Seat base I'm interested and will PM you!

Hey FEDUPWBS do you have any pics of your install. Would like to see your Double shock install pics and opinion on the ride you have from the front suspension.

Tires are used but when measured compare to new there is about 60% of the Tread left. I had to replace these when I did my Axle Swap. Wheels are 8-170 and are in perfect shape, just two years old. Never punctured or patched! Not the best picture, a little dirty but will clean up very nice...

Here's one in LA I know it's a little out of your price range but it has everything but the 4X4. http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/3116805649.html

Thanks for the comments guys. Terry, what I meant by doing it different next time was that my procedure that I wanted to follow was thrown out the door when that storm came in on Saturday. The original plan was to have two fork lifts lift the top and I would cut the hole in the top of the van...

Just took the van out for a spin and everything looks good, feels good, and it doesn't drive much different. Inside measurement in the center is 79" but I still need to insulate, so you can subtract about an inch. It does taper off towards the edges a little, maybe two inches. Also in the back...

I'll have some more pics that explain what we did. We elevated the top I drove under, then cut a hole in the roof to get to the top and those 4x4's from inside the van. So just as we started cutting the hole in the van we started getting another wave of rain, so that made a little more...

Top Resting on the Van now Here are some shots getting the top off the Trailer. I'm sure I'll get some comments about how I supported the top, but hey it worked. A little later I'll get some pictures uploaded that Bill Wilson took. Thanks for coming and helping out BW!!

No options as far as I know, I think you could customize something for a little more money. I think it would have to come out of the mold/cast like mine and then they would have to cut that portion out and build something by hand for you. Just depends on what you want to spend. I don't know if...

Recessed Area in Back for A/C unit I'll do my best with pictures. Here is a shot of that area in back for the A/C

Picked up the Top I was able to pick up the top yesterday. Wow, a day early! Annabel at Fiberine was extremely helpful, answering my emails and willing to work with me over the phone. Thought I share a picture picking up the top and one from the inside of the van heading south bound on the...

No plan to modify the top. We will not be installing an A/C unit right away. Possibly down the road I'll look into a low profile unit. The rear of the top has an area for the A/C that sits down 4-6 compare to the rest of the top. Our Bed is going to go in the front of the top, and our galley...

The Liner is currently only available for the Bubble top with an additional $450. I was told that they had not completed a Super Camper top yet with this liner, but they seemed hopeful that they could do it. I would imagine the liner would add to the weight and probably cost an additional ~$600...

I was told the Super Camper top was between 350-400 lbs. I believe it was Sandi with a bubble top that replied that their Regular body van weighed ~200 lbs. more after there install. Shorter top, plus the removal of the metal roof. If you don't have a reverse flange you must attach the screws...
