Do you have those field test results I asked you about STEUBER ?

Would the shelving and rear bed be easily removable? I'm just dreaming, but if I were to buy it, I would have to figure out a way for seating at least 5 people, preferably 7. That would require at least putting a couple of captain's chairs in it along with a bench in the rear. Then I would probably have to add windows to it so the passengers could see out. By the time I was done it would be a conversion van, albeit a very bad *** conversion van, but I would hate to do that to Vanaconda. Good luck on selling it. I shared it on my Facebook for you.

It must be so top secret that I don't even have security clearance....
Exactly what I'll be doing if it doesn't sell! The rear platform comes out easy, 6 half inch bolts hold it in.

You're not making this any easier...

Its a bit of an illusion, the Jeep is parked further back than the van. But it still looks HUGE!!

Yep... it's all an illusion with Wranger Unlimiteds. They seem to shape shift depending on task required, they are either to large or to small but never the right size.

Mudhipy is under the knife! We've been collecting parts as it patiently waited its turn. Only 45K on this 6.0 and it's getting the works. Full UJOR 6.0 treatment, 8" lift on 37's, ready to go!
I don't want to make this into a bash fest, but this van came to me directly from Colorado Camper Van. When we started to really look at it, we found many things that I would consider to be below anyones quality standards. I'm only posting pics because I want to make sure that nobody gets this kind of work in the future. I'm going to repair what I can. The pics will do the talking from here------

There are more issues that I'll address later.

Front suspension is out!
This is a low mileage axle, so we'll be refreshening it and adding crossover steering. One issue we'll address is the bolt pattern. Quigley changes the pattern of the unit bearing to 8 on 6.5, and modifies the rotors so they can use the stock wheels. This is fine when new, but a real pain when you start to replace parts. Imagine needing a unit bearing or even brake rotors in the middle of nowhere! Not a good situation in my opinion, nothing in any parts store ANYWHERE will work without modification. So we're putting this axle back to 8 on 170mm by replacing the unit bearings and throwing on a brake upgrade while we're at it.
Plasma comes out tomorrow!
