Completely off topic but if you and your wife are twins how did you marry? Virginia or Arkansas?

She has a twin sister and so do I.

Yep, it's done! That sucker sent us on a few wild goose chases but it's running great now. I started putting some miles on it yesterday, will post pics ASAP. Have 2 rigs to deliver this weekend so we're wide open.

Busy week so far! Today we finished this:

And pulled this in (half way at least)

Sprinkled some dust and did this

And ended the day with one heck of a Class C pre runner!

Tomorrow we back the booty in to lift the rear and install a t-case.

I listed this in the for sale section but here it is again. New Aluminess roof rack for a SMB pop top, 11' long, full floor with 2 crossbars. $1500!

Uff da, how much does that thing weigh?

 

[ujoint]

Probably ~13k. These things are much lighter than you'd expect. We normally weigh them front/rear but only did the front on this one since we're keeping the stock rear springs. 4400 up front.

Very cool! If I ever get a new RV it will get your kit. So far the old beater works fine. Maybe when the munchkin is out of the house ill get something smaller.

Tribe of 5 Ambo is going home! (for now, will be back for a bumper soon) This beast is packing lots of goodies. E450 7.3, 158" wheelbase, Stage 2 Front D60, 6" lift, NV271, custom 2 piece rear shaft with CV behind the carrier, UJOR Onboard air, Mag Hytec tranny pan & rear diff cover, dual Bilstein 5160's up front, dual 5100's in the rear, Diamond Eye exhaust, American Force 19.5" wheels with Toyo M608Z tires (285/70R/19.5) UJOR Rear HD airbag setup, all I can think of right now! The interior was done by HD-RV.

Stage 1 D60 w/4.56's ready for a van that is coming from TX. Going to be a really nice build.

We had already converted Jed's van to 4wd last year and he decided to make some upgrades including a jump from 4" to 6, OBA, rear airbags, stage 2 front axle, 4.56's and new wheels & tires. Looks great and we'll be wrapping it up Monday.

Next week is already going to be busy, lots to do!

Jed's rig really looks good! Love that color combo on the wagons!

Thanks bk, means a lot coming from you, I've been reading your thread from the start and definitely learned some things. Thanks also to Chris and the boys great job as before. Can't wait to report on the differences between 4" and 6" lift.
