Very COOL RIG!!! Welcome to the forum. Another wheeler who's got the balls taking that size of rig in tough dispersed campsites.

Cool indeed!!!

Been there, asking the same questions, during the past 3 years, until 6 months ago. It all depends where you want the van to take you. If you'll never take the van to desolate scenic and primitive places, like remote mountains and secluded beaches where there is no one to help you out, then you...

4wdvan, you have a very clean build, I'm sure it will turn out perfect! And welcome to the forum, happy to have you here and follow your build.

If your van's front suspension is IFS, look at spindle lift kits. The spindles I have that used to be in my unibody GMC van (I converted to 4x4 with Dana 60 axle) gave my van 4.5 inches lift. It's from Fabtech and it's for a truck but can be fit for a van; it's doable. It will require you to...

I also vote NO. I had one, pulled it with my 4WD Expedition. Nice solid trailer but it's too much weight/burden on the tow vehicle; it's more suited for a 1-ton truck.

I would have been very interested if I caught this post on time. If it reappers/reposts, please PM me. Thanks.

. . . bit when not being driven, i.e. being pulled, is it not behaving/backing like a "wagon"? I guess it has "perfect" steering?

"Is there a body in there?" - best "Is that a Hummer"? - dumbest "Did you make it yourself, how much did you spend"? "Would you like to trade (for a lifted/built-up 4x4)"? "Do you hunt"? "Is that bullet-proof"? "Is that 4WD"? "That's so 909", when I still lived in area code 909 "(no question) at...

Thanks all for your input. I got the idea after I saw the MaxiMog trailer, which is 4-wheeled also. Is there any special feature of that trailer?

"Just weight, brakes, and lights" It looks like it has lights and it's a military vehicle it's gotta have been designed/equipped to articulate. As far as brakes are concerned, just from the the pic, I don't see any brake wiring or indication of surge brakes on the trailer. And I'd guess it to...

I just thought this would make a cool platform for an off-road trailer. Anybody's seen these and are they street legal?

I've debated with myself :-) about getting a pull pal, especially after I got stuck in Baja blow sand. I was a newbie then and didn't have a front locker yet at the time. Have you ever used your pull pall to really get you out of a situation?

Do not wash. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Do not iron. Do not dryclean. ******, what do you do to clean it?

Terrific find. I'm jealous of your Gear Vendor multiplier you got for "free", it's the one "not cheap" upgrade I've been wanting to have for my rig.

You got your work cut out for you and your daughter. Nice project. I'll be following this. But it's giving me flashbacks of what I (and a helper, not a daughter:-) went through with my rig/RV more than 4 years ago, and not just a teardown of the interior, it included the teardown and complete...

Chris, those are 80's P30 rotors. Thanks for your past guidance (If you remember I almost did an IFS 4x4 conversion :-(. It took me a while to do the D60 planning and install but it turned out very well. The RV drives terrific, very solid even with my own much-criticised unique high-steer setup...
