Thanks. I also just noticed my rear bumpers are slightly different from all the rest i can find online. The passenger side hoop is the same as the driver side on mine. The military speced them that way i guess. Both sides match. Heres your chance to have a unique special order rear bumper.
The brakes wont be blocked. The license plate would be minimally blocked or simply moved. I just realized the is one more difference. There are bottom hoops vertical to the bumper. It would be easy to mount whatever you wanted on this setup. Check out the new added pics in my album. Can someone post them here?
The enhancements include three hinges instead of two on ther rear swing outs. They were having issues with sagging. The bolts were changed to eliminate ovaling out on the holes. The spare tire mounting plate became adjustable to accomodate more tire sizes. The latching mechanisms have been improved. That's what I have learned so far. oclv
Maybe these are the new type. I'm adding another pic to the site. This locking bracket at the bottom should prevent sagging in itself. Its a pretty neat design enhancement. Its strange there web sight doesnt show or say anything about this.
Sandman, here is a nice writeup of a full van conversion by Chris at U-Joint clothing. Click on the link and then click on the Vanaconda link on the left side of the page.
Thanks for the link. Thats one sweet van. Criss, If your reading this how soon till you have more kits ready? Has anyone done this with coils? I may be getting a full coil setup from a low mileage 05 superduty for a real good price. I'm still weighing my options. Does quigly sell brackets ect?
