Wow. That hurts! Unfortunately I just don't think I've got the skills to pull off a TTB, or maybe not even a straight axle, but I'm thinking of trying it. I heard about this guy who has a kit for them? I've been meaning to learn more about it. Anyway, without 50 calls to Ramsey, doing my own TTB? I just don't think I could swing it.

Eric,

I have seen his kit on Josh's tan hotdog. It is really slick.

Nice find! Mine was also at a dealership that they bought it from and had been traded back in for a truck. Not sure I would go back to that dealer now but I did get a decent deal so it's whatever. It's funny you say you couldn't go without a van because I think about my life without a van and it just doesn't exist anymore as much as my wife sometimes wish "the project" would disappear.

I'm excited to see how this goes!
