Were you happy with CA Sportsmobile? I have a 2WD 2001 Dodge B1500 van outfitted by IN Sportsmobile.

Nice work on T.low's van! That's funny as I did a similar Photoshop job a while back to show him that the lower panels, bumpers and wheels should be black! Just looked for it and found that photo again on page 11 of this thread! HA! Still haven't convinced him though.

Try to look for a 2003-05 model year. They have 16" wheels instead of 15", along with bigger, better brakes.

Which magazine? Love to read about expedition vehicles :sombrero:
Magazine article
T.Lows van is in the July 2009 4Wheel and Off Road (VOL 32 NO. 7)
the article breaks down a few expedition rigs, by price and size. probably nothing new to the readers of this forum, but interesting to me. and it got me on this path for an Astro.
you might also be able to find it @ www.4wheeloffroad.com

Looks awesome Justin! Now can you please photoshop a welder into my garage?!!
Thanks for the good words, guys. The van has been a blast, even more so than we ever thought it could be.
A combination of factors have made it difficult to prioritize a complete interior build; we seem to haul lots of people more often than we ever thought we would (including seven people with luggage!); the interior has worked well enough as is; I sell building materials for a living so the economy has hit our household hard; and I've spent way too much time riding my enduro this summer and fall.:bike_rider:

Heres some shots of my rig from a recent trip to Baja. From Canada down to mainland mexico and back up the length of the Baja peninsula. 13000km. Its cool to see all the variety of vans on here. You just cant beat the van body for utility! Lets see some more vans too, i know there must be some more VWs, Delicas, SMBs, toyotas, whatever
