    The not-so-definitive guide to Sienna seats

    Strover let me know your progress here. My Land Rover seats are great but they are missing arm rests. I have looked at fab'ing some on but have yet to find the right Range Rover seats to steal them from. Ryan

    Newbie AWD Astro Overlander Build

    Going back a little to the post on the bumper ..... if you are trying to ditch the mommy van thing I think pulling the cladding off the sides helps a ton as well! It is a lot of work but really changes the look of the van. Ryan

    Colorado Camper Van: Chevy Astro long term review

    This has now been answered ......I think that by 2012 they were new tops. I had asked for the initial gel coat be black and Derek checked with the manufacturer. I saw the top before installation and it seemed new.... But if there was a remanufacturing process it might be hard to know. Ryan
