Hell yeah, new headliner is definitely in the works right after the new year!.. looking into the complete interior. Im a sucker for plaid and the new TMI sets are pretty cool. I wonder if it matches well with the headliner.  Also I think Franz said once that my seat is incorrect, so i would probably correct that moving forward as well….

Happy Holidays You guys!  Look forward to seeing you after new years!

Considering making some changes to my bus.  Thinking about raising it some but i like the straight axle kit and transmission i am currently running.  i guess i am curious how high i could raise the rear with a straight axle…was considering the addition of disc brakes up front to make up for the 2 in narrowed beam..  thoughts?? Am i crazy?  Pics??  If I go up very much i may have to give up the Roof rack in order to get in the garage.  thanks

X2!  Run a taller tire if you want to try an pick up a little more ground clearance.

Alright, Alright…..I think I may just be having commitment issues.  I NEED to get a steering box raise, but before I dedicate myself to actually cutting on my bus,  I have been thinking if it would just be easier all around to raise it?  However this also comes with another conundrum.  If I raise too much I would have to lose that  sweet rack…Argghh! Fat guy with a bus problems! haha

Steering box raise is easy enough 👍🏻👍🏻

I think you gotta leave that one just where it sits, it looks tooooo good although like me with my single cab it would be nice to enter/ exit parking lots without puckering my ass every time…. even with my steering box raise!
