Yes. They say it is equivalent to Deaver although I don't know who manufactures it for them.

I believe the new springs are from ARB/OME.

So do they just leave the rear glass as is if they convert a passenger van? Does any of the interior build sit in front of those big windows?

Yes, the driver side rear window is partially blocked by the rear closets. The rear passenger window is not blocked.

Here are some pics from other passenger van builds.

Tapatio ,
Looking better every posting and know that you are chomping at the bit ! I know that it seems to take an eternity but it seems to me any way that your build is moving along very quickly .I ordered ours in July of 2007 and took delivery in December of that year . Be sure to keep the photos coming .

Re: Build finalized - 4/26/11 start date

Side steps are different from mine, is that the new SMB thing or are those special? Looks great.

Those are the stock passenger side steps. I want true frame mounted rock sliders but I haven't found any that I like yet.
