Chevy explorer conversion van walkthrough

[fuentejps]

Finally everything is good on our van. lift had to be replaced and I put my mpd's back in. little advice, don't try different handcontrols after using the same kind for 20 yrs. no matter what anyone tells you, they are all VERY different.

as for this van, I absolutely love it and wish I had made the switch from cars 10 yrs ago. My good friend JohnC was right!!

super easy transfers in both seats, tons of room(easily fit, my handcycle, my chair and my wifes bike), and it is so nice transferring inside out of the elements all the time. my shoulders feel great.

ALso well worth the money to raise garage header and all that to get it in.

Hey Buddy looks great! Put a bead of clear silicone on the front edge where the metal transition plate is bolted into the floor. When the snow melts, the water will gather and create rust and rot. For what it's worth, do the other 3 sides as well.
Glad it's working out.

didn't think of that, will do this week. thx John.

andy, how did you do that???

Really nice van John. I hate to see Braun discontinue that trifold lift. I currently have one that's bulletproof. I encourage both quads and paras to set up their everyday living environments to do gravity transfers when possible. We use our power seats to transfer down from chair to van seat then down from van seat to chair and we use Transfermaster beds to do the same in and out of bed. I am T-10 for 45 years and aged 70. You only get one set of shoulders.

ramps just arent quad friendly, I could not get up any of them, if I could it would be a struggle under perfect conditions, no way in rain and snow and mini vans are to small.
