What did you do to/with your van today?

Like those adjustable Rancho rear shocks.

I also noticed what appears to be a 1x2 inch box tube on the left side. Is that part of a sub frame extension?

Yes, that tube runs from the sub-frame back to the rear spring hangers. I mounted my rock sliders to it.

when I can't exercise for long periods, I get into trouble...

finished the dashboard mod. and changed out the TC fluid.

Wow! That is excellent. Awesome fabrication and electrical skills.

thanks AP, now, if only I can remember what all the positions in those switches control top- house battery charge and bypass control, middle- aux voltmeter and rear lights, bottom- driving lights and fog lights
Anyone know if there is any way to print out white letters on some sort of transparent stickum...?

Decided to sell Green. I currently have 2 Astros, a Blazer, a Corolla, a Kawasaki KE100 and my wife has her Liberty. Time to thin the herd a bit, in preparation for purchasing my next Astro.

Nice.
I've seen items on Ebay, print to order bumper stickers and the like, never had a need myself so I can't say.
Check Staples or Office Supply, they might have something for you.

Logged on to AllData and downloaded all the schematics and wiring diagrams to finish wiring up the np236 transfer case. Need to get to the pick n pull for a fistful of gm wiring harness so the wiring is original-esque. Baby steps ever forward

Ever since I put the rack on the back, I've been looking for a place to store the five gallon gas spout. I use the gas cans regularly and the spout smells to much to keep it in the sleeping area. Lucky for me, some inconsiderate person dumped a large satellite dish off a road I frequent. Perfect gauge aluminum and I managed to find a large enough piece, free of bullet holes! It was even the same color as the existing stove table!




Room for the bottle jack, lug wrench, spout and lots of other stuff.

Many of the label makers from both Dymo and Brother P-Touch support a white-on-clear label making tape. See the various supplies here on Amazon.

I use my p-touch all the time, so buying a label maker just to print something like your project doesn't sound weird to me...

thanks Herbie, that looks exactly like what I need!

Poly motor mounts came in the mail today... oh boy! Thankfully my new water pump crapped out after 30K, so I've got it all torn apart anyway.

Can't let this comment go un-remarked. Holy heck, that's a huge thing. Good luck in both your sale and your next purchase!

[ihatemybike]

Yeah, I still really, really like Green. It runs great, gets good gas mileage, every common Astro issue has been addressed.

I'm looking to the future. In the spirit of adventure, my wife and I may eventually live full time out of my next Astro. We seem to be happiest when we're exploring our world with no set itinerary. With that plan, I'm going to build up a 2003-2005 AWD for overland travel.
