doors. Black tinted windows. Interior shades are intact and in excellent shape.
