@Brutalis Next time you might want to try http://www.rockauto.com/ , me and some other folks here in the german 'stro-forum had a pretty good experience with them, and delivery happens to be really fast at times. On one occassion I passed an online-order on Wednesday at 22:00 and the parts were deli...

one guy over here (Derek - the european) had an issue with tires rubbing on the airbag, he has 255 wide tires on BMW X5 rims with adapters and this setup showed to bring the wheel a little bit to much inwards, in consequence he had a new set of wheel-adapters made.... this said, you might want to ch...

This is a question to those who switched to all-electric rad-fans:

How did you guys setup switching of fan(s) regarding A/C operation?
Always on when A/C is on?
Or only when compressor is on?
Or when pressure (=temp) in the A/C-system reaches a certain point?
Or any other option?

Thanks

The thread is old but I thought this might be of general and timeless interest: Airlift also make a kit for the Astros 'til 95 with the composite springs. Actually the installations instructions linked in the first post of this thread are for this airbag-kit. SANY5650 (Medium).JPG SANY5654 (Medium)....

@LaGrasta
Switching to Firestone "Ride-Rite" airbags might be an (expensive) alternative,
they are sitting on the axle.

Congrats.... joined - this won't surprise anyone - by my wife =D> Very good choice indeed, just installed a Jet Performance chip today and this mod definitely rocks. But we don't want to bore the ASV-folks with Chrysler-tales, do we? And no, no lift planed :D Enjoy! PS just to show that we manage so...

Derek,
and you were saying lately - while staying overnight - that you wouldn't dare taking part because of your deficient language skills ?! lol

I beleive that the pic is the underside of an Astro, actually. Correct! @GnarliSafari, sorry for not beiing sufficiently concise st4s, what mods did you do to run propane on both the Astro and the Nitro. Welcome aboard, by the way! \:D/ Huuh, reading & understanding a foreign language is much e...

where the hell do you install a large propane tank in an Astro? http://astrosafarivans.org/bb2/download/file.php?id=172 Net capacity (=80% of gross capacity) is approx. 76l My wife's Nitro is also converted to propane and the tank is mounted likewise in place of the spare wheel. Propan is currently...

Looks like you can enhance any sway bar

As does the Bentely GT (and yes, I know that the Bentley isn't german). Hmmh, I (partly) disagree on this one. Bentleys are still assembled on the old Rolls-Royce production-site in Crewe (England) and they still make some models (Brooklands, Arnage, Azur) technically based on earlier Rolls-Royces ...

Pic shows Grabbers on stock wheels.
Ride is surprinsingly quiet. Had to grind to make them fit.
Pic shows before grinding with plastic-cover already shortened.
I forgot to take a pic afterwards, I'll post one tomorrow..

DS Break to be precise, congratulations...

a hint: since we left the american continent with the Lamborghini already I thought we might stay in Europe AND I'm pretty much influenced by french culture, having lived around Paris in the late 60s and 70s (just that period of life when little boys are only interested in cars and can't imagine bei...

General Tire is now a subsidiary of Continental Tire, a german manufacturer http://www.generaltire.com/generaltire/ I have a new set of Grabber AT2 in 235/75-15 waiting to be mounted. I just need to finish the installation of the 2"-lift-kit first this WE. I'll post my first impressions in a co...
