Not sure who builds them but the vans are used as snow coaches in Yellowstone and the surrounding areas. Some snow coach companies have found that the big tires aired way down are just as effective on the groomed trails as the Mattraxx. The big tires are cheaper initially to purchase and have almost no maintenance compared to tracks.

Difference being is that I drove in to that space... boxing myself in. The cars on either side had no obstructions preventing them from leaving.
At 8500 lbs with a 7.3 diesel it wouldn't be hard to create a bit more space, but it wasn't necessary.

Crashed out at a "better than nothing" spot on the way north last week. Stars were nice.

Thanks Gents!
Yes, the roof slides open. A "convertible coupe" of sorts. Also a viewing platform, etc.

And since this is a pics thread, here's a shot from the drive back south, Sacramento in the distance:

Picking up canoes (and scouts and leaders) after a scout canoe trip
It was a rough trail getting back to the lake shore for the pick up. Was glad to have Posi with the road tires we bought the van with - there were a few places I think I could feel it working.

Thank you! That inspired me to get more organized.
Funny, I brought various tools (that worked for check in) to south america on a recent overland trip, including a handful of those mega- zip ties. They saved my ***** in the atacama when one of my bumper mount brackets disintegrated. You never know...
Mucho gusto!

It's best to always be prepared, but not over-prepared. It's a fine balance.
