Chevy & GMC Vans

This was not long after I purchased my van, with no lift and balding all season tires.

Mine are more easy exploration vids. I'll try to have someone video next time we get out to Fortune Creek trail.

There is a video on Facebook on from Badlands after the lift that a friend posted. Need to copy it to YouTube.

Exploration is game too! Anything that is off the road.

Here's a place called Moses Coulee, just East of Wenatchee, WA.

I've got a bunch more in my Picasa web albums, but I'm still trying to figure out how to embed it here.

Sorry its been a while: CRAZY lives we lead I recon.....Anyway, testing the systems from 2 years of R&D. TROUBLE handled extremely well. He could have done far more, however, the steering gear started puking from the pitman shaft seal and it was an epic journey out of there.....complete with new gear installed in Orielly's Auto Parts parking lot. Then......a valve in the pump got stuck and no pwr steering for 2 days while I tried to figure it out. It finally started working on its own, but I'm not trusting that setup anymore. I've ordered a custom box and pump from AGR http://www.agrperformance.com/.

Good examples of axle articulation and maintaining van center of gravity: =D>

Awesome vids! It's fun seeing Trouble in action.

Thanks Joe,
It was fun testing him out. The posi front/rear and straight axle did awesome!!

I try to crawl up hills as often as possible to go easy on everything. This one was too steep, too loose, and the holes were too big to crawl.

Did you leave any parts on that hill?! Sounds like something was dragging.

Knobbies on the fenders! Yeeow!

I surely do envy your close proximity to country like that! Ct. shorelines got nothing to test my rig! A couple more mods and I'm gonna have to start road trippn to see what I can see

Just a little something on a Wednesday.
