  • We upgraded Turtle with Timbren SES and Hellwig Helper Springs to restore and upgrade the outdated suspension parts!
    After nearly completing Turtle The Van's renovation and then driving nearly 2500 miles we noticed that the suspension was starting to sag. This created not only an uncomfortable ride but also reduced stability and safety. We wanted to correct this issue straight away before we continued down the road and found an amazing shop that could help us! We opted not to use airbags nor do a complete leaf spring pack swap but instead add upgrades to our existing setup!
    Who says you can't teach an old van new tricks?
    We have noticed great change in performance in wind, bumpy roads and maneuverability all while removing the sag in the rear!
    Stay tuned for van build updates! Thanks for being a part of our journey :)

    Anyone have recommendations for future upgrades?

      Im going to add a recirculating endless shower. a 12 volt solar panel for the car battery. And a auto self leveler for uneven terrian when camping.

      @@jpdg78 Unlimited showers sounds great! We’re still finalizing our shower area, we’ll have a video for that when we’re done.
      Also we’re looking forward to seeing how your self leveler turns out, sounds interesting!
      Have you looked into the renogy DC-DC charger? That’s what we have for one set of our solar panels. it does solar and alternator charging for your house batteries as well as trickle and maintenance charging for the starter battery all in one package.

    Thanks for choosing to run our Timbren SES kit on your van. Glad you've got the rear sag issue fixed and sorted.

    Wow. Even a suspension upgrade through the Tour de Turtle. Glad you are back on the road again. Lets do the Mojave trail with that new suspension.

      We might not be able to keep up with your Jeep but we’ll surely try! 😂 See you in Mojave!

    Hello. I have the same van. A 1987 and doing a complete interior rebuild. Im doing the top sleeper the same way. Thank you for your hard work and labor with that slide out 👍👍

      That’s so awesome! There aren’t many people who have this campervan so that’s really exciting for us to hear! Send us pictures on Instagram & let us know if you need any help at all :)

      We figured out the issue and are getting the replacement parts! Should be fixed and included in the next video! :)

      The repair is in our new video we just posted today! Turned out to be simple and we are cooking with all 3 burners again!
