The way I see it, what a perfect way to display the 26" (I will presume those are standard tires on your bike:bike_rider
of ground clearance.... at the body of course
Very nice looking Van!

By all means have at it!Welcome!!! Does it drive/handle good? It looks great, always nice to see another 4x4 van on the road. Mind if I steal pics for my site???
It handles really well, better than what I expected. I'd like just a little more pick up but it's not bad at all.
Thanks!The way I see it, what a perfect way to display the 26" (I will presume those are standard tires on your bike:bike_rider

Very nice with 4wd change.
FWIW Had the same van that we used for camping, hauling bikes and daily driver.
Keep the original interior, only change was a 3 section full width electric reclining sofa bed.
Push a button, seat and back folded flat, while the third section folded flat from back.
Adapted the sofa bed mounting so it would fit into the OEM floor lock downs.
Always had the option to change OEM seating and sofa/bed around depending on use, very versatile.

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for, and pretty much what I was planning on for my van. I couldn't tell from the pics whether yours were 17's or 18's. The rings were throwing me off.

Progress has been slow... life just got in the way.
got some side steps installed... went with N-Fab as I got a super deal on them.
Picked up the UJoint front bumper to!
then found a used aluminess tire carrier that needed some modifications to fit my full sized spare... easy and cheap enough.
then picked up this NV 271 t-case today before coming into work....
more than I cared to spend but completely rebuilt and hopefully buys me some peace of mind.
3hr round trip up to Burbank and back to Orange County during holiday weekend traffic :smiley_drive:
finalizing an order with UJoint today... i keep flip-flopping on a new fuel tank... hate the thought of losing a couple gallons.
4x4 conversion should be done in a couple weeks after I get the rest of the parts from UJoint.
Then on to the interior!

Not thru any regular channels. My good friend worked with the owner of N-Fab long ago and called in a favor.
