Chris, any chance we'll see a photo of the winch bumper you've been working on for the newer body style vans before you're well deserved vaca?

Nope.... That van will be torn down & converted as soon as I get back! We'll start the bumper then. While I'm gone Justin will be working on a run of the 92-07 bumpers.

Cool, enjoy your vacation!!

ya, felt terrible taking his baby away. Yeti will be put to good use while shooting our film across the southwest.

And the front bumper with some black coating. We also added Dynatrac diff covers f&r.

Chris, I might have missed this somewhere... But any other details on this bumper? Will it be available for earlier (95 specifically) models?
Thanks

The V3/yeti story continues! Congrats on the purchase!

This bumper is sort of an "experiment" for the new front end. No plans for the 92-07 vans (yet) and we may or may not go production for the 08/up. We have another design coming up soon for the new rigs.

Damn, the Yeti was for sale then not, then for sale again. Congrats Chad!

If anybody is using sienna recliners as front seats, have you tried mounting a rotating seat base paired with the MG seat mount?
it would be cool to be able to spin those things backwards!

I'm ordering another set of Sienna seats to try this out soon. I think that the existing mount might be too tall to mount to the off-the-shelf swivel bases so I'll probably be designing a new mount specifically for this purpose. Not to mention that the angle of the Ford seat mounts is different than the Toyota so the already deep bucket of the Sienna would be deeper...too deep in my opinion.

if you can make a mount that allows those Sienna seats to swivel, I'm 100% sold!
I just purchased a 2008 E350 diesel cargo... that's gonna be my first mod.

been lurking on this forum forever. pretty excited to finally start a build!

Back in NC! We had a great trip, V5 was nothing but a pleasure for over 2K miles. No 4wd, no camping, but it was still fun. Took a few pics along the way.

Here is V5 next to one of the remaining buildings of the Kings Park State Hospital in NY. This was a HUGE psychiatric hospital on Long Island, my whole family worked there. Shut down for years, its a bit spooky now.



We made two trips to the eastern end of LI. The new AMP steps helped the vertically challenged



Back to the shop Monday, time to bust tail. The guys worked while I was gone so I'll post their progress.

Welcome Back--nothing like time away with the family.

Now back to work as you've have Vans on the lifts, no doubt needing your expertise.....
I can think of one in particular (LOL)
