I'm sure. I had a serious gut check moment before I cut the underfloor storage hole. But at least that one I could just weld back in. The small wins add up!!

More just anxious I guess. I want a 4wd van bad. From what I understand it's the best system for what I want. I always get amped up before something big. Van goes down in less than 2 weeks.
