Yes! I do have the towing package with the class III hitch! That is great news. I have emailed Jim (9dawgs) in hopes to get information of how his handles off road. He has a 2wd with a 4" lift and 31" AT's. His Astro looks amazing, but I am curious about the performance. Thank you for the...

Jim, I have been inspired by Herbie, T.Low, and you to buy an Astro van. I initially wanted an AWD, but I came across a 2wd with only 90,000 miles for a deal I couldn't pass up. It has a towing packing, so I believe it has the G80 lock in the rear (not 100% sure). I am amazed at how well your...

After inspiration from the Herbie and T.Low's Astro Vans combined with my love for exploration, I bought an Astro van. However, my Astro van is 2wd. I will post pictures of the build with aspirations of converting it to 4x4. I will probably ask a lot of questions regarding your Astro Vans.

woops... right. Sorry. I'm new to this thread thing. I will start a new one. If it is possible to delete the previous ones to the point of Herbie's, we can definitely do that. Thanks for the reminder.

astro advice Thank you for the detailed information. I am almost kicking myself for getting a 2wd. But the deal on the van was so great that I could not pass it up. It's a 2000 with only 90,000 miles and in great condition. I figured if the conversion to 4wd couldn't happen, I could always sell...

I just saw this thread. I read Herbie's previously. Thank ya'll for inspiration. I am in the Army and have missed my days of camping, hiking, fishing, rafting, etc for fun. I bought an Astro van recently because I get out of the Army in 9 months. My friends and I are planning a road trip to...

I have been inspired by these threads. I am planning a big road trip to Alaska with my friends when I get out of the Army. I have a 2000 Astro van that I bought with low miles. However, it is only 2 wheel drive. I was thinking of converting to 4wd. I figured I would have to buy a donor awd to...
