I had a guy contact me about some hubs for his Dana 44. This is increasingly common around here, and many non-Hummer guys are running the THORparts ABS hubs and H3 brake conversion brackets. Several guys are running just the brake conversion...especially on older (pre-ABS) 70s rigs. But some guys have oddball rigs and are looking for an ABS compatible solution for all kinds of vehicles. Case in point...

A solid-axle 4wd Astro van with an LS conversion! How cool is this?...

Seriously...this might be my new favorite off-road rig. I don't have much info on it other than the front axle is a Ford HP Dana 44 (DS-drop) with Chevy 6-lug outers.

that's pretty cool and pretty unique. Hopefully he went with a LQ4 or truck version of the LS engines. The torque is awesome.

If I went van I would go Express van with the Duramax/4L85E (factory option). that would be cool.
