Big Daddy, you're in San Diego: Have you met Herbie yet and seen what he's done with an Astro? Not trying to be the Homer, (always praising the home team) just curious if you have. I know you're familiar with mine as I've seen your replies on my threads. And I certainly don't want to turn...

I didn't realize the x challenge was so heavy. My camping gear and spare parts is 45 pounds, so I'm still under 300 loaded

Ouch. Good recovery luck. Since you're probably sitting around not doing much, here's a Laia Sanz video. She's at 1:14 mark, 2:45 mark, and 4:45 mark, among others. http://youtu.be/t4b2rKWwjW4

Ouch. There is no end to the crazy things that can happen. My wife thinks I'm nuts because (among other things) I make sure no one loads the dishwasher with knives and forks with sharp ends pointed upward. The silverware holder is in the bottom rack , rolled out when loading, waiting for...

I totally agree with the OP. I prefer my adventure riding Motonomad style. http://youtu.be/Hwoo8XGk4M0 As much as I'd like something like this GasGas, I suspect I may need to have these guys along, So maybe Laia Sanz is on to something with her new honda.

Would that be Skagit or Burlington?

As a person with ALS, my family and I salute FWC and thank all of you. It's going to make difference. I've always liked your style, Stan. :ylsmoke: Sincerely, Tom Lowell http://youtu.be/-aLAqB76A2g http://youtu.be/xfeIXZg23bs

The ARB bumper comes without recovery points?

Very cool to post itemized parts/price list.

You win the internet, that thing is ************!

At the risk of sounding like a Homer, I'm pretty sure I've read and been shown that redesigns have greatly improved crash test ratings, as this issue definitely has come up on forums. Scott C: Thanks for the compliment,

Join a ford explorer forum also and learn about your vehicle. Take an auto shop class in school this year.

Ok. Checkout the regional sub forum here, checkout Northwestoverland, and pacificnorthwestbackroadadventures, and join up on easy forest service road trips, and go to meet and greets. Good way to start. Does the Explorer have a 2spd hi/Lo range transfer case? Recovery points? Limited slip...

I think the box spring may be overkill. Just bring the mattress, but add a rain fly.

My 4x4 swap cost $200, and took half a Saturday. You guys were talking minivans and what ifs, so, I chimed in. If you want an off road mini/midsize van, the Astro is the one. I researched vans for 6 months, thinking it was between a Delica, a Syncro, and a Yotavan. All spreadsheets lead...

...and while this vehicle may be extreme in nature, it's a good example of how cool white with black trim can be: I'd rather have white than my pewter.

Maybe I missed it: do you sleep one up top and one below? I like your gaucho design better than mine. Although we've adiosed the gaucho in favor of a east west sleeper for 5'5" wife and 2 yr old kiddo. With the minivan, north south sleeping doesn't leave any living space. You've got tons of...

Really makes me wish I could get a brand new updated Astro. :(
