New guy checking in. Well new to the site- no stranger to vans tho. I've always driven wagons or vans and my last two have been safari's. I picked up a '94 conversion when I got roped into being an assistant scoutmaster and needed to drive scouts and their gear all over creation. I let it go to upgrade to AWD when it became apparent the rear wheeler wasn't gonna be able to pull our troop trailer in and out of some of the places we camp. I haven't come close to being stuck with this thing and I admit to trying on occasion. Wish I had the resources available to have kept that '94, changed out the front clip and 4x4'd it. The kid that bought it is local so who knows, maybe it will find it's way back around.
So that's my story...
