AlphaVan rear axle looking good and complete! Sterling 10.5, ARB locker, 4.10 gears, welded axle tubes, powder coated housing, Dynatrac cover, Fox 2.0 res shocks< Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Nice view of our EB rear skid system and part of the exhaust too. What looks like a scratch isn't! I didn't see it until the pic was taken, its a water stain. The exhaust is 100% ceramic coated.

Pictures dont do it justice. That van didn't look this good when it rolled out the factory door.

what do you do with all the 3/4 and 1 ton front 2wd suspensions?

i have a 1/2 ton, and as stupid as it sounds, i really wanna run stock 8 lug steelies. i have no plans for 4x4, and its probably dumb to swap from my 2006 1/2 ton parts to 1 ton parts just so i can get some grandpa wheels.

rear axle shouldn't be a huge deal, except i just had 4.10's and a LSD put in my 8.8

heres to not thinking stuff thru.

They usually go to scrap.

Truck freight will probably be in the 4-500 range, best guess.

Call Quigley, Sportsmobile, or Glenn at Agile?
Get one local

Also, I've got my old steelies sitting here in my garage for you if you want them. Better on your ride than me turning them into something artsy.

Didn't even think about that.

The Swiss invasion continues! In for some 6.0 work, wheels/tires, flares, few other odds & ends before it goes across the pond.

Another day of Swiss prep. Viva is on the lift for some cleaning, transmission service, finish up the driveline brake. Andrew's rig is getting some 6.0 love, our standard treatment.

Alpha is getting roof rack panels, had to borrow a ladder from our neighbors!

 

[Bikersmurf]

Looks like you might need to get your own ladder to reach the top of the good looking vans you keep building.

 

[ujoint]

Yea maybe! We normally add the roof panels before the rack or top goes on, this was an add on/afterthought.
