Where have you been mounting sPod switches on the old style interior, other than on the door?

Seems like the best place. Just didn't know if there were other spots.

Thanks! 2 weeks left at work...

I love having them there on V7, don't have to look, super easy to use. At some point I'll move V4s switches from the overhead to the door.

I've a question for you, Chris. I've got some front end squeaks and think I have narrowed it down to the leaf spring shackles. I don't see a way to grease them. Am I missing how to service them? Is there a good way to minimize the squeaking from them?

I had the same front end squeak/creak issue and narrowed it down to the top rear bolt in leaf spring shackle. To remedy, I would tighten the nut then back it off 1/4 turn at a time until the squeak went away. After several months of driving it would reappear, so I would repeat the process. I have since sold the van, but my next plan of attack was going to be replacing the metal washers with phenolic washers.

Testing a new x-member cutting guide that we'll start including in the CK001 kit soon.

Fresh batch of CK001 plates from laser, ready for another 100 UJ vans! This run will put us at over 650 van kits sold in 11 years.

That is some serious solar. Any idea how many watts that system will be?

Those wheels on the third van are pretty dope.
