Small update. As listed above, I started looking closer at the AWD express. Since last posting here, I have moved from Colorado to North Carolina. This move has forced me to really consider what sort of use the van will get, which is pushing even farther towards the AWD. Current thought, is a...

Porterdog, thanks for the input. Any pictures of your van? Have you taken it on any trails?, or is it more of an on road rig?

Haha, I like the part about "handle and ride well", not so much the part about "were clearly built to have a hood over them". Is that what you currently have? what sort of MPG? How many miles? What sort of maintenance/repairs have you needed?

Totally fair question Bikersmurf. Guess I'm not 100% sold on the Chevy, just like 90%. So far, everything I've read about the Express, is that they are really solid, specifically the engine. What limited van experience I have, has been with Ford vans, and I wasn't impressed. I have read that the...

Still looking at vans, and wanted to hear your thoughts. I still like the idea of the 3500, but just for arguments sake, if I want a 4x4 van, that is capable of taking on say, a level 3 trail, but still be the primary family vehicle, what do you think is the better option... Express 3500 solid...

Man! if you genuinely have enough $$ to by something like this, well done, but I don't think I'll ever be able to afford a $90k vehicle. All that being said, this thing is pretty sweet...

I was actually hoping to track down the same info as Joe231...

Awesome Neil, thank you. I'd found their page, but hadn't notice if they did solid axle or IFS. May just have to schedule a field trip...

First off, hello everyone! First time posting here, and I've been lurking around for a couple months. This really seems like a fantastic site, group of people, and a wonderful resource. This thread is going to be the long process of my 4x4 van build. I say long, because I don't even plan on...

aod99, do you think you could get a bunch of pics similar to 86cj?? I've also just started looking into a 4x4 conversion for an express 3500, probably a year or two out, but figure I should start researching now... Is your van set up just like the pics above? can you give any info as to if they...

Had questions along the same line as BigDan.. I'm just starting to look into an express 3500 4x4 conversion.. Would one just need to replace the a 1500 rear axle, with a 3500 rear axle, and for that matter, could you replace the IFS axles up front, with 1 ton IFS axles? Or are there more...
