just spent 3 days in Camper creek watershed area of southern Vancouver Island. Was supposed to be full of exploration, but turned out to be more of a "sitting around drinking and reading in the sun" event.
Van ran fine, but I'm wanting to lift the front of van a bit. It was originally a tintop syncro but I westy-fied it and I'm becoming more and more displeased with the soft front end. I need a little (1") lift up front and probably  stiffer spring rate. Anyway, pics and text here:
