Looks like a trend is starting. I'm too susceptible to this kind of stuff. I think it's time to delete this thread from my subscriptions... it's bad enough I'm coveting your new XC-W 500

Why not just use Moto Cinch:

walkingbear · 03-19-2012, 08:11 PM

Just added a removable chock.. just a simple 3 x 6 plate holding the
the chock.

Interesting fact. The passenger Sprinters has a plastic polycore floor.. not wood
like in the cargo vans. Had to be creative in mounting to the floor.
2012 12 passenger van .. with the chock in .. I have 92 inches of floor space to
the rear doors

Paul! Next time stick around for another 5 minutes before you leave! I passed you on the street in front of our place! (I was the one giving you the weird look in the Liberty)

Congrats on that beauty of a Sprinter!

zgfiredude · 03-20-2012, 08:43 PM

Well, Geek, we haven't met yet, but a hearty HBD to you!

Geek · 03-21-2012, 07:10 AM

Thanks

Tried out the 8020 wheel chock yesterday while getting the bike plated. Didn't work very well.. a bit too fiddly.

I'm going to incorporate the pitposse.

Did succeed in the getting the XCW street legal though

Happy Birthday

I was only going to stay 1/2 an hour but then we got carried away with future plans and grand visions of what our vans were going to turn out to be. Glad Ed had enough light left to finish the 500.

I wanted to hear your stereo mate.. your installation is

btcn · 03-21-2012, 11:52 AM

Man, I LOVE your van! That things kickass! I always like them, but they was just to pricey.

You know what I wanna do one day, is get me one of them there cube vans [like the u haul ones], used and cheap, and make it cool in the back like that, like a cheap RV sort of but customized!

But I's gonna try and read this thread, it'll obviously take me quite a while but nice!

These wheel chocks are working out well and just pop the center pull up and remove.
