Sweet pics. The van looks like its in its natural habitat out there. Colorado is another place I could definitely live (except that I'm a Wings fan!). So much to do and see out there. That van is the perfect Colorado rig. What tires did you go with? I went with "Kelly" 31"x10.5 Trail...

Thanks everyone! Couldn't have done it with out you guys/gals or this website. The pictures and info gave me enough insight and motivation to figure it out myself. That and the fact that the 4x4 shops here in town wanted $1400 to install it. And a big THANKS to Dan at OLV for his help during two pho...

Well I got the lift on and figured I'd test her out. We drove up the Poudre canyon, which is about 10 miles away from where we live and on into the forest for an overnight trip. Here's the drive up: http://i587.photobucket.com/albums/ss318/TinytheRhino/DSC00286.jpg Heres the van all set up: http://i...

Finally. It's done. OLV 4" lift and 31x10.5 tires and a decent amount of trimming in the wheel wells.! It took me two days( not bad considering I've never worked on a car(or van) before .

Tom, Sorry to have not seen this sooner. My prayers and love are also with your family. Nothing is more powerful than love, so just keep it comin to him. My sister had a brain tumor that was "supposed" to take her. It went away and came back and went away again. Now it's been gone for 8 ye...

I ordered the 4" and plan on running 31's. I'm working on a homemade retractable awning for it as well.

FINALLY! I ordered my lift kit for tiny.

Drove 500 miles across nebraska yesterday. My first road trip with the van. About 300 miles into the trip there was a huge wall cloud. watched the outside temp drop 20 degrees in about 2 miles. Then severe rain and hail. turned on radio as I was coming up to the storm waiting for a tornado warning.....

Very cool!! Thanks for sharing. Gets the ideas flowing about the astro.. If I did it the way they did then I'd just have to put in a sunroof and make the pop-up out of a astro conversion van top.

This is my wife (at the bottom) in Redwood State Park, CA.

...interesting...

Thanks for sharing your weekend. Looks like a lot of fun. hopefully I can return the favor soon!

Nice story, thanks for sharing it. I completly agree.

Well said. Blessings and Peace to all of you.

Yeah, the wife and I looked for a long time for the perfect vw van but they are sooooo expensive. Used to own a '79 westfalia, it was awesome....(top speed 60 mph)...to camp in... Not ready to shell out that kind of money just to keep it on the road.. so we went with the Astro \:D/ Now I can dump al...
