^^^thank you and lol, ya i paid more than 6500, but 10k less than i found anywhere else. so yes, good point, Im very happy with the purchase. as are all my friends, hahaha.
a few more updates.
we had a trip planned to the teton pass for a few days of riding. i volenteered the van for the journey as we had 9 people wanting to go and only wanted to take one vehicle. only condition was i needed help putting it together to roll in. had help from a few friends and this took us 4-5 nights after work to complete.
first off was places for passengers, so we installed 3-3 person seats in the rear. they are a quick release system. also installed a table from a wrecked rv and used trailmaps and coat tickets from all the resorts ive been too through the years for decorations. figured we can use it as a partybus till we have enough saved up for the poptop.
under the table is a 6 place power strip attached to a 2300 watt power inverter (4600 peak). so there was plenty of power for peoples phone chargers and a nice (borrowed, lol) 23" flatscreen (not pictured) that was on the table for the rear passengers with a rca from a front 7" screen for front passengers setup for the trip. we also installed a small system. a pioneer deck i got from a member of our local motorsports forum for 30 bucks, some old dvc 8's and an old lanzar amp i removed from a car years ago that was just laying around. the dvd player was tied into the stereo via the aux imput. for what i have into the system, it sounded pretty decent.
a map of the teton pass where we ride signed by all 31 people that showed for the reunion.
we removed emergency lights and ladder rack in an attempt to save some mpg's and built a 12 place snowboard rack off the hitch receiver.
closeup of the rack. it also held 2 coolers and a good sized bin, we just took them off while we were riding. yes thats a monoski, lol.
a buddy offered his wheels and tires for the trip since mine are spent. so we were rolling on 35" bfg all terrains. they are a touch too big and did a little grinding on the bumper, but no damage was done to either.
we left town on friday morning at 7am and got to driggs by 1:30. unloaded the van, geared up, and hit the pass by 3pm. rode till dark and went back to the cabin (pictured above, sleeps 15) to make dinner and sit in the hot tub. rode, all day saturday and sunday as well. got up early on monday to meet a good friend that lives in driggs up on the pass to make some runs before we had to leave. stopped in if at fiesta ole for a quick lunch and made it home by 8pm.
we got great weather too. first 2 days were bluebird, then sat night we got 6-8". and another few inchs sunday night. pretty much had our usual runs all to ourselves all 4 days. we freaking wrecked the mtn, lol. Im waiting for pix and vids to be posted by everyone and ill pick the goods and post them up asap.
