    Considering buying or building a 4WD adventure van

    Thanks for all the links, but to be honest, all those things are way out of my price range. I am more into finding the diamond in the cheap rough or building one from a cheap starting point and doing it over time. 69K or even 20K for a van is just way too out of my price range. I am trying...

    Also, I am not well versed on all the terminology for America vehicles - like Dana, 6 bolt - 9 bolt and what not. Anyone have any links to a site that explains that stuff? I addition any links to articles about the drive train for the Astro's?

    Considering buying or building a 4WD adventure van

    Hello everyone, I have been reading over the boards now for a little bit and have been doing a great deal of learning. In an ideal world I could afford a VW Syncro Vanagon with a poptop and a Tdi conversion, but those are WAY out of my price range. Not to mention parts are not cheap. I have...
