Engine is finally running like a top, so the rear bumper is on and next is the skid system..... More pics tomorrow. ---- Van leaves Thursday!

Nice progress today, finally installed the rear skid. I've still got a healthy list of things to do, and hope to wrap it up tomorrow.

Here's the blank skid after powder coat

And with all the goodies bolted down

Installed....

is there an access panel to the compressor, water pump, and batteries from the van?

Wow that is such a sano install. Very clean. If that tank is 20gal, looks like you could easily get a 30gal installed in the same spot.

Awesome set up Chris, very wel thought out. I may have to borrow your concept foe implimentation on my van. :Wow1:

Thanks fellas!!!!! There isn't an interior access, just the quick disconnects & air chuck in the rear bumper. I'll have some detailed pics tomorrow. If anything needs to be serviced, it takes a floor jack and 5 minutes to lower the whole unit.

Thanks. There's a body rib directly in front of where I have the tank mounted, so a larger tank could be used but it would need to be shorter to clear the body. Or.... Make the skid hang down lower, this setup has a 3" drop.

I'm so impressed with your builds!
Previous to seeing these, I could care less about the F vans and never thought of them as anything of serious consideration.

You really exploited the potential and made a very cool product. I really want one...

You are a true craftsman Chris. Need to play the lottery more - can't quite part with my Tacoma....

I got all excited when I saw this until I realized that my '78 happens to have a fuel tank right where this all fit...
