This is so much who Dennis is and I’m happy to chime in with equally strong
accolades and thanks.
Dennis has walked me through wheel and tire choices, thinking about
upgrades to brakes, lighting, etc. figuring out towing capabilities and
producing products that just work.
He’s generous with his time, and is always willing to help. It’s people
like Dennis who bind communities together. I sold my vanagon some time ago
and I’m still on here learning so much!
Cheers,
Harry
