As the door slides forward, the connecting bar comes to a stop, and the door swings into the body. If you lengthen the connecting bar, you will need to change the stopping point for an easy door-closeing. The longer bar will provide more room between the door and tire. You may also want to...

Things to consider with the Chevy platform: Do your front tires rub the body mount? The front wall of the mount can be hammered backwards (away from tire), but they need to be heated with a torch. I don't know what wheel offset you ended up with; but anything more than +18mm (inset 18mm) will...

Here is our current van. Only 2WD. 3" spindle lift from Boulder Off Road, and getting new springs in the rear (currently lift blocks).

The system looks nice. With all the fabrication and modification, I assume it is built very stout, for the typical loads carried in a 3500? We have a 3500 Express RV, that weighs 9500 pounds, and we are saving for a 4x4 conversion. We currently have a 3" spindle lift up front. In the...

Just going through my "Subscribed Threads". Any updates on the ExPo Bug?

Put the write-up or a link to it, in this thread. :) :lurk:

I wish I lived closer. I would love to buy your Tin Top, to use with our little RV.

We are used to seeing objects lit from one direction. Most commonly from a point above the object. In the case of this photo, the rock is lit from low-right, and the rock behind it is lit from low left. There is a lesser light coming from upper left. This probably looked very interesting, in...

It is good to see your over here on the ExPo. It looks like you went back to Tahuya, after it got all wet and messy. :)

Did you get a chance to drive it, and get a feel for the suspension response? I had my OME suspension in for over a year, before installing Light Racing UCA's. It was drivable, but it always felt nervous. The camber could never be set right, without loosing the caster completely. It...

What rear axle do you have installed? Does it have the disc brakes? Mine is a semi-floating axle, & I would like to upgrade to the full-floating axle. Also; what did you do to lift the rear suspension? And lastly: I love the look of the Hummer 2 wheels. I am currently tracking down a set of...

That is and ExPo member's van (jatorresrv). It is a SAS installed by Advanced 4WD Systems, in Salt Lake City. It is a Roadtrek, but it is not a Quigley 4x4. Here is the post with the video.

When we still lived in Flagstaff (1987), we had a 1979 Sub Brat. I built a tube bumper for it. Light, strong, and easy to mount. Not difficult. I like the simplicity of the Jackson Rally bumper, but I would want it to stick out far enough to stand on it.

This was a great build thread. It could really use some good photographs of the rig. You must have cleaned up you Photobucket albums or something. None of the pictures of your great van are showing. :(

Kamp-Rite makes a double wide Tent-cot and a double wide regular cot.

Mushrooms: Cut the mushrooms as a full slice, so they still have the mushroom outline shape. Then place one of them to the side, revealing a little more of the pasta shell shapes. This will be easier to fix than the mushrooms: Reduce the vignetting. Brighten the image. It feels like we are...

That is why attaching a down blanket to the underside of the cot makes sense. The insulation does not get compressed. And a down blanket takes up less space, when packed away, than most sleeping pads. It also weighs less than most sleeping pads.

The Hummer wheels look good on the van. Look for Otto-Max springs for the front. Or you can use the springs from the Diesel van. SD Truck Springs is an Otto-Max supplier. Also, SuspensionMaxx sells a spacer for the coil spring. But they don't seem to have it posted on their website. Give...

Preparing the aluminum for welding is critical to a good weld (MIG or TIG). You must sand off any surface that might get pulled into the weld puddle. Aluminum oxide does not melt in a weld puddle, and will make a mess of welds. Your van is coming along nicely. Maybe you could mount the AC in...

Attach a down throw-blanket to the underside of the cot. You will sleep toasty warm.
