Re: Home Brew Lift Kit 95 AWD

I have the Autozone shackles, have had for many many months, in fact, just waiting for the time to install them. (Right around the time I bought the stuff to lift the Astro - also sourced my own parts - I rescued a Volvo 240 Wagon that had been sitting derelict for almost 10 years, decided to turn i...

Re: Grill Guard

Yup, shows up as $319 for me too, but if you got it for $96 thats awesome! Perhaps they realized that they mis-priced after you bought one.

Re: Overland Lifts ???

Getting ready to do my lift here in the next month or so. I already have the shackles for the rear, and pucks for the subframe. Can anyone tell me the size, length and thread pitch I need for the subframe bolts for a 2" puck? Of the six puck/bolt combo, there are two different size bolts. My s...

Re: New Owner of Overland Vans

I've also noticed the tube bumpers are gone as well. Any chance you'll be bringing these back?

Re: lift options?

Okay, I did a search and didn't see that anyone else had mentioned them, but I'm wondering if anyone has looked into the Chevy "lowering shackles" at Autozone, part #13-4100 to use in place of the OLV 2" lift shackles. I've seen these same shackles used to lift Dodge trucks and Ford R...

Show me a lifted van WITHOUT the bumper relocation brackets

I'm getting ready to order my stuff from OLV to lift my van 2". I'm still on somewhat of a budget, so I'm looking at ways to cut cost without sacrificing quality. I understand now that the bumper relocation brackets are not necessary, but there will be a gap between the bumper and the grill (th...

Re: What did you do to/with your van today?

Maybe the door lock switches are the problem. Possibly but, both of them? On the other hand, I suppose its as likely as all the door lock actuators going out at the same time... Honestly that's why I was so excited when I read here about the old lubricant getting sticky and causing problems, I figu...

Re: Blackout Sealed-Beam Grill?

Here's another one I found in Japan, that I could do with my existing hardware: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_SUEvWXDjWPc/TOauIBpJaOI/AAAAAAAAD1M/ECOjjeq4jL0/s400/70011611442010062200800.jpg I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just did this to mine over the weekend: http://i365.photobucket.com/alb...
