Work work work. Finished up the custom seat mounts we made for the KS Camo van, turned out pretty nice.
Wow, those are sweet! You have the upholstery done too?
Someone must have some go-go Gadget arms to tighten those fasteners in there.

Rack coming together for the SMB penthouse top. Solar, lights, love it.
Looks good Chris! Can you tell me size (Watts) and who makes the solar panels you're installing? Thanks...

Ha, thanks. Yes, we made all of it and had the local upholstery shop make the cushions. Everything was assembled before install. All of the cushions are on hinged panels for access.
Thanks! These are both 100w panels. We get everything from AM Solar. Would have went with one 160w but they're out of stock.

Thanks Chris, I'll look them up and check out their products. I'm no where near that point in my build yet, but I'm always looking for info on products I may want to install.

A little vent, info to share as I've had a few guys lately try to bypass us/use us for info/think they can do it better cheaper. Here's a piece of an email I got yesterday:
"Chris, I had mentioned in the email that I sent a couple of weeks ago that I should have stuck with the kit that I bought from you originally. My mechanic thought he could do it better and cheaper…. and he was wrong. Almost double the cost and I still don't have a working 4x4. So with that said I am sending you pictures of what he has done."
Also just got an email from my spring supplier, another guy trying to get our specs and details on springs. Nice try
We've been doing business together for almost 15 years, not our 1st time around the block if you know what I mean.

Looks nice. Does it make out into a bed platform?
How many inches is it to the top of the seat cushions?

I just don't get it.
While I can understand the diy position of wanting something different (4 link, ifs, a gm van, ect)
Why someone would try to copy a readily available conversion system in order to save a couple dollars is beyond me.
What is the saying "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"
Anyways keep up the good work you seem to have many very satisfied customers.
And hurry up on the Nissan conversion work. I figure my van will be worn out in few years and will need replacing.
