How about WeCO. West Camp Out!
I like the second Syncro video best. There are some great Syncro videos on YouTube. Really makes them appealing... but then I remember the weak parts, limited availablity and price!

Yeah, I've been thinking about how fast the Vancouver crew can do a V8 swap...we could all convoy over the mountain pass in our vans and hit a campsite near there...Cobra wrote:someone need to go down there and give him some encouragement

Better plan on staying awhile. I think the wiring is is going to be a real nightmare.....
As stated before, I have dedicated today... at least most of it... to working on the van. I should probably clarify though that I will have to spend some of that time digging out my van. My dad has a habit of stacking stuff in front of it and although I cleared it all out about a month ago, I see he's got more stuff piled up again. (But who can bitch? He's been kind enough to let my van park there for 2+ years!)
I expect I'll have an update tonight or tomorrow.

Today was one of disappointment... I'll explain later in a different thread.
