Since picking up SLY last week from Ed in Kansas City, did a few quick mods:
1) Replaced the antenna with a customized stubby from Craven Speed
2) Installed a JL Oil Catch Can
3) Laid down a Bed Rug Vantred floor (probably a temporary solution while doing more work on the interior) Sorry didn't get an up close photo of the floor yet.
Next up is sound reduction & thermal insulation (Kilmat / Noico & Thinsulate 600L)

A good start!

Now that the weather is cooperating, I am able to work on the van again. Got the passenger swivel (Amazing Auto) installed today. Purchased from @Hein at DIYVAN over a year ago . Having the power seats makes it a little trickier... Had to use some washers for spacers and trimmed the plastic on the outboard side. I tried bending the anchor loop but in reality it bent the sheet metal it's welded to, so I will be cutting it off. Next up is the driver side swivel.

The driver's side swivel went a little quicker... I cut about an inch off the plastic on the outboard controls side - clamped a board for a guide and used the sonic tool to make the cut.

I did not disconnect the battery. I loosened the battery cover and slightly re-routed the cable to the seat connector so it wouldn't be pinched by the swivel.
Sure glad I didn't have to deal with the hand brake between the seats!
So far I do not mind the added height of the seats with the swivels.
