Hi Bullet

Nice Van!!!
I actually have the exact same model and am very pleased with it so far.
Check out Blue Gnu in members rides.

How does your free standing tank work? is it connected to the main tank?

Thanks guys,
Tristan-The free standing tank is a stainless box that fits between the wheel arches on the back ,the tank is not connected to the main tank, I have a electrical pump and hose with which I transfer fuel to the main tank.I don't drive around with the tank( only put it on when needed for long trips)

Niel-Bullet het n ekstra bladveer aan elke kant in en die vere is "gecurve"Die vorige eienaar het dit laat doen,Vandaar die ekstra hoogte maar die bakkie se suspensie is bietjie hard, ek wil as my skip inkom kyk na n OME suspensie

Have any of you guys done a wildcat conversion on the branches I am looking at that option but have heard that you loose power on inclines,is this true?
