Congrats with the twins. .. we also found out this week we are expecting our 4th. So I'll be keeping my XL for a while... are you still keeping the exhaust in the rear bumper?

Wow yup sounds like you're going to need a few more doors!

I was thinking burb or xl when we thought it was a single in there. Now, we're (she's) forced into the dreadful minivan because we'll be rocking 4 car seats & a wifey that doesnt wanna climb into a truck to get to the rear. I was pretty disappointed about our future vehicle until I found this:

Now, I'm somewhat optimistic.

Thank you... I think. Congrats to you as well! I hope you have a little more of an age gap than what I'll be working with. I am still on the fence about the exhaust in the bumper, but am kinda leaning that way. You have any thoughts?

Why not just get a suburban or xl with second row bucket seats that way you can climb through very easily? Same as a minivan

I have a 9yo girl, 5yo boy, 6 month old girl, now ???? due Nov.


I say get a XL/Burb and rock it. But that van is beyond sick! I'd like to get a E350 4x4 with a diesel for my DD but I'm sticking with the XL.

And I'd totally got with exhaust in the bumper, I think it sets it off

I'd like to get a burb, but since it'll be hers and she's giving up the car she really wanted and just got a month ago she can make the call. The sienna does have more room and the sliding door will be a LOT easier for a recently preggo wifey to get in and out of.

Anyway, made a lil more progress on the front bumper. Only things lacking are s few more mounting brackets, the prerunner bar, and some final welding & grinding. Then I can send it to paint.

Still have quite a bit of adjusting and aligning to do and some things I would do differently, but overall I'm pretty happy so far.

That is when ours are due. You're gonna have your hands full too. There are 15 months between our first two which is about the same difference between your last two, right? The 9yr old will be changing a lot of diapers if she isn't already :)
