Too bad about the 6.0. I went 7.3 but wondering if I should have went v10

Busy week so far, same as the rest! Here's a cool pic from a customer install in CT, Chinook! 4" lift, V10
The silver 6.0 is back on the road after a pretty major overhaul! Runs great, waiting for a new tune since the existing one is terrible. WAY too aggressive on the transmission and we needed to reprogram it for the new 4.56 gears. Besides the engine work we added a rear skid system, OBA and an Espar diesel heater. The van already had the 6" 4x4 conversion, UJ fuel tank & front bumper along with the SMB pop top & Aluminess tire carrier. I'll have more pics on the website soon.
Prototyped some new light mounts, this is a 30" Rigid light bar mounted to the 08/up Aluminess bumper. We also made some mounts to put a 4" LED in the rear bumper.
Sienna seats for the Blue 2014 van!

Been a while Chris, I was on the Death Valley trip with you and Brad a couple of years ago. Any pics of what you are building for Brad?
I still talk about watching you snake your van through that slot canyon unscathed!
Yo! That was a great trip, one of the best I've been on for sure. I'll never forget getting to the top from the Hot Springs and the guy in the 4Runner telling me I wasn't going to make it!
Still collecting parts for Brad'd rig, building the axle next week and we'll start the teardown soon. It's going to be really nice!

The red 2014 van is mobile! Still have a few things to finish up.
We have a few new products releasing this week, all light mounts! This is for Aluminess rear bumpers to mount a 4" Rigid for reverse lights. I think they'll do the trick
Work continues on the Steel Blue 2014 as well! Just set it on the ground late today. This van is what happens when you let me do what I want

Sure, it could. Just have to be careful with tire size & load capacity. And the looks, don't want it too narrow on the trac width.
