Terrible idea to tow anything with a syncro , the trans just cant take it

I am guessing you realize how terrible a time it is to sell a syncro. If not , take a look at the Samba classified and Bring a Trailer. I would hold on to it for a few years if you possibly can. Too bad your daughter is not old enough to drive yet. To me , four adults need two rigs

Why would you want bigger tires if you are not going to offroad ?

I would not increase the diameter of the tires. These are geared way too high as it is. I would love to have bigger tires on my van but first gear and reverse are just waaaaaay too tall. So tall in fact , that in the sand you can only go forward once you stop, in reverse , the tires just wont move

You are going to love having your rig at work. For lunch you can use the kitchen to make a hot meal or coffee or tea on break. I have even been known to crash in the parking lot after a very long day at work instead of driving home in the middle of the night

How many miles are you planning to put on? I am at 250k and running strong. I expect to get another 50k at least before I rebuild . For me that is years of use

Not sure if thats true My van has very high gearing and also the G80 and I am sure that cant be normal if there is only one gearing for them

These vans are really geared for getting good fuel economy in a big van. The transmission is fairly light duty and the rear end on mine is geared way to high That said I have gone all over Baja for years on roads thats many people with true 4x4 shied away from I suggest keeping towing to a...

Here is a chart Table showing various mile per gallon (UK) measurements converted to miles per gallon (US). Miles Per Gallon (UK) Miles Per Gallon (US) 1 mpg (UK) 0.832674 mpg (US) 2 mpg (UK) 1.6653 mpg (US) 3 mpg (UK) 2.498 mpg (US) 4 mpg (UK) 3.3307 mpg (US) 5 mpg (UK) 4.1634...

Remember that in the UK, MPG is calculated with imperial gallons, so you need this conversion formula miles per gallon (US) = miles per gallon (UK) × 0.832674 So 25 MPG in England is only a little over 20 in the US This causes a lot of confusion

There are two kinds of air chucks for duallys , one has the reverse chuck at 45 degrees, the other is parallel You need the right one for your configuration

The nice thing about getting it installed in canada is paying in canadian dollars Not sure what prices are now but before the pandemic the deals were surprising good

There is also tufport in vancouver canada

For offroad especially sand, you want the smallest rim with the tallest , thinnest tire so you can air down and float on the surface

I am not doing trails per se , I am just trying to get my van to the best campsites. Offroading is not at all my hobby outside of this. I grew up in a very rural area with lots of barely passable logging roads so my tire placement skills are pretty advanced. I only have the 2 inch traxda lift...

I dont think you can put in the 4L80 because it messes up the computer. My van does really well off road in mexico , the biggest problem is its geared way to high

If you have half as many adventures in that van as I have had in mine, its well worth the price.

that is a sweet rig. I guessing that cost quite a bit eh?

Do you have a donor van or are you going to try to buy all the parts?
