I want those composite headlights for my van!

I was thinking of getting a wrap done on mine, have you thought about that?

Atom smasher, coal burner, oil crusher, what ever you call it the Dmax hauls *** and gets great MPG doing it.


Hood stack FTW!!!!!!
I've thought about a wrap, it wouldn't be a bad idea but to me you can always tell the difference between a paint job and a wrap. Kinda screems cheap to me. I was thinking about maybe wrapping it and then putting a coat of clear on it to at least make it look like a paint job...I dunno, it's not gonna be for a while.

The plan is to meet at a restaurant and by the time they get to see the Man-Van they will be too drunk to realize what I'm driving.

And to be "honest"... the Man-van cherry has already been popped!

Rides about as good as you'd expect from a HD chassis except with the interior liner panels pulled out of it, it rattles and squeaks a little bit. You can tell that it craves more weight though, like it's too light on it's feet and wants some heavy equipment inside of it. So I think I'm gonna remove the overload spring. Aside from that it's plenty comfortable and very easy as a DD.
Only real complaint is the visibility is a little difficult to adjust to being that it's a cargo van.
