Man that front end swap makes such a drastic change. Love it! Can’t wait to see what bumper you come up with. Did you seal the gas tank with a liner or anything after welding it back up?
I painted it. It's been holding up well.
New Warn 12k winch wooooooo!
I went to UJOR to pick up a new bumper they make and a sPOD. When I got there is when the rear end gave up the ghost.
After 15k miles, the pinion nut on the rear end went out and jammed into the locker.
A bumper like this:
I never went full 4wd yet. I honestly didn't feel like messing with it. Since all this happened, and my van is at UJOR, I ordered a 6" kit so I can have 35's instead of 33's. Then on top of that, I'm re-gearing everything from 4.10 to 4.56, adding a OX locker in the rear, and a TrueTrac in the front.
My credit cards are now maxed out.
My current interior:
Looks all fine and dandy but it has a lot of space issues. I'll be revamping it once I get the van back.
On the to do list:
Build bed frame of steel instead of 2x4's.
Move toilet and fridge under bed with slide outs.
Move diesel heater from under the bad to underneath the van.
Re-configure the electrical system.
I added a rooftop ac and I need to do some interior ceiling work to make it work. And hopefully a roof rack.
