Hey Guys,

New owner of a 2016 white LWB XLT wagon.  Purchased it used with 14,000 miles for $16,000.  Guess it was a rental car for 11 months.

This is what I have on my list for modification first:

  • Add a hitch mount and a bike rack, considering the Rocky Mount Backstage for the swing away feature.
  • Add rails and a roof rack for carrying lumber and possibly a ski rack
  • Cutting an Ikea foam mattress to lay over the seats.
  • Cutting a plywood, plastic, or rubber panel to protect the seats for trips to the dump and Home Depot.  Maybe also to support the foam mattress?
  • Considering a wrap or Plasti Dip, as I am not to wild about the white paint.

One issue I ran into right off the back was a loose piece of weather stripping that came off of the driver's side sliding door.  There was no corresponding strip on the passenger's door so I am wondering if it is really needed.

Hello Mr. Stay Puff, welcome aboard. :)  It looks like you've been thinking about your to do list.  Your list is a good start!  These TC's get in your blood pretty quick.  Then there will be list 2 and list 3 etc.  :whistling:  There are a lot of bikers here so your in good company.  It sounds like your planning a very functional van for work and play.  :play:  Keep us posted regarding your progress.  :lurk:
