Not the 7.3 in particular, more that I'm not a diesel guy for many reasons.

My inside tire does a lot of digging.

I'd consider that white one if it were not a diesel.

These are some simple little scenarios that we've come across while overlanding, and since camp spots were brought up, I've included the corresponding camp spots. While it may be debate able wether or not I could thrash a 2wd hi range w/locker and get through, it certainly doesn't mean it's the...

Here with the Cascade Mtn range, some of my favorite destinations are at the top of steep, often wet, rocky, rooty, and rutty mtn trails. And while personally, yes, that played a major part in acquiring an awd Astro to build rather than a full size, you can certainly run EBs on many of them also.

That's some seriously fuzzy math there, friend.

Sounds like you could cut out that other 5% of places you drive and you may be fine. Personally, some of my fondest memories were made possible in part by 4wheel drive.

Sweet.

Sorry, meant to ask aerostar vs Astro. Edited for clarity.

What is headroom difference between the Aerostar and Astro? That's a priority when boat camping. The Astro is already lower than she wanted. What's the horsepower and tourque difference between the two?. She's going to be heading up mountains overloaded with boats, peeps, and gear...

She was already noting an Astro felt cramped, Aerostar is even smaller .

This here is the key. Get off the internet and onto the pavement. A sprinter is sweet because you can build a platform high enough to place ww boats on their sides underneath and still have plenty of head room above. The sooner you test drive a sprinter, the sooner you'll know wether you...

Wow! :Wow1:

Try GTRV for a DIY kit. They ve not done it in the past , but may be now.

Holy wow! Incredible shots.

Of course, a solo camper can still appreciate the increased camp space in a full size van. Just depends on one's priorities and preferences.

Yeah , leave it until you know you want one.

I'm into the Cascade Mtn Range often and lo range is very helpful for me. On extended steep sections of fs roads it eases the stress on the transmission, of course. Low range lets me go slow up steep off road two tracks and therefore go easier on my suspension, etc. Last year on a 4x4...

dang, I need another forum to register for like I need another stink eye from a Syncro driver!

Some of my favorite ER Docs are at the Whistler Clinic!
