Introducing VanKrishna (now a build thread too)
Finally got some pictures to upload, hopefully they will stay oriented in the original positions in which they were taken!
My slider door would only open from the inside handle, decided to see if it was a diy fix and was pleasantly surprised to find it was only a loose screw on this weird little bracket.
After fixing the handle I found out my actuator is not working, was pondering how it mysteriously stopped working right when I fixed the handle, in ocd fashion I awoke in the middle of the night to realize that it must have been broken for awhile and the door never locked with the others and we never new because we had to open from inside, lol, palm to forehead.
Wish I would have gotten before pics of the slider track, I spent over an hour getting all of the mud and grease out of there! The po's solution for making it work was to pack it with bearing grease and apparently he just kept adding, it was ridiculous!
You can actually see the bearings now
Exterior shots
Size reference, that is a full size Dodge next to it.
Not sure why he put the ladder on the passenger side but at least it's there.
Think I'll use the vents that were installed by the healthcare company for a shore power outlet and water fill.
Finally got to use my EP Trasharoo!
Interior pics; I ended up ripping out the po's build as it just seemed clunky and our season is winding down so out it came.
This was his attempt at sound dampening, apparently this thin black stuff is used in high end home theater applications, not so sure about its efficacy in an Offroad van
The seats are in great shape but not comfortable, Sienna seats coming as soon as I can find a used set in Grey.
This is the flooring he installed, it is HEAVY and it STINKS!!! Reminds me of horse stall mats.
Was surprised that the drivers seat was in such good shape for a fleet/dirt bag rig
Suspension and under carriage;
RIP Kit
KMC's and BFG's
Minor surface rust, any suggestions on keeping it under control?
