Was that strictly highway MPG? Average speed? I've seen as high as 36, but that is when I am driving average 45 mph. At 70 loaded with the AC on, I get somewhere between 27 and 29 mpg. 33 At highway speeds on a loaded vanagon is very good mileage.

Aidan has completed most of that conversion with very little help from me! There should be a video soon!

So cool!

Looks great in the bay and sounds fantastic!

love seeing it crawl around in the mud.

I'm curious about details on the gearing ('gears' upgrades, ratios, and cruising rpms), and I'll wait for the miles to pile on so the trans robustness can be evaluated.

Applause
