Thanks for all the great info! Im def leaning towards the astro/safari. Im very used to driving cheap rigs and wrenching on them. I actually prefer a budget rig. Heading to put in on the river for 6 days. Looking forward to reading more when i get back.
Hi folks as the title says I'm looking for some input on building an adventure travel van.
I'm a raft guide on the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho and have 6-7 months off a year to travel and adventure around. After a lot of thinking and a lot of research I've decided a van is the best...
I have had a lot if interest but no bites. It will be on good ole ebay this weekend. This is very much a project, but definitely a valuable one for someone.
I will post a link when it goes on ebay if anyone is interested in bidding.
Forgot to mention I got bored yesterday and began working on some of the dryrot, and I will be resealing the seams with fresh silcone sealer this week. I will probably be putting some work into it this week and putting on Ebay on Sunday. My Girlfriend wants to put her touch on the...

CLint,
Thank you so much. Great post. I have def. reconsidered the axle idea.
What add-a-leafs and shackles have would you recomened? Can I add stock leafs to my pack for more lift?
Also, I was planning on finding some 33"x 9.5 or 10.5 and use my stock wheels. I have heard good things...
Thanks guys. Basically In keeping with a budget for now I might just look for some 31-32"s. What metric sizes match these? Then I can be comfortable with stock gears. I believe I will still go with some sort of a suspension due to the sagging rear end. Maybe even just more arched stock...
Thanks for the info guys. I have had a few people say that running a narrow 33" with be fine with stock gearing. The axles were my main question, and I think I might stick with mine. Basically I just wanted to have spare axles. I guess I can just pick spare parts up along the way. Any other...
So I just picked up a 1982 FJ60. She is in great shape for 170k miles. Runs great and passed smog no problem. The mods below are going to be in the future as I am taking care of most of my PM right now. I am going to just search for the best deals in the meantime.
I am trying to keep ALL...
The smog place is closed on the weekend. It passed 4 months ago when he registered it so it should have no problem. Probably the nicest 60 I have ever been in/driven. You guys are going to lose your minds when I tell you how much I am paying for it. Lets just say I have a lot left over for mods.
