    Astro gets a rear tire carrier....Finally.

    very nice looking, that tire brings back memories, it's what came on my trooper (first vehicle) when I bought it in 96 but it was a 235/75r15

    Pics of your VAN! Post up!

    Took the chevy on some dirt roads in the great smoky mountains the past few days. We made the 1060 mile round trip, mainly to take the younger ones on the Polar Express train ride, but some free time, led way to some off pavement adventures. Nothing too extreme, but plenty of good views and...

    the van is looking good Mr.Nacho I really like the trim molding idea. Looks sharp with the black wheels. What kind of racks are those?

    Chevy AWD

    hahaha, my wife is already fussing about how much harder it is to get in the van (especially with the kids)......I don't even want to think about 6in. Maybe when the kids get older and I can afford some of those power running boards LOL. I see they are offering a 2" kit though, I imagine it's...

    Chevy AWD

    I've got a buddy that will let me borrow the tool, it makes it so much easier and safer. I don't mind if the rear is a little higher, that's how it sits now anyways. If it's too high I'll throw a 1" block under there instead, the 2" blocks I got were free so they are worth giving a try for...

    "Big Red" GMC Savana build

    dude I have to get one of those Zombie Outbreak decals.....awesome. My wife and I settled on 3 kids, lucky for us the 3rd came with a twin, so that's 4. That allowed me to convince the wife we needed the "man van" over the suburban, she loves it now.

    Another option for the rear bilstein shock is the 24-185783. I ordered that one since it's the one used on SUV and the valving may be a little different than the one for the trucks 24-186742. I still haven't reordered any keys for the front yet so none of mine is installed yet. I ordered the...

    hahaha, yea I gave up on going too wide. I just picked up a set of factory chevy off-road package 18's for 325 (things are like new) and just today found a used set of BFG Rugged Trail's in a 275/65r18 for $180 delivered with about 70% tread left. I think it'll all look alot better than what I...

    Chevrolet Express Van - AWD to 4x4 conversion

    This thread is awesome and if I ever need 4low I will use this for reference. However I don't think I'd compare the AWD system on these vans to other AWD systems out there. Our T-case is like the ones found in the late 90's tahoe/suburban's it just doesn't have 2 speeds. Having said that I...

    Looking for info on a lift

    I emailed them yesterday and this is the response I got about an awd version of the kit :ylsmoke: Hello Jeremy, Unfortunately the lift will not work with the AWD. We are trying to develop one but unsure on the time frame for that. Thanks, Kelly ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeremy Foytik...

    Chevy AWD

    We need pictures lol. My van finally came in yesterday (ordered august). I've been planning on lifting it about 2 in, so I'm glad to see it done. What color were your keys? I've also got a sliding door so we've got to figure out something for that. Great posts.
