I absolutely love my my AWD express but it is terrible for towing, like really really bad. The 4L60E is the weak link. I got my van cheap because the last owner blew the trans towing a 4000 pound trailer around the southwest. Its a very light duty unit but might be part of the reason we get...

We should send people to this thread that are thinking of getting into this type of rig. If OP did not have an absolute mountain of skills and patience , this journey would have been over long ago. People need to have a realistic understanding of the resources they have and the resources...

I think the problem is that facebook has killed forums like these. All the places I have loved over the years have dwindled down until there are only a handful of people left. Facebook pages for stuff like this are next to worthless because they are hard to search for information , I wish...

I wonder how hard it would be to make an adapter plate. Those truck mirrors are pretty nice.

GM trucks used to have normal looking mirrors much like ours but that would pull out when you had to tow something. Are there none like this for our vans? Can the ones for GM trucks be modified to fit?

The awd is amazing on sand if you air down . Great for getting over a few steep tricky obstacles on a long dirt road It can do better than you would think but mine is geared way too high and with no low range , you really feel it sometimes A quigly is not going to give you the same awesome...

I have toyed with the idea of adding a top to my express van for years . The problem is that I need a bunch of rooftop stuff like solar panels , solar water heater and my kayak. I dont do any rock crawling but I do use my AWD to get me to some very remote beaches in mexico. I have to pull a few...
