i posted this some time ago.. lots of people are upgrading to the full side skirt/rocker trim body cladding kit that was on the '88 up wolfy/carats and the '90-91 GL's. if you do - DONT FORGET TO GET THE JACK!! the jacks for the vans with the full bodykit - side rocker mouldings, have SPECIAL jacks. the arm that sticks into the jack hole on the van is rounded all the way up to the hinge point - wheras the regular vanagon jacks have it partially rounded, then it goes square. if you try to use a stock jack on a van that you added the side fiberglass panels to, it wont fit into the hole, and you will: A) bust up your fiberglass, B) bend your jack hole because its not in all the way, and C) the van will most likely fall off the jack (a tad dangerous) i had this experience w/ my 84 wolfy which i added the full fiberglass skirting kit to. luckily i saw what was going to happen, and fortunately also had a bottle jack under my back seat. if i had been in a emergency situation where i needed to change a tire, away from home, i would have had to remove the fiberglass side panels just to use the jack (big pain) or have damaged the van. at any rate i may have a few of these jacks FS (limited quanity) they are from '88 up wolfy/carats or '90-'91 GL's if you need them. some people say i dont know JACK but i do :<) no comments from the peanut gallery please :) chris
