Re: Whats involved in replacing a right front axle (half shaft)

Hi, Thanks for the info! All went well. I also did the shocks and other front axle and the hub too. Was a little easier to get the axle out with the shock and hub off first. The tranny cooler was a snap once I finally learned to shrink my hands small enough to get them in between stuff... Ha, Not!! ...

Re: New "dingy" for remote off pavement travel & camping?

Looks like a "non-competition or civilianized" version of your everyday Trials bike made into a trail bike. I've turned two of my old trials bikes into trail bikes. Other than maybe a more elaborate and useable seat design I can't see any different idea's really. This outfit just may have ...

Re: Anyone use air adjustable shocks?

I'm using Air-Lift air bags in the rear my '01 Safari. A HUGE necessity! They mount between the spring and the frame. They let me load the van up and also tow a camper or trailer at the same time.

What year front diff's will fit a '97?

Hey Guys

I need to replace the front differential in my 97 Astro.

Anyone know what all other year front diffs will bolt in and work ok? :-k
(I'm not concerned with the ratio, I have a gear set to use in any of them.)

Thanks!

Have a MFI upgrade on 2001 Safari question..

Hi VanFans,

Just a quick question for those who have done a MFI injector replacement/upgrade.

Do I really need a different meter hold down bracket or will the 2001's original bracket work with the new mfi?

Upgrading my injection and won't get the bracket with it if it's not needed.
Thanks much.
