MattCook Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Long time prowler, just joined. I (obviously) have Transit Connect. I'm from Alaska and I love my TC, I used to have a H1 and a C32 AMG, both where cool, but this van has a look like nothing else has, it's different. I'm one of the very, very few TC owners in the State, there are only something like 3-4 Connects including mine on the entire Peninsula. I will be modding my TC as I can find parts, I just ordered a ECU remap thingy at like 1300 AK time. I have a Aries Automotive, Inc pedestrian collector up front and some HID lights. Alpine stereo inside. I'm looking for some Carbon Fiber as I wish to redo alotta-buncha of the trim and paneling on the interior. I might put pics up depending on how crappy my internet connection is at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncranchero Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Welcome ! What the heck is a "a Aries Automotive, Inc pedestrian collector" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCook Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) See attached image. I've been looking for a 'roo bar or "Five Column Insurance Company" for some time and Aries is the only people State side dealing them. We call them "pedestrian collectors" where I trained, Moyock, NC at U.S. Training Center. We put them on the front of Suburbans and in the Middle East you'll be doing 130 mph through crowded towns, and you speed in close proximity to pedestrians, so, it's a "pedestrian collector!" In Australia they are 'roo bars and Five Column Insurance Companies. http://www.ariesautomotive.com/applications/commercial.html /Edit Picture uploader doesn't work, so no picture.

ncranchero Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Oh that IS nice and the back bar also !! The company I work for is a distributor for Setina & GoRhino police push bars. I'm going to show this to the bossman! :happy feet: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCook Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 I really liked the back bar as well, but I need as much clearance on both ends of the van. I'm sure I'll end up adding it at some point in time… If I'm going to ram through a roadblock, it'd most likely be with the front!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
