New shocks qualified it for modified but 4x4 conversion didn't? That sounds a bit odd.

Those look just like my older framed CRL's on my 95 van, but it's a 2014 van. Weird. Does CRL still make the framed type as well as the frameless?

It's a WV thang....People around here don't seem to know WHAT to make of HellBetty (blackV10)!

I have heard there is exactly ONE other 4x4 van in my area, except its really an RB ford van body put onto a 4x4 truck chassis and owned by an hvac contractor

Finally got my stereo back. Alpine couldn't fix it so they gave me a reman unit w the latest firmware and map updates. Not a bad deal considering it was 2 years out of warranty and 3 years old for the price of a repair. Front camera was wired in as well as the e-brake dongle. Hardest part was getting the instrument cluster trim back in, surprised I didn't break it. Finally, tunes.

Got the rig off the blocks I used to raise it six inches so I could work under it. While I was under there I replaced the batteries, installed an ARB compressor and a compressed air outlet on the rear bumper.

Awesome! Glad to hear your getting everything smoothed out.

So who snitched about the van?! Ha ha, how does the government find such things out anyway?

Have photos but no time to write up the install. Being retired is a drag, there is so much to do . Needed the air in before six days on the eastern Oregon backroads. Maybe we can get together the first week in October and I can show it to you.
