Big Brown truck arrived day before yesterday with my stuff from Dan the Man. I put the 2" front hockey pucks in yesterday. Took just 3 hours. Most time consuming part was disconnecting the E brake cable to fit it into the new bracket. The equalizer thing would only allow me to turn it's nut a f...

...And being Harbor Freight, they gotta be cheap to purchase too! I always have to laugh when I'm at HF. "Did you find everything you were looking for?" Hell, I was looking for a $15 torque wrench. Found that in eleven seconds. But while I was here, I picked up some jack stands, easy-outs...

I like the cammo look.. but not because its "the cammo look" looks like you have the reflective glass on yours too. Ive been looking at the preforated vinyl stick-on cammo sheets to cover my reflective glass (when needed) but it seems everyone is way to proud of that stuff to sell at a re...

...hey Lumpy! Im diggin' that cammo job! first one Ive seen on an safastro. got any more pics of it? and what kind of batteries do you have on that rig? Thanks! There's a bit of a write up in the "Members Vans Photos" section. No special batteries, just the single, stock-like, break your ...

...Especially since I tore 1/2 the carpeting & padding out! (to be replaced with thinner stuff later) It's amazing how hollow sounding vans can become! ... I made new sub-carpet padding out of those 24" square interlocking neoprene pads they sell at Harbor Freight. Made for standing on at ...

...i checked the plug wires, all were firing. i put in all new plugs. i'm trying to do a compression check, but man is that a b***h to do that... How did the old plugs look? Even if it's not the plug's problem, as the new ones don't cure it, the old one might (or might not) give us a hint as to whi...

My 89 started out factory metallic blue. I'm a licensed Amater Radio Operator (Ham) and I tend to install antennas on anything that moves or sits still. After mounting a couple on the Astro, I needed to spray a bit of primer around the holes where I did the antenna mounts. This led to that, long sto...

Being a fan of most anything painted OD, desert tan or camo, I offer a hearty "RIGHT ON" to your paint scheme

Lift it

Hang on to that wife

BLK supply wire FROM breaker box goes to BOTH terminals on ONE side of the dual switch. BLK wires on the OUTPUT side of the switch are NOT tied together. Each BLK wire on the OUTPUT side goes to it's individual load (fan or lamp). WHI supply wire FROM breaker box goes to BOTH the WHI wire to lamp an...

Ditto on Dan the Man. I talked with him about an hour ago on the phone. I ordered parts online yesterday and he phoned me to let me know they were shipping and that the shackles were drop shipped from a company here in Phoenix. He gave me some tips on PBBlasting a couple days in advance and had a co...

89 Astroid with 282k miles is still on the road. And lots of times OFF road! :yawinkle: New crate engine about 10k ago. New differential just a couple months ago. Battery, couple of interior lamps, tires. Other than that, it's running on what I think are all the original parts, I'm not the orig owne...
