What Have You Done To Your Van Today?

[Skyliner33]

One rear lowering spring, as it was to hot, and a pain in the butt to get the wishbone down to fit it in.

Any tips for when I attempt the other side later on?

Load of strong zip ties on the spring when the weight of the van is compressing it. Jack up and release the shock and the spring will fall out.

Disconnect the shock bolt on both sides so the arb isn't holding it up.

Made a couple of storage boxes for under the rear bench of my Kombi. Just awaiting some carpet to finish them off.

Hard wired my dash cam!

Which one have you fitted?

I didn’t manage to run my wire to the rear camera before my pop top conversion… now I’m thinking it’s gonna be a ball ache.

I bought one of these : Dash Cam WiFi Full HD 1080P Car Dash Camera Recorder, Dashcam for Cars with SD Card, Night Vision, 170° Wide Angle, WDR, Loop Recording, G-sensor, Parking Monitor, Motion Detection : Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo and a hardwiring kit. It works well, looks good and tucks out of the way behind the rear view mirror.

Maxton front splitter fitted

 

[Daffy]

I couldn’t bring myself to spend almost £100 on a Fiamma skirt so decided to have a go and make an awning skirt to keep the cold out and the dog in, now it’s so hot we want the cold in...

it probably cost me £30 as I had to get everything from scratch but I’m well chuffed.

 

[S700]

Fitted some vanshades
Lower ply panels to refit tomorrow.
And a 160w solar panel and MPPT.

Think I’m going to order some SoLows too.
