A new Minnesota vanner here!

Post by astrodamus »

Hi all, I have a 98 cargo Astro that I picked up in Sioux Falls, SD for a 1000 bucks while doing a job there, best money I ever spent! The paint on it was cheaply done but hey, it's going to be repainted any ways.. I threw on some new tires from a rim and tire shop down there for $300 plus an oil change then I hit highway home. I made that trip at least twice both ways with out a tune up. I can strongly say I love this truck! It has already saved my life once from not flipping over when I slid off the road into a ditch one snowy morning on my way to do a job. A wrecker showed up pull us out the ditch and off to work we went.. So for that reason it deserve to be customized!!

Pictures coming soon!

Welcome!

And you can't beat one of these in AWD form for winter travel. It's the best 4x4-type vehicle I've ever owned for slick roads.
