Thanks for your help! I have these on order (Part number 5TABB) http://www.svcustoms.com/i-6233118-aries-offroad-5tabb-aluminum-light-mounting-tab.html As well as the stubby Aries pushbar. http://www.svcustoms.com/i-6303880-aries-offroad-1113001-push-bar.html Now just need to decide on some lights....

Thanks for adding the Aires bumper. It looks good and mounts to all the factory points (Perfect). However, It doesn't look like there are any mounting points for driving lights. Have you added lights to yours? This seems like the only solution for mounting lights on the Aires bar:

Mission 3- Operation Road Less Traveled. My battle with creating a Lifted Ford Transit. When I purchased the van I knew lifting the Transit would be difficult. Many people lower their Transit, which looks great, but I've been down that road before; I decided to take the road less traveled. I previously had a Subaru that was lowered, making it difficult to go on road trips and off road. The Transit only has and inch less ground clearance then a Ranger See Transit vs. Ranger. So I figured a 1inch lift wouldn't be too extreme. I decided to start with the front to see if I could level out the front and rear end of the vehicle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were three options that could work. 1) Strut spacers, AKA Saggy Butt spacers in the Subaru community. A spacer is placed on top of the strut tophat raising the vehicle STATUS:ABANDONED 2) Spring Spacers A spacer is placed on top of the spring raising the vehicle STATUS:NO APPLICATION SPECIFIC, PART MEASUREMENTS TAKEN 3) Coilovers or Coilover Sleeves Such as Ground Control STATUS: EXPENSIVE AND NO APPLICATION SPECIFIC PART May explore an à la carte kit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before shots: (Front) 7" clearance on front bumper 3.5" of fender / wheel gap After shots: (Tires) 8" clearance on front bumper ( +1") 2.75" of fender / wheel gap (-.5") First Transit Connect with All Terrians? 205 / 70 R15 Yokohama Geolander A /T installed on the Transit Connect I'll keep this forum updated on the progress of Operation: Adventure Transit.

Mission 2- Operation Rolling Thunder. Driving through Palm Springs on the way to Joshua Tree I noticed that having two speakers wasn't ideal for road tripping. The aftermarket system that was installed in the car was terrible, so an upgrade was in order. I took my transit over to Best Buy before Christmas break to have my friend install a system and make a custom box that wouldn't compromise the utility of my new toy. Kicker DX500 AMP Installed where the 3rd row windows would be. Kicker COMP 10" subwoofer Tucked out of the way in a custom sub-box. Kicker KS693 Speakers Mounted in the back doors. Pioneer Headunit Finished I'll keep this forum updated on the progress of Operation: Adventure Transit.

I'm going to attempt to make some strut spacers to make about 25mm of lift up front. Update- St focus spring distance kit for 20mm of front lift With these 205 75 r15 General Grabber AT
