    What about the GM 8.1 Vortec?

    1973 Travel Trailer - "Baby Blue"

    Nice find, Andre. I know the story well. We paid less for this '72 17ft Prowler (everything works, meticulously maintained) than we did for any of our mountain bikes.

    What about the GM 8.1 Vortec?

    Thanks, good to know. I may just end up buying a cargo van and adding the 4wd and lift myself in time if I feel like it. Know where a guy can get a kit for such a wacky idea?:D Seriously, I'll spend a lot more of my life in this rig than in the AstroLander, unfortunately, so why not make it...

    What about the GM 8.1 Vortec?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. Good points, all. Well, its not a tow rig per se, even though I would use it a couple times a year to tow, but thats all. He's asking $18,500. Its main function is to be a mobile office to write bids and orders for construction materials at job sites. The allure...

    What about the GM 8.1 Vortec?

    Found a 1 ton rig I like. Price is good, private party seller, custom set up is perfect for me, and rare, and expensive to duplicate, original owner that I do not know personally. It has a stock original '02 8.1 liter Vortec in it at 91,000 miles. I have no experience with this rig, and my...

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Excellent shortbus. There is a 4x4 shorty I spied at a little school somewhere down around Owhyee, Oregon. A link to any interior shots or want to post some here? We'd like to see em.

    I was very close to buying a c6 z06. It's in my dream garage. Hopefully in my real garage some day soon. How any car enthusiast can manage to not be in lust with this car is beyond me. c6 Corvette Z06 test by Tiff Needell www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMDtROZo1kE Edit: I see we're including the...

    Well Phooey!

    Also glad you are ok (shaken, but not stirred). Once a helmet has been hit hard enough to "do its job", it then has lost the ability to absorb and spread the energy of the impact. Significance beeing that next time the energy will pass directly to your mellon. For much the same reason...

    My Westfalia Syncro!

    Same with the AstroLander. I have had a Westy cabinet and bench sytem, but ended up using a "weekender" type sytem as its more versatile. It really depends on your main uses of the van. Mine is being used more as a Sherpa than a Basecamp these days, so the open interior allows for easy gear...

    My new expo/adv steed

    Holy cow, how big is that large tank? The DRZ is a capable bike. I can't believe how well my buddy does on the tight trails and gnarly rocky rooty rutted wet stuff in the Pacific Northwest. Search ADVR for reviews of the 606s; I thought everyone hated those but I could be wrong as its not a...

    Much thanks to you both, my Expo friends. You're too kind. And I suspect both of you have logged enough miles to understand. Cheers.
