A big issue for me while in arizona was having to air up and down like 3 or 4 times a day depending on where i was going. With the weight of the van and handling, I don't like to run low pressures on the street. I don't mind the TIME it takes to air up and down, but more the process. It sucks...

Picked up the audio today, components front and rear and a killer amp. Got a great deal on it all, so worth it
Also picked up a new box to make it easier to get tools to the van, and keep from just dropping it all on a table...
If they plan on opening back up numbered roads ill do something for them. Until then, they can do it themselves
Ill pack out stuff i find when i camp, but thats about all im doing for those guys.

Queen bed instead of Full. Still the same layout, but wider
Front will only have a winch and hitch mount
Spare tire mounted to the door (rear bumper is just too killer to the departure angle)
Fridge will be under the kitchen area...
