All the time haha! I post my plate online with no worries, but didn't want to post someone else's plate. People get nervous about that - never understood that.

Hey, did you get my PM about the Fox re-valving?

Well, that would explain it then! He was wrenching on a BMW GS when I walked up and asked him if that was his van.

Small world.

I have a 1150gsa so I figured I can talk smack haha

and yes pretty good idea on reinforcement I will do that for my rear after I build the spare tire carrier ( whenever that happens) I would say you don't need it to much of it unless you are planing on doing some hardcore wheeling

Now I remember he also mentioned that he would reinforce just for a rear tire carrier, not to mention towing/pulling.

I won't be doing any hardcore wheeling. In fact, I won't be doing anything until I get my van shipped out here from TX, get the lift kit installed (thanks again mikracer), and get new wheels and tires. It's a bit of a process, but at least it's in process.

I haven't pulled the trigger on this yet, but I do like them. I'd like to see some more pics of these on vans before I commit.

I strongly considered building my own bumpers since I have access to a cnc plasma table and a large metal brake. But the price on these pretty much beats what I value the amount of time I'd spend doing it from scratch.
