I heart the Astro cargos! Everything you need to know about it is right here: http://astrosafarivans.org/bb2/search.php?search_id=active_topics Best of luck with it.:smiley_drive:

My Eaton Posi blew up on me at Vedder Mountain, actually, so I got a Detroit Locker. So far, the only thing I've noticed in almost three years of it is once on the tight radiused 180 degree hairpin on-ramp from the Alderwood (N. Seattle) to I-5 northbound it started power sliding at a pretty...

I don't think so but it's hard to tell. I suppose it should actually increase MPG because the tcase swap will allow you to be in real 2wd instead of always in awd. I did a lot of the modifications in a relatively short time period. I may have only gone thru one tank of gas before I lifted it...

Wow, I guess Iowa Street is the high rent district, but thats redonkulous! Thats good general info, thanks for posting it. Would a CarFax show that the vehicle had gone thru multiple stealerships like that?

Are you sure you want to give up the AWD function? As of yet, the the only 2spd t cases that swap over do not include awd, only 2wd or 4wd. I miss my awd for the rainy mountain passes. http://astrosafarivans.org/bb2/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=4936

I thought the Fuetaleafu was damned up before then. I am thinking of something else, or a different section?

Both certainly are world class paddling regions, but you're right; people don't often realize how much shoreline is contained within Georgian Bay and that it is infact part of the Niagra Escarpment that creates quite a dramatic shoreline. I've spent a bit of time paddling Tobermory and south...

I miss the New. It was my first white water experience. I especially like running Greyhound Bus Stopper all the way river right, such a cool slot above that never ending little whirlpool to China. Oh yeah, and we don't have warm water in Washington outside of the hot tub. I really miss that.

Thanks a lot, Jake and Opie. I agree, it's very practical and thats why I can't understand why GM never branched out to different versions like Subaru did with their wagon. The geometry on the CV's is very lax, no worries. After doing a ton of research, i found that the NP233 should bolt...

Nice looking rig, neighbor. See ya round.:ylsmoke:

Thanks, I appreciate that. When I change or modify vehicles, I seem to prefer making it look like "factory options", like always upgrading (or changing anyway) the wheels but "keeping it in the family" sorta thing. And I haven't seen any other Astro set up like this either, actually. I...

Nice rigs, guys. After owning everything from F-250's, full size Broncos, FJ40s, Honda Accord Hatchbacks, etc, etc., I bought a one year old '98 Dakota with a 5spd stick and Flowmaster Exhuast and built it a little from there and put the Durango R/T 17" wheels on it. It was like driving a...

Dave, if that's truely your company van, I'm sending you my resume.:smiley_drive: I heart Astro cargo vans. Can't help it; I'm not proud; it's just the way I'm wi fi'ed. When I was outside sales in the construction industry, I really wanted to lift and v8 an Astro cargo for my sales rig...

Yeah, it might be high for a 33 yr old vehicle, even if all the items are in working condition. But really, I don't know the market well enough to guesstimate. If it's a consignment vehicle, they probably don't have much room. If they took it in on trade for a newer rig, you know they gave...

That is one sweet van, JR. I first saw the Country Homes Toyota van on Dan and Roy's Yotavan website back when I was first researching vans to build. Tipped a few beers with Roy at a micro brewery discussing the Yotavans and drove his, they are so cool. Nice job.

Get on Sportsmobile.com. They have a page where you can design your own floorplan. It's a hoot. You can even specify EB for Extended Body (15 passenger). Show us what you come up with so we can comment...cuz that's what we're here for.:ylsmoke: I know for my purposes, I'd divide up the...

I'd imagine the 3" memory foam would go all the way to "comfortable" for that scenario. We use it in our pop top, although it doesn't store nearly as compact as the T-rest.

NOT AFFILIATED; just wanted to help out any fellow members that may be looking for such a rare unit. Could be a good candidate for a 4x4 conversion. 66,000 miles, $9,999. (Have no idea what the value is on one of these.) I drove by it yesterday at my local rv shop. Looks real good. Body...

Not to take anything away from the Tacoma, and yes we understand you are probably still in the honeymoon phase of Tiger ownership; but that being said, has the Taco been out much since getting the Tiger? How have you used the Tacoma and has your idea of it's usefulness to you changed at all...

Terry, thank you very much for the kind words, and your eloquent points. That's an especially nice thing to hear from someone inside the offroad industry.:ylsmoke: Some people will say what they say, and thats fine, they're welcome to their opinions and comments. I really don't mind that they...
