    Spent a couple evening pulling nearly all the interior out and adding a layer of insulation for heat/sound proofing. Still have doors and side panels to do. Amazing how much quieter it is already.

    Left the back 'seats' out for a smidge more room. Building a platform from back wall to back of seats for my puppy to lay on.

    I don't want to be Capt Obvious but could it be because of your driveway's pitch?

    Cheap spacers and blocks, 33's, poor man upgrades.
    I left my rear "seats" in but built a platform for my pups to lay/sit on. made world of difference for them during travel. yours will be better with that much more room!!!! be sure to post pics, interested to see what you decide to do, wont regret it when your done.

    Have you guys seen this storage setup? I think something like this would provide a lot of storage and give the pup something to lay on.

    I choose not to look.

    That way I can continue to always be right.

    Seems like that would take alot of courage. What do you do if you tear into the block and find that some bearing is damaged or the cams/crank is out of spec?

    It's pretty much a black box for me once you get past the valve cover gaskets LoL.

    Ya'll think I will be ok with All pro expos? I just came up on a hell of a deal. No roof top tent and I don't intend on having one. Only time I carry a lot of weight is when I go camping. All my gear and all my wood :p

    I really wanted to go with the Dakars.









    PS. Im going to have Kings :)
