Box delete
Did that on mine a while ago but didn't refit the over axle section. It just points down before the axle.

Not really apparently, it's running 3" straight from the cat.
I've not been an onlooker while my van drives past me.

You can’t beat straight pipe :P I only notice on start up it echoes a little more off the side of the house, cannae hear it while driving, I’m thinking 3” stainless down each side split at the flexi, I’ll happily drive your van past you lol

Couple more recent additions, bug guard (not a massive fan of them but it’s part of the bigger plan), angry duck temporarily sat on the dash,

Really need to get the wellers on but need to get them painted and new tyres first.

Fitted 4 ditch finders to my wellers by hand, all that was required was a big pry bar, some washing up liquid, a bit of wood and lump hammer (to seat the bead on one side) and 2 railway sleepers to rest the tyre on while I pushed the wheel down and inflated it,

Just got to fit the spigot rings to the van and fit the wheels

These are the spigot rings,

I can weld them to the wheels like I did last time but I’m thinking of doing the Mr Airthies way of bolting them to the hub, just need to work out if that’s possible on the rear.

Surely you could have a machined set? So like a 20mm spacer that has internal pcd of ford and external of range rover, also as yours are steel the disks will just bolt to the transit and the wheels boolt on. You might need 65mm studs though?

That’s an idea, if worse comes to worse the fab shop could use them as a template, I tack welded them to the wheels last time, might get them balanced then tack weld them on again, just need to find the time.

Not updated this for a long time so a few recent jobs, re-lined the cab roof, fitted a small compressor wired to ignition on, fitted some new headlight lenses and fitted some new air horns

Looking good, I saw a huge dixy horn kit recently and thought you might like it :D

What are the roof markers? I've bought some 6 inch led roof lights. So I'm playing about with that.

Those roof marker lights I bought off dirty dog many years ago, there just a cheap set that tape cap less bulbs like the numberplate bulbs.

Hmmm a Dixie horn kit you say, might have to upgrade mine

Ran the air lines for the horns

Not sure if I like this valve here, need to figure out where to attach the other end of the cord,
IMG_2101.jpeg

Also ran coiled air lines for into the cab,

Now I can have the blow gun to dusty the dash and also switch to a tyre inflator if needed,
