Re: Large Family Sportsmobile

Yea, a "Transformer" would have been the way to go. But, I was lusting after the 6.0L at the time and I couldn't order a 12 passenger van with the 6.0L...

Just got back from a 4,500 mile round trip out east and back. Had some opportunities to get the van dirty both on dirt roads and mud. Spent some time with 4x4 engaged in both conditions.

Yes. They can be positioned anywhere along the track.

Yup, seats pop out. Interesting point is the floor will be raised to be flush with the brackets.

They removed the box, put in a standard Airaid cold air air filter, and a custom "box" to separate it from the engine. I'll try to snap a picture if/when I swing by SMB to check on progress.
