I'm planning to do a year long trip around the country just traveling and seeing the sights and generally doing what I want to do until I get bored. I want to be-able to go to some of the out of the way places along the way and I've been shopping for a good used 4x4 van.
I came across a GMC Savana that is a Qugiley 4x4 conversion and it seems to be in pretty good shape and the price is very good. The problem is it's the extended van and Chevy/GMC actually stretched the wheelbase of the vans rather than add the extra at the back. This has me a bit worried about it easily bottoming out but I was curious what other's thoughts are on this?
If I were to buy the van I'd like go a bit bigger on the tires and maybe a small lift, but I want the van to be practical and not a crazy off road beast. Any thoughts on this? Part of me says buy it because it's a very good deal.. The other part of me says Looooooooong cat is too Looooooooong..
