Important Van Upgrade - Addressing the Crosswind Stability Issue and Cruise Ship Handling
Ойын-сауық
It's time to upgrade the suspension and eliminate the sway. Hopefully, this will improve crosswind stability and firm up the factory suspension's boat-like ride. I have an ECM programmer that will disable the Mercedes Cross Wind Assist if this suspension upgrade does not fix the horrible crosswind stability problem.
Here is a link to the kit I am installing:

I needed to do this upgrade really bad. For drivability and safety. I also came back because Miss X needed to fly back to LA on her way back to TH.
Twitch, i admire your resourcefulness, but with your bank, i would be spending time with Miss X instead of sweating and getting dirty

I like getting dirty and spinning my own wrenches. The dealer I got the Kit from wanted 1 day and 1500 USD to install it. I also like saving money.

I get it bud, nothing beats the satisfaction you get from completing a job like that, especially in that heat.
So which is more tolerable, Arizona heat or Thailand. 115-120 here in Vegas. I'd still take this dry heat rather than that humidity. Good luck with your upgrades. 👍

Dry heat for sure. Doing this work in TH would have been just as bad or worse in the hot season there.
I feel like I must be missing something. Is Twitchy now a vanlifer or a salvage rebuild vlogger

I jump onto your page from time to time Greg. Maybe you discussed it but are you going to SE Asia anytime soon or staying here in America? I gotta wait 3.5 to leave this land that I love for a better retirement abroad.

Staying in America for now. I need to set up a decent home here before I get any ideas about expat life again.
I thought you were a multimillionaire.

I cannot for the life of me see why you didn't just keep the Bronco??? Seeing as you just stay in AIRBNB monthly and hotels overnight..Can't see the point of spending over 100k on German junk Sail boat....When you had an American made FORD Bronco

Bronco was like a Ford Escort Wagon made in Cartel City, but the German Box is super expensive.

I had a Bronco SPORT ! NOT a full size BRONCO. You do understand this, right?

The Bronco had 3 cylinders and could only carry half of Twitchy’s tools!
Smart move Greg. That $4k investment will significantly improve handling. I was reckoning on $10k minimum including labour. Will you post the before and after?

I have just over 6000 miles on the stock suspension. After at least a thousand miles, I will make a follow up video comparing the new upgrades. I sure hope it was worth it !

It’s so freaking stupid hot. I just wanna wake up next winter.
