  8. Add U-Bolt to storage area for locking up laptops
  9. Upgrade rims and tires to 15″ HydroEdge
  10. Install mud flaps

This summer the van is going in to a company called GoWesty to get a rebuilt engine, new cooling system front to back and new exhaust components.

Lots of stuff, but all designed to make our lives in the van more pleasant.

Pictures will follow in future posts.
