Well I took a look at the '84 yesterday and it wasn't what I had expected. You can't tell from the photo but it had a LOT of rust issues and the interior was a total disaster. It was a lot more project than I wanted to tackle. The engine and drive train were in exceptional condition though. What a s...

Condolences, I feel your pain. Mine was totaled last weekend while I was floating a river. The shuttle driver ran off the road and rolled it. He is in the hospital and improving the van however is dead. I'm at a loss, I don't want to go through the process of building a new one. Not sure what vehic...

Well guys, it's been a while since I posted last and a LOT has happened since then. First off we sold my wifes '98 Astro to get her a newer vehicle. Picked up a sweet 2004 Volvo XC70 AWD Turbo. It's a very nice car. Secondly we've had 3 new grand children. 2 boys and 1 girl. And lastly and most sadl...

Drove to church

Here's what I have. It's made by Valley Industries and I added the extension kit. I've hauled a lot up there. Never slept on it though but my kids and their friends have sat in it on occassion...

From the picture you posted it doesn't look like the connector is secure. That green ring is supposed to slip over the spring clips (you can see them just in front of the ring in your photo) towards the radiator. Those clips lock into the green ring (at the slots in the ring) and secure the tranny l...

Cool! I think I did that once before but not sure. I know I put it on a site similar if it's not the same one.

My new toy a 1996 GTX 804 EzGo (gas) with a 4" Jakes Lift and Swamp Fox AT 22X11-10 tires, ready for next years hunt:

Hey nice pics FFT! I'm a Florida native and I must say camping here is a wonderful experience...just don't venture into the woods to camp in the late Spring, early Summer months. Way too many mosquitos and very warm...not a pleasant experience to say the least. Your kayak fishing rigs look awesome! ...

If you want to go the "camper" route without having to cut the top then I would use the setup like I have and set the vans interior up with the modified "Westy" camper goodies. I'd love to find an old style VW camper to cannibalize. Then I wouldn't need to set up the additional s...

Hi Guys, We returned from our annual North Florida hunt/camp trip last Sunday but I am just now able to post some of the pictures. We took 3 deer, one 4pt and two spikes. The farm where we were is so overrun with deer the owner wanted us to take some doe as well but he didn't get the tags this year ...

if you live close by (Cleveland, Ohio) I save the console from my 96 Safari before I scrapped it. was thinking about putting in my 94 high top Astro, but got rid of it as well.... three of them last year... I saved the front, and rear doors, the console, an extra set of mirrors and brake lightes an...
