Very nice setup!! Can please share your experience with the reika wheels , any stability issues and are you happy with them so far? Also where did you get those fender flares? I have the same dully van and I’ve been thinking about getting them. Thanks
@thebatlwgn
@thebatlwgn 13 дней назад
Thank you! No issues with the wheels yet. Love them so far! And the fenders are from XBull and they are not worth the money. They’re nice but don’t offer much width.

I have a 2004 model...well built...a lovely vehicle...standard driver experience...they were just starting to bring in the computerised stuff...like the digital gear lever, which has no feeling at all...just feels dead, but at least it has been reliable. I wouldn't buy one of these models for quids. It doesn't seem to even HAVE a gear lever..!!!
@johnminichielli8957

You aren't going far off road with that short wheelbase and huge overhang. I doubt if it will handle well on the road either. RVs need a minimum of 55% length to the overall wheelbase to be safe on the road.

I think the window additions help improve the overall look, but with so many windows it looks like a passenger van. I probably would not have added windows to the rear section. It definitely is an improvement overall.
