My vote for May's van of the month is LiftedAWDAstro.His SPB again is one that has been a staple on both boards for yrs.His know how in 4 x4's is easy to see on the van and in his every post.His helping hand to all members in the subject matter of 4 x 4's again shows what he has developed in his van. =D> =D>
