Just picked up this 2017 Express. Huge mod list starting now! Decided to join after seeing some post from a guy with a red savanna long wheel base.

That must be Ron's (Teammuir1) van. He's done quite a bit on it. He's been off with other things, but I'm texting with him regularly. He'll be back soon. Welcome!

Sounds like you may have a build thread of your own. I look forward to seeing what you have planned. I've pretty much stopped for the winter, but am anxious to get back out there.

Yessir it’s going to be a tow rig for our camper/ mobile detailing setup/ everyday transportation. Traded my 8.1 suburban for it. First mod is refinishing Silverado polished wheels pics to come.

I'd love to get a set of mags, but that's not in the budget. Can't wait to see them on your van.

Stripped clear coat, 600-800 wet sand on bad parts. 0000 wet steel wool entire surface.
Not sure which one does better. I’ll keep you guys posted.

I've always liked Mothers. No experience with the Zephyr. They cleaned up well. I'm guessing there's some sort of center cap or cover?

I had those wheels on my van at the start of my thread on here....
I was happy with them.... you will be too I am sure... you have
done a great job of cleaning them up.... just remember the shinier
you make the wheels.... the duller the center cap will be .....
unless... you get a hold of a set of those Chrome center caps.
