Trying to keep the price lined up with our ad on Ebay:
It’s time that we pass this awesome rig onto a new owner. We have owned it for 9 years and have enjoyed tons of great adventures in it. But the kids are in college, and we just don’t need a vehicle this big anymore. Hate to see it sit. This van is ready to go anywhere. Everything works, there is no rot, no soft spots, no lurking mechanical issues, absolutely nothing that worries me.
V10 gas engine. 132,000 miles
If you know you know: this rig is unstoppable. It is great in the snow – even in 2wd. If you need to get 10 people out on the beach or up to the ski areas in any weather this is the rig for you.
We are asking good money for this no doubt. But this is a fully sorted van that needs nothing. We have just completed a body restoration that included replacing the inner and outer rear quarters on both sides; fabrication of new front fender quarters; repair of fender arches; repair of all door bottoms; Monstaliner on the lower beltline and bumpers. The chassis and all cavities – including the doors - have been treated with Fluid film. We are big fans of Fluid film and have treated this van every year, which is one of the reasons it is in as good a shape as it is. There are no rust issues on this van.
Inside we have added 3 bucket seats in the second row. As is sits it can carry 8 people and all their equipment. We have another 3-person bench that will go with the van, and the brackets to re-install it if desired. The buckets fold flat. When they are folded flat you can carry 4X8’ sheets of plywood inside.
Upgrades, new components, and features:
