i called vanamburg twice today an emailed twice aswell. Nothing back yet.

We (the Ski-benders) had a crab feed yesterday and Vanamberg Ent. is a big part of the club. It took the entire day from 9:00 a.m. till 12:00 a.m. Try again monday. Just some FYI, Vanamberg has also been very busy trying to keep our riding areas open from D.N.R. closures. He may be hard to get ahold of right now.

Talk to mike when mine bent he said it was due to the length and thickness. He shipped out side sections for reinforcement. It bends in the window .

Tunnel extention

From the sounds of this it's just happening on the 174" extentions. Has any one had this happen on the 162" extentions at all ? I just put the 162" on mine and may want to stiffen it before this same thing happens to mine. Let me know if any one out there has had this happen to the 162" please.

so does this meen the ve i not as strong as it used to be or do they have to reinforce just like the bdx bumper?

Got ahold of Mike today. He will be replacing it with thicker material. Couldnt have asked for a better response.

Vanamburg is top notch fabrication, look at the install you did. Cheers Red Dog.

Do you all have any recommendations on installation for this Van Amburg 1/2 boondock rear tunnel in topic? I should be receiving the goods any day now and haven't tackled tunnel replacement before.

Is installation self explanitory? Air gun riveter required or will the hand held tool work? Is it compatible with factory exchanger?

All advice appreciated.

Thanks.

I would reccomend getting an air riviter. Pulls the rivers tighter than by hand.

the last 3 guys to respond are wrong.

true, this guy has the meaty complete VE rear boondock rear half, same one i got, mine feels bomb proof

 

[hatchers]

The guys and Gal at VE have treated me very very well

Q:
- how much longer is the 174 vs the 162??
- i cant see the stock tube coolers in your windows like i can see on my 162
- im still saying my 162 is bomb proof, and i would love to see the under side of this 174, can you post a pic please
