    Put Rancho RS5000X shocks on the Jeep, replaced the bushings on the seat rollers (they were so far gone I almost had "rocking chairs"), and added some foot pegs for when I go doorless (most of the time).

    Considering a 2.5-3" spring replacement for the 2.25" BB I currently have installed. I don't want to go any taller than that but I believe it will smooth out the ride even more if I get the right coils. Looking at options, right now either OME, RE, JKS, Metalcloak, Rusty's, Zone, Savvy or BDS are considerations. Price will be a big determining factor...
    My Metalcloak springs for the LJ arrived last Friday. Got the 3.5” springs. Read lots of good thing about them over the years. Not many progressive rate springs out there. Hopefully they go in soon!

    The motovan is getting closer to being done. Got the Beast Rack installed. This is a very solid rack, holds the bike very well, super solid. I recommend these if you have a need.

    Very simple to put in and take out. It uses the existing D-rings on the floor as anchor points.

    My helper inspecting all my work. I think she's OK with it.

    Will be installing an extra fuse box in the cargo compartment for 12 volt accessories later today I hope. Then I can install the LED strip lights back there. I'll post pics of that when I'm done.

    I think I've reached a stopping point with the Motovan for now. Yesterday I added a six circuit fuse box from Amazon for accessory expansion, LED lights from Amazon and a toggle switch mounted on the rear pillar so they can be turned on from the rear of the van. Also added a shower curtain behind the cab area to keep most of the A/C up front.

    On/Off toggle switch from Auto Zone controls new LED lights. And sweat stains that need to be cleaned off the liners. Probably sweated out about 10 gallons in there over the last few weeks.

    So I think I'm done for now unless anyone here sees something glaring I didn't do or left out.

    My goal was to keep it fairly simple but very functional for taking the bike over a long distance and camping out in it. Now I don't need to worry so much about bad weather.
