When I changed my 1986 Syncro to diesel, I went to the Health Department first to get it checked out and so they cold give me a piece of paper to give to the DMV that says I'm now diesel. I even think I went back and forth a couple times because neither place knew what to do with it. They had...

After this last weekends trip in Moab, someone had a vanagon get a coolant hose stuck on a rock and yank it off, dumping coolant all over slickrock. They were able to cover it with sand to keep desert animals from licking it, but it seems there are better ways to clean it up. I've seen some...

$300? I mean, I'll go lower, but really don't want to. One of these costs $160...

I'd be interested in two if someone wants the others?

Still have them... $400?

Sigh, these would be pretty awesome on a syncro... Nice to know they can be home built. Maybe someday when I have extra everything needed!

I have a set of 4, 8" (22 inch eye to eye) reservoir shocks from FOA. I've been running them in the rear for a while but decided the control arms in the front will need to be modified too much so I'm going to switch to a non reservoir, custom valved Bilstein 6100 in front and custom valved...

I just bought the specific Engel hardwire cable that has their special inline fuse in a holder. http://www.beveragefactory.com/refrigeration/refrigeration/portable/DC+Hard-Wire.shtml?CAWELAID=1372126786&catargetid=1553583370&cadevice=c&cagpspn=pla&gclid=COmzmqHOwrwCFRNp7AodPHgAGg Let me know if...

I'd be interested in learning more as well!

Guess I'm late to the party, but I'll share my experience with registering a diesel conversion. Really wasn't a big deal! BUT my syncro is 1986 and that year in with diesel engines doesn't require emissions. A 2008 will require a full OBDII conversion from a 2008 or newer diesel. That means all...

I am planning on building a new front bumper and love the look and utility of a traditional Aussie roo bar, very similar to this: Now the vanagon is a fairly safe vehicle considering you are sitting inches away from the front of the vehicle...

I'm looking for someone to bend heavy stuff too but might just end up with a harbor freight press and something like this: http://www.swagoffroad.com/20-TON-Press-Brake-DIY-Builder-Kit_p_40.html It's overkill for what I want to build right now, but never know when I might want something wider...

The pamphlet they hand out at the gate does say: "It is unlawful to mutilate or deface any natural or constructed feature or structure. Please help keep out parks beautiful." And the only legislative piece I could find on the subject was related to trespassing...

I've been wearing it on the tire to try to get it to soften up a little bit, but I'm concerned with someone stealing it. Because it's awesome... Is this something I should be worried about? I could easily build something and sew an extra strap to it and put a bolt with a nylock nut or travel...

So I bought a sheet of this at NPS because that was the cheapest way to get some of these for myself and I can make a couple more sets, maybe three... They will be 48" long and I can cut it these widths, 12", 13.5" and maybe one set of 15" wide? I can measure if anyone is actually interested...

Want/need, it's all the same... Bed is on the bottom, seat folds out just like stock. Cabinets block the left rear window so it could be replaced with aluminum or something lighter than glass. I would add something behind the passenger seat (currently my Engle MT35 sits there), a table that...

Check out the de-sta-co latches out at Marshalls hardware on California Ave and just West of I-215 (nearly around the corner from NPS). They have a huge selection of hardware too and can browse the isles. Thinking stuff like this: http://www.destaco.com/pull-action-latch-clamps.html

If you happen to have any more of the syncro I can give you a drop box link to copy into. I'm loving the ones posted! I might just have to go back again when I get my new suspension. Right now I'm basically stock height... Also how tough was that other road you drove up when I headed home...

Thanks for the tech training stuff and letting a syncro tag along!

Cool thanks guys. I'll head down there when my new shocks get here.
