That thing is cool! Been thinking of something similar for a future project........

I've seen the "99 E36 M3 (LS swap coming soon)" line in your sig for a while now. You can't start on the Centurion van until the M3 project is done. I know all too well how distractions like that can keep us from finishing cool projects....

This one has been lingering for a few years now

I know, I know! Dying to start the M3. Just have to find the time!!!!!! I hope to start the tear down next month.

Split bumper Camaro? My favorite!

1000+ HP twin turbo LSX split bumper Camaro... Having two babies 22 months apart has slowed me down a little. Its either the van or the Camaro right now and the car seats don't fit between roll cage tubes. haha!

....


AdVanture van looks AWESOME!!!! Really impressed with that stance! I totally have lift and 35" tire envy....

Wow, that is awesome.

Is this the van that you pulled the body off and installed head studds? Lots of space in the extended vans, especially with out an interior.

Nope, we're not that quick! The van you're thinking of is a black EB.

I've been working on new print instructions for some time, excited that its all coming together (when I can find time!) Here is the new wiring/install diagram for the AB001. This is the part that I get the most phone calls on. It's pretty simple, but can seem complicated! Hopefully this helps.

Some more updates/van porn

Advanture van front end



Nick's camper van is back for some changes in 2 phases. #1 is under way now, should be back from Rhino today. Phase 2 is a 2wd lift with our OBA system and a rear ARB locker.



Chad's 2013 V10 is moving along. We've cleaned & undercoated the entire body as well as the normal conversion goodies. More pics over the weekend as we get ready to put this rig on the ground. This is the 1st van (besides V5) that is using our new progressive spring packs.

Chris-

Where is the best place to mount the AB001 itself? Do you have any pics of how/where you mount it?

What do you use for underbody cleaning?

 

[bknudtsen]

Chris scrubs the frames with his underlings.

What do you use for underbody cleaning?

The frame had 13 years of dirt and surface rust, so we did it the hard way (I shouldn't really say WE, since I didn't do it!) Here's a hard working UJ employee after spending some quality time on the frame
