Last night I replaced the drivers side door handle. Holy crap what a nightmare. I would like to meet the engineer who designed the door handle set up. I would shove his head in a toilet, and I wouldn't bother to flush. I curesed and sweared for 2 hours, trying to get the top nut threaded back onto the new door handle. ](*,)

Jeremy, you have now partially undergone your initiation into all things Astro/Safari. Congratulations. To complete the initiation you must change the sparkplugs in your van. :D

Welcome aboard. :supz:

Thanks, so far we love the van. I think I'm gonna look into cranking up the torsion bars a little, and a rear add-a-leaf.
