My swimmers are strong

 

oof

 

That's exactly where my fj springs got me

 

I've been saying this for years

 

Anyone that says otherwise is just wrong. Can't argue against the taste of real cane sugar.
and people that think diet soda tastes better than regular aren't trustworthy

 

Diet

 

Fuckin posers...



I was doing that shit before it was cool

 

Way way easier to find a shop that will work on a promaster and be able to fix it compared to the sprinter vans.


I rocked a promaster when I worked as a sub contractor for dish network, they're not that bad at all

 

I have a transit for work and love it way more then the chevy express. Never been in a pro master

 

Interesting, I had 285/70/17s on my 4 runner and with just a one inch strut spacer cleared them fine even with stock bumps at full compression

 

@Empty_Lord

COD?

 

I don't like that idea because frames flex, by solid mounting you're making it a structural member I just see a bunch of stress put on the engine and trans that shouldn't be there

 

Oregon brand makes a whole bunch of aftermarket parts for a whole mess of brands. Take your bar into a small engine shop and ask for the oregon parts book (any dealer gets a new one for free every year) under the chainsaw section they'll have 1:1 scale shadows of bar mount styles. Match yours up and it'll give you my guess is it's gunna be a D176 style.

That D176 becomes the last part of the Oregon p/n the first 2 digits are the length .. I'm also gonna go out on a limb and say it's a 3/8 .050 chain


If you're cutting through cottonwood, those are tough sumbiches .. square cut chain is a little more expensive (some shops like the one I ran sold it at the same price but would only sell it to the person that knew to request it i.e. contractors) but that stuff RIPS through dense wood.. it'll buck a lil worse though so be careful

 

I've run the express from the early 2000s for awhile, it was meh compared to all the econolines I was used to.. i haven't had the luxury of running in the newer transits though


But I love all ford vans so much I follow them in europe.. they have a cult following in Britain. Have since the 70s, hell they race sooped up transits around the Nuremberg

They both have polyurethane bushings. They're just called "solid" mounts.

 

That makes me feel better, to be fair I was imagining the legit solid mounts that they put on drag cars and stuff

 

I hear really good things about the new nissans, wish my company would get some. But i do love the space in my transit, it also rides better then the express.

 

Speaking of germans and vans, this was a fun read.
