What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Snakelimit]

Following a subtle suspension lift by CRS to prevent wheel rubbing with the swampers, had the 4 wheel alignment reset. Shout out to Prjkt Zero in the North West for the Hunter Alignment set up.

What gap you got now? Will need do that at and see Steve at some point after new wheels and gap it’s a bit small but no rubbing at moment

Hi, has a full camper conversion in the back, it won't be coming back out any time soon..

I think that’s the point, the full load settings assumes you will be taking the load out whereas the no load setting assumes your van is empty and it is how it will be most of the time. @BognorMotors - have I got that right?

Yes, I appreciate there are plenty of differing views on this topic and it differs with the amount of drop. I have previously had the no load set up and ended up having two blow outs on the rear and went through a few tyres... I will keep a close eye on tyre wear over the next few months. 500 mile round trip next week, so will get chance to give it a good check over. Loving the drive at the moment though...

Had it lifted up from 55 drop to 30 drop overall with different springs and adjusters... Sounds like you need similar, maybe a touch more if you are on 245/65 BFGs... Mine are 235/65 Wildpeaks. I'll measure and post picture tomorrow if it helps.

Genuine T-Roc gear knob, new gear gaitor on a manual frame

De-chromed the back, removed the silver 'TRANSPORTER' letters and replaced the VW badge with a black one. Also fitted smokey black LED rear lights. Love them, they are brilliant. Makes the back look so much different

We de-bafged ours too and replaced the badge with the black one. I much prefer the look on a white van.

Now the bench has gone I fitted the replacement seat adjuster to the passenger Captains seat. ( the original was a bodge welded job at an angle and never worked ) Now the locking pins work!



Also fitted both Vanshades and the Vanshades door storage to sliding door.





I really like the fly screen in combination with the Safari window




Now both lower sides are carpeted I can work on the roof area and also the lower ply panels
( Milan fabric due from Harrison's anytime )

 

[Baz_H]

Over the past week I fitted my Mobiframe floor, carpeted the removable panels and fitted the rear speakers. Just need to get some more wiring circuits pulled through then onto carpeting the rest

 

[Teldec]

I’d rather buy that bar with the magnets that a guy on here makes
So that your table from inside can attach to your side door.
Much less chance of paint damage
This one

knocked one of these up today, easy enough

 

[Skyliner33]

Welcome to the club. I can highly recommend it.

Nice work.
Who are you getting to do the set up?

 

[RogueOne]

Busy Weekend...

New bracket on the stealth flap, fitted a Predator 4X4 front splitter, Thule Wanderway Bike rack and white tyre paint for the Falken Wildpeaks. Starting to look like I want now:

 

[B.different]

Fitted the front end up, ready for paint yesterday. For anyone fitting a leighton bumper, instead of plastic welding the 58 tabs use 6mm star wahers and cable tie grips, its alot easier and if you need to remove them its fairly easy. Aslo made a fill in panels where the shit liners don't meet to the bumper.

Correct!

Quick test erecting my new (to me) Kampa Cross Air TG awning......
Actually very easy to put up, just need to fine tune peg and strap placements and the pump isn't quite as I expected. Great space inside and excellent quality
9/10

 

[T32Rich]

1st practice setup of new side awning, glad we did. Nearly 2hrs guessing what went where . Should be much quicker next time Didn't help with the dog getting involved, but a nice distraction to have!

Installed the wireless phone charger cradle today, 30 EUR for all the parts here in Germany from VW. I haven't put the charger bit in yet, but even without that it's better. The holder itself is rubber and is purposefully a tight fit that widens when you push the phone in so it's really snug. It can't move around and will be nice and secure when I come to install an aftermarket wireless charger module.

 

[Vinyl1210]

Washed it. Then fitted lower grille Matt black trim pieces to replace the OEM silver ones. Think I’ll stick with the upper silver, (even though I have Matt black replacements) as I think it ties in nicely with the OEM lights.
To answer any potential questions.
1. Yes can be done with bumper on.
2. Start at OUTER edge with small trim tool directly next to indicator and get it behind trim.
3. Lift trim and get bigger trim tool behind.
4. Work towards centre slowly and lever off until first clip snaps.
5. Get your fingers behind and slowly pull away from grill with one hand whilst holding grill in place either other.
6. Remove any clips stick in grille with pliers.
7. Slide edge of new trim (ONLY JUST) into recess in VW badge.
8. Gently push all clips home.
9. Admire your van. Have beer and chuck old crappy trim in the bin.

Some say on aftermarket trims the centre fitment to badge is a bit off but with method above (centre first) and THQ trims I had no bother

 

[JasonW]

Made use of the dashboard space... Just needs a little bit of 3D print post finish work then lining with felt. Huge thanks owed to Rob @ CRS for his help.

This looks achievable with my limited skill set - do you have the various part numbers please?
