Chris, looks great.

Can you get height measurements for Vanaconda and a 4 inch lift van? I'm looking for total height to top, then to top of roof rack.
Much appreciated.

Vanaconda sits @ 96" without the roof rack. I just took the rack off, so i don't have the dimension with it.... The last 4" van I did is 87".

Thanks for the info.

Hmmm. My bone stock '94 2wd van on sits at 86 already. Do the new vans sit that much lower?

Yea they do. Crazy that it's so close in stock form!

I suppose that is how they lowered the COG for rollover

I can't drive it to work because it won't fit in the parking garage. I can tell you I really appreciate the tighter turning radius compared to the newer vans.

That is the basis of my question. The parking garage is 7'3" clearance.
When this happens, i'll be moving to the surface lot.

How long does it take to fill a tire from 25 psi to 60psi ?

Not sure, I'll have to run a test! Putting the system on a van that I'm building right now, I'll do it asap.

any new developments from your "testing" ?

Since we're not scared of 6.0's, we're doing another upgrade! EGR cooler delete, turbo cleaning, coolant flush, fuel filters, custom tuner and a fuel regulator spring will ensure a long 6.0 life.



Some new parts for V4 arrived today too! I've been working with sPOD on a custom setup,, and Toolman has been building an overhead console. Everything is going to come together very nice. If you're not familiar with sPOD, check em out--- http://www.4x4spod.com/

I could have used that SPOD in my UNIMOG !

Proud to announce that roof racks are in production! The rack is 5 x 9.5' and made from 1" tubing with 3/16 supports that have 1/4" holes ready to accept awnings or lights on either side. The flooring is expanded metal in the rear (I like to put firewood and smaller items back there) and 1/2" box tubing up front for the big stuff. The racks are powdercoated black texture. I have some accessories in the works too, so I'll be adding product as quick as I can. Tire & fuel can mounts will be 1st. Here are some pics of the prototype tack mounted to Vanaconda, please let me know if you have any questions! Price is $995 complete, plus freight.





5 racks are being built right now, and 2 are spoken for already! Please email or call me to get one of the remaining 3.

---- we will be building more once this 1st run is gone ----

Awesome Chris! What is the weight, will it support a couple of peeps up there and can you make one longer for me for my extended van?
