Congrats on the feature! That is a very cool van. Can you tell me how it compares on the trail to other vehicles you have had in the past? What sort of mileage do you get? Is it comfortable? Fits on the trails? Capable and reliable? Sorry about all of the questions, I am sort of a novice when it comes to vans.

Thanks!!
My last 4x4 was a van as well, and it wheeled a little better because of a few things. It was lighter, had no sway bar or airbags, and had a gas engine. And it was a little beat up, so I didn't really care to hammer it.------------ This van wheels fine, even though it's about 8000lbs. I do have to be careful on certain trails to keep from scratching it, but it's gonna happen, and has. I did Mojave rd with a bunch of Jeeps, and the van handled it fine, and those guys were haulin a**. Of course there are trails & areas that the van just should not go, so I don't put it on it's lid. The mileage is about 10-13 mpg, and it's plenty comfortable & reliable.

Chris, Congrats!!!
Your van is now a STAR!
What's your van's name? Gotta give it a name . . .
Anyway, though not as refined as yours, my RV wants to follow yours' footsteps (I'm working on it
" . . The mileage is about 10-13 mpg "
that's good to know. Mine does 7.5-9.5 mpg at 10K lbs. loaded.

Congrats, that is so cool.
I can't wait to see the van in person someday, and take notes.

:victory: Congratulations, a well deserved magazine spread! Now if they ever do auditions for an "A" Team Movie, you've got to enter the van for the part! :wings:
