T.Low is the man. Contributors like Tom make this board worth being a member of. The write ups, adventures and pics are always awesome! He gets my vote for van of the month!
Can't wait for more pics of this trip!

Hah, you guys are a blast. Everything I do with my van is a direct result from the ideas I've gotten from ASV. From the very first jaw dropping pics of Dean and Blazers 4-5" lifted Astros, and all the incredible info I've received from the site and the meeting the Vancouver guys in person
Here's one of about 12 pics on the camera at the moment. Don't worry (or worry a lot!) there are two more camera memory sticks filled up that are still in the van. Plus, all the rigs were taking pics of each other, so there will be a couple of write ups on various forums, and probably a thousand pics for me to choose from. There were ten rigs total.
Sunday evening the group split up. We drove alone and camped in Leslie Gultch, then Monday drove Succor Creek out about 30 miles to ...some town. This is overlooking Succor Creek.
ARB also has an awning, but I've not seen nor checked it out yet.
More later.

T.Low where / how you get your antenna out for the CB?
Man ... I like that cover, but $700 eeps I am poor as it is or rather need to spend the money somewhere else. But I would like to have that. Normally I use a tarp :p
You get your front tow hooks yet? I need to find time to cut holes in bumper cover than weld on the hooks.
Mud? What's that!? Eaton + 4.11 rocking right through

That may be that most of the work is custom fit. I will see if I can get around to them this weekend but it is a tight fit.

My awning is a "Carefree" that Thule used to source and sell. They are very pricey if bought new, as are Fiamma's. Around $700.
For those interested in the Fiamma awnings,check out

Do a search for Fiamma,these awnings are made in Italy and very well made & designed.I love mine!
I'll post some pics of mine later this week,haven't put my rack on this season yet. Looks like there going for around $400. at RacknRoad.
