  1. Does anybody have suggestions on an exhaust, intake combination? Also any quality tuners in the TN/GA/AL area?
  2. 2014 NV Passanger SL - combined driving average of approximately 12MPG over approximately 10 fill ups. As high as 15MPG and as low as 11MPG
  3. Is anybody interested in the possibility of swapping out their matte grill and door handles for gosh awful chrome plated jobies on mine? I'm in Chattanooga TN for reference.
  4. My 2014 has it if that makes any difference
  5. Do you have pictures? I'm considering ditching the front seat as well as 99% of time in my passanger van it stays folded flat.
  6. So, I was looking around for a suitable roof system to haul the various gear and equipment we normally carry. Typically between 2-6 Stand Up Paddleboards, 2-6 Bikes, Solar panel mounting points... the list goes on. I looked at SEVERAL custom options before finally convincing the local outfitter to let me play around with their parts bins. What I found was rather unexpected: Thule didn't come close with their mounting equipment. Sad, because I love the look of their equipment. Yakima actually had a system that was a DIRECT BOLT ON for the factory supplied mounting points! Now when I say direct bolt on I mean it does take a little patience but after you get the hang of it they fly on. Back mounts were far easier to fit in than front ones due to the grooves in the roof and the ability to pinch the bolt by hand under the screw. http://www.yakima.com/shop/racksystems/permanent-installation/landing-pad-1 These fit perfectly! I choose this over the other options for several reasons. They were the most perfectly sized to match the factory mounting points. The bolts they come with were the shortest and therefore the best choice for the limited space below the factory mounting points. They also didn't have all that ancillary rubberized matting which was unnecessary again because of the "off the roof" status of the factory mounting points. From there just get the control towers and you’re in business! http://www.yakima.com/shop/racksystems/permanent-installation/control-tower I went with the 86" bars to start but it turns out the end caps and pieces like the boat loader arm don't work with that size. I've since gone down to the 78" bars. Awesome results! Remember the mounts are fixed and I don't think you could get anything less than the 66" bars on there. MAYBE the 58" bars but it would be close. I got 4 bars and the Mega warrior rack with extensions. I will be getting a spare tire mount, high lift jack, and light mounting brackets down the road. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.
  7. Please delete - my computer froze up and it got posted 2x
  8. Hello, I've been admiring this van for some time now and finally pulled the trigger. For our Small Businesses it will work great for transportation of people and gear. Now I'm just trying to figure out how to tone down the chrome. Then perhaps some front and rear bumpers and a nice solid roof rack. Any thoughts?
