What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[DanW81]

Been playing around with some softer ambient lighting in my old door cards prior to getting the titan black ones eventually.
Bottom door card light is the now new entry footwell lighting channels.
Door card pocket lights, on with auto dash illumination only.
Footwell on with dash illumination only.

No reflections in the screen so happy days. They are slightly dimmer in real light view.

Friday night in your 40s involves removing most of your van interior to add a couple of wires to make your MFSW work.

Just wait until you get in about the ebox to activate cruise control

I’m still not sure if my wheel will work with cruise, but I’ve pre run the wire ready to connect up once I’ve got confirmation.

Wheel needs to have CNL button on the left to work.
Sourcing the correct buttons is the most difficult part of all.
Getting your ccs wire into the correct pin in the ebox is a pita also.

This is what I have.

Fitted the Vankraft 10 degree seat bracket. Actually simple to do after watching a couple of online videos even for someone not overly competent at this sort of thing.
Approval from the wife for the increased seat comfort. New spot for the dog cage on our next trip

Interesting.
Mine is OEM and has a foldable but very steep backrest. Anyone knows if an adjustable bracket exist?

I think vankraft are the only that do both fold and alter the angle. Either 5 degree or 10.

Fitted my second attempt at an overhead locker, made from 12mm plywood and carpeted. Doesn't look too shabby and may build one to go above the rear doors.

I need some high level storage

New badge day

Had the virtual dash conversion fitted with the latest software and set up by our man Antony Charnley. Spendy, but it looks and works perfeft.

Cut down some thermal window covers for the two small fixed windows in the hightop, secured with velcro to the wall carpeting. Quite chuffed with those....

Put my new wheels on. Love the look but typically i need to tweak the suspension or i need some lower profile front tyres as they scrub out over dips and speed bumps... meh!

Old wheels are up for sale shortly

They look mighty fine, are they rubbing?

Yep. The fronts are 275/40's like the old ones were but i think the offset is different so now she doesn't like any undulating road surface. @Bigsidavies has advised to go 245/45 on the front and I think he might be on to something. Although i wonder if a lower profile will wreck the comfort. Maybe 255... meh.

The width of the wheels might be affecting it. Are the new and old different widths?

Si and I both have 245/45's on the front and 275's on the back. Works well, more responsive steering.

Saying that, what width are your new rims? Staggered?
