In non van related news, picked up another car on my bucket list I've loved these Mark VII Lincons since I was a kid in NY and have been watching the market for years. Couldn't pass this one up. It was here in NC, 37k miles, one owner, ridiculously clean inside & out. So sick!

Ha. Thar thing is sweet. Whenever I come home with something like that, the more my wife rolls her eyes, the more **************' I know it is.

Exactly. I'm between wives so I get to do whatever I want! Feels great, I need to avoid marriage forever.

Definitely cool to see a closer look at all the custom goodness on V4. Looks like you've touched every single inch of that rig. That trussed Sterling is a beast. Thanks for sharing.

V4 question. How is the hydro assist on the street? I have yet to come across a half decent review on the street behavior side of it.

I have read about some twitchiness but am not really sure what they mean by that. If that describes great turn in like your focus RS or my focus svt then I'm all for it.

Also e series parts can be hard to find so I'm assuming it's just a f series setup?

I ran a ram assist on vanaconda, never had any issues or negative affects. For V4 I do need a smaller ram because the steering effort is harder when sitting still, I'd like it to be a bit faster. Doesn't bother me enough to do it immediately and other than that I don't know it's there.

Do you have a recommendation on bore size? I'm a 7.3 with a coil sprung D60 on 35s. Or is this another try and see kinda project?

Smaller than 2", depends on the manufacturer and what they have available.

I wish Sportsmobile had done something like that little Born Free unit instead of the classic. Build it really beefy to hold up off road and sell it for $200K. Oh well, keep wishing.
