New user to the site. I had been thinking about getting a van for multiple reasons. One was to be able to go camping out of it. The second is to haul my motorcycles. I had seen the Crazy Dodge Van racing video recently and originally they had built their vans to haul their bikes to the track.

I have just bought the van 2 days ago. It runs strong and looks to be a good base for what I want. On to the pictures.

Motor cycle ramps and engine cover in the back. Was used as a work van for quite some time. The windows had black spray paint on them which we scraped off. [Linked Image]

5.2L Magnum V-8 [Linked Image]

Heyo!
I'm past the halfway point on my '99 Shorty Dajiban. Got a place in KS to make custom coil springs for the front. 2 inches lower with a 15% increased spring rate (a bit stiffer). Had A1 Spring in Oakland de-arch the rear leaf springs, Got a rear sway bar from the extended, fiberglass roofed RV monster 3500 and popped it in. Had to replace the catalytic converter so I upgraded to can to a Flowmaster 70 Series and enlarged the pipe to 2.5 all the way back. Got the Cooper Cobra GT's all around, shaved the stock antenna and got the most insane, bass boat glitter, metal flake paint job I could find in Oakland! Will post pics soon; get out your glasses when I do...

It is coming along slowly and a few problems I was not expecting. Rear main seal was leaking so I dropped the pan and replaced it. the left front caliper was sticking so a new set of calipers were installed. I did get the new carpet and padding installed today, I will get some pictures of that tomorrow.

I did get the new wheels and tires on, Crager Soft 8's 17".

The drop kit is in. Dakota spindles and a flip kit. I tried to install it today but was not able to get the ball joints to come apart. I didn't have my pickle fork at the shop to separate them.

Had to throw on some new exhaust since it failed the emissions part of the the annual state inspection. New high flow cat and a Magnaflow Muffler with side exit in front of the rear tire.
