A big congrats on the retirement Marc. That is really good news. I too am going the Sprinter route, I've put the Hawk up for sale and have been checking dealers in my area. Lighthawk, I know how the many projects goes, I can't sell the truck until I finish them. Hope to see you on the road soon.

Cool beans, MIke!

Good luck with sale of your Hawk.

 

I need more Sprinter inspiration!

 

And yes, Marc get's kudos for jumping off the J.O.B. merry-go-round.

Someday, we'll get there.

My Sprinter has become my daily driver with graphics advertising my business. I did just install a U-line shelving unit. I've also insulated and installed windows and a fan.

We've decided to keep the Tundra/Hawk, and wait to build out the 2016 4x4 Sprinter for now. I'm running seven projects right now and don't have the time.

However, I'm interested in outsourcing expensive upgrades that can improve the ride. I'm still using stock factory Coopers for rubber. I know I'll want to upgrade suspension.

These guys are local to me in San Diego and have a stellar reputation.

Thanks 2tallDA!
I have been in touch with Agile, and they are responsive and professional. My (mental) wheels are still spinning.

What turned me away from Agile were 3 factors. No longer would you have Stock suspension geometry, the need to run front wheel

spacers, and the way the coil is seated just doesn't look right to me. On top of that, you will be adding stress to other front end components by running the spacers. Just my honest opinion.
