Wayne, lets see your sway bar set-up. I’ve been wanting to put a front sway bar on mine…but I think it’ll hit the beam/chassis when fully unloaded. Looking at a vanagon type design maybe.

I will post some photos up tonight. Don’t really have anything on my phone other than this one of the rear.

I used the Empi 7/8” front bar for splitty, used the urethane mount that came with it coupled with a slightly modified bug sway bar band clamp and a couple u bolts from the hardware store for the end clamps. On the rear I used the Empi 3/4” bug swing axle sway bar kit. Welded a couple plates for the center mounting. Will post up some pics tonight if it helps to make sense.

Hell yeah. I’m getting excited for this. Looking forward to another Lin tour. Maybe we can convince Lin to do an over-nighter?…I mean he had that awesome baywindow camper now. I say we meet up Friday, then take off Saturday morning with Lin to go find an awesome hidden camp spot.

I’d be down for that

So… another road trip, another thought on things… I love my raised beam.. love it!!! Not one rub whole trip!!! But, with all this extra front suspension travel, the leaning in the turns is possibly worse…. so I am back to thinking those bilsteins might just be the ticket!!!! I do like the soft ride, but not all the chassis roll. Love my 3.44 r/p. Love my 2332.. I see no reason to build any other combo unless you just don’t want the best combo, prefer going slow and like being under powered.

after the first drive in my bus after adding adjusters and dropping the cradle, the body roll was shitty. I then added front/rear sway bars and damn, what a huge difference. Im also thinking about Bilsteins as the shocks on mine may be at the end of their stroke and I don’t wanna pop a shock mount off.

Looks great! Short work of it to. Like Rusty said, an “I’m doing this thread” instead of; “I’m thinking of doing this thread”.

thanks, lots of planning and research (about 2 years) made for a fairly quick execution.

This is the first stop on the trip I’ve been planning with Derek from Utah for a 3 day cruise/camping trip to Utah’s west desert. I hope you all come! May 17-19. Going to see cool old mining stuff, a hobbit house, hot springs, lots of open space, not a lot of people or gas. Lots of fun!  </span>

im looking forward to this

I’m thinking there are better places to camp than in the sand lot….

i was looking into a trip down there last fall and from what I remember, the area around Gemini bridge was BLM land and from what I hear you can camp anywhere on blm land within 500 feet or something of the access roads…however we Ended up not going and went up to boulder Utah and Bryce Canyon instead

Great progress! Are you trying to get it driving by a certain show/camp out?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>we drive the shit out of our bus and it’s killin me having it down. Want to have it going again sooner than later, but the next camping trip will more than likely be the Ottinger camp out.</p>
