With zero options for a short wheelbase replacement van I began shopping for a regular wheelbase AWD replacement - reluctantly... shorty's are the **** on jeep roads. I picked the AWD GM van as the next best option and began searching, nation-wide.. 3 months later I located a 1-owner 2004 conversion van with 60k miles - I like factory vans, but most used passenger are conversion vans.. worked at a conversion van outfit at one point & know what their idea of quality is.. I am ok with this knowing I will be re-working the wiring & slowly replace drywall screws with stainless hardware. Bang for the camper buck, conversion vans are great - already paneled, carpeted, insulated, etc The van I purchased came with the G80 locker and 3.73 gears, driver & passenger side doors, and also factory rear air - not an option all years.

And, with 16" wheels replaced with 2013 Sierra wheels & 265-70-r17 Michelin at2 tires:
