Fuck that shit. It's supposed to be like 75° here today.

When I see a nice as hell van... all I can think of is

badass van man. time for a 4x4 conversion?

read the thread a bit you will see its actually going the other way around. with this being said today i called the guy who was going to help me and hes back working crazy shift for the town plowing the streets, so im liek no biggy i stil didnt receive my items.
i walk outside to bring the garbage back from the street and thats when the holy light of heaven shinned uppon my mail box. i had a usps package + an issu of carcraft.
i guess the van is gonna wait til after xmas, also i talked to my dad and he wants me to try his rims on my truck... il take good pics of those during xmas to let you see. hes also willing to let me have the compressor in his truck if i get rear air struts

got some work done on the Van today, ran into some bushing issues just like i did with my Mazda haha, the bolt is seized to the inside of the bushing sleeve witch turn inside the bushing.
this happened on one of the leaf's eye and on one of the struts. while cutting the strut's bolt out i accidentally gridded into the lower part of the strut and had oil spill all over... by then my grinder disc was to small for me to get to the leaf bolt and i didn't have a sawzall with me so i called it a day went back home ( 1h25min drive from my place). in all i got one side done but il prob be needing new leafs and bolt for the driver side since the bolt are stuck into the leafs bushing. i dont know if i can find just the bushings or actually just get a new main leaf with the eyes with new bushings in them and replace my old one with it. i got lots of shopping to do and i took my front brake measurements il be needing spindles for 1.25inch rotors

here is a teaser, this is the side that has the leaf back into place with the axle sitting on top of it without the axle pad so should be even more into the well, note is looks like it has camber that's because the other side of the axle is not over the leafs but still under

Pimpin.

still loving this van thread, its gonna be so awesome when its finished

just ordered these from summit
3inch drop spindles for 1.25 disk brakes and 2'' lowering coils both DJM suspension brand

So... have you thought about paint schemes? Maybe a mural of horses running?



Or a classic two tone? Tastefully pinstriped~ ofc
