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

I have 18.4 mpg on my current tank and that was traveling at 70-75 and city. I am very happy with the improvements in mileage over what I get in winter. had a little quick and dirty fabrication done, I'm not worried about the looks because no one will see it anyway. http://i696.photobucket.com/album...

I haven't had my AWD kick in on dry pavement yet as other have reported but it lights up nicely with less traction. Then while on a standard ...

Re: southern wisconsin AWD astro driver

with the air compressor I was told to keep the compressor hidden and that's just were it worked out! it would have gone on the driver side where the tank would have fit in with it except the rear a/c took up too much room. that space is not reserved for the future power inverter. in other news, I go...

Re: southern wisconsin AWD astro driver

Thanks guys. And this weekend I am going to be turning what normal is a 1 1/2hour drive into a 4+ one by taking all the backroads. not all are paved so it might not be so clean when I get done with it though....

also I cant wait to get started modifying the van more!

Currently its basically stock e...
