    The lower part is coming off next time I do an oil change. Filter box will remain as there’s a new K&N filter in there.

    So, I learned a fun fact about my engine today. Apparently the airbox intake is only a foot or so above the ground, good thing is it wasn't my engine that took a drink! Someone was driving through a flooded road to get home and a wave from a passing car splashed up above the headlights and the...

    I have some Sterilite foot lockers from Wal Mart. They have 2 latches on them plus a padlock hole. With a little bit of weatherstripping they’re good to go. I had 2 on the roof in the pic but can hold 3 in total. Great buy for $20each

    So the trip was cancelled a day early with extreme bad weather, rain, so much rain. I didn't get a shot but there was almost 100 gallons of water in the boat the first morning. It rained 10 minutes after we went to bed and didn't let up till 6am, then 7:40 all hell broke loose again so we called...

    I was going to make a lexan fairing and put the light behind that but was worried about how the light would refract through it. Originally I had a light bar in place of the fairing but the wind noise was unbearable.

    So this happened today, as I’m out giving the van a shakedown ride on some soft sand trails I run into a barrage of cops blocking the road. Apparently some dude tried to run away from them and spun out his car making a turn onto the trail. Had to sit for 15 mins as they recovered the car with a...

    So, saw this today: I'm not the only one in a minivan overlanding, I just wish they had a better tire option on their rig.

    The lift is very simple, a set of 4 coil spacers installed within the front and rear springs. There sitting in the garage right now collecting dust. I'm at a crossroads with them at the moment; right now with the new light bar installed, I clear my garage door by 1/4", with the lift I won't be...

    Ok, let's get it out in the open, YES its a minivan, YES its 2wd, & YES people think this is crazy, but yet here it is. For years others have built 2wd full-size vans for overlanding, some even converting to 4wd (Sportsmobile, etc.,) and building some of the most capable rigs on the planet out...
