After months of lurking and research, I finally picked up my own Astro. It took a lot of looking to find an AWD passenger van with low miles, so I ended up flying from San Diego to Tucson to get it! Brought her home this weekend and now I begin the process of converting it to an overland camper. Its a 2003 AWD with just 52k miles on the clock.
Planned mods are a 4" Overland lift, NP233 (or maybe even an NP236?), pop-top sleeper (like T.Low's GTRV top), and a host of other interior camping mods so I can take my wife and young daughter camping in all the places that I used to go backpacking.
Build thread will commence as soon as I start tearing into it.
Cheers everyone and thanks for making this forum such a great resource!!
