Then I found a Mitsu Delica 4x4 diesel for sale just over the border, and its going to be 25 yrs old soon, so would be easily imported, and at a great price (they go for a premium in Canada). If I get a response from the owner I'm going to have to go up there and check it out. Things just got real!...

Hey guys, Can a 6'6" freak of nature sleep in the back of a Astro comfortably? I searched for the dimensions of the Gen 2 Astros and could not find the dimensions of the cargo area. Yes, you should be able. We have 81 inch long bed in our Astrid and still enough space for 20L water tank betwee...

Unless you hate rain and gloom like I do, then it kind of sucks for 9 months of the year. That's because you live on the wrong side of the Cascades! Come over to the eastern side and you can enjoy a lot more sunshine! :muhaha: Tell me about it my man! Ha ha... I do get over that way whenever I can ...

If you ever get up to Bellingham, you're welcome to check out my van. [http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee258/wannahuckmastinky/null_zps80eb3d24.jpg/img] Also there is a shop in Issaquah called Das Mule that was formally a Vanagon guru that is now doing Astros. Silver bullet and I attended a Das ...

But in all reality, the Astro AWD would probably be a better fit and a no hassle purchase vs importing a 25 yr old Japan market car. But I do love the idea of a little diesel 4x4 van that can be configured like a transformer. These things are eight passenger S-10's. The parts swap possibilities are...

I searched for the dimensions of the Gen 2 Astros and could not find the dimensions of the cargo area. Can anyone tell me the rough dimensions from say the back of the drivers seat to the rear doors? Here's my favorite resource for all great Astro measurement data Bingo! "Rear door to front se...

So I spent half the insomnia night reading about Astro/Safari's, lift kits, tongue weights and my head is spinning. Then I found a Mitsu Delica 4x4 diesel for sale just over the border, and its going to be 25 yrs old soon, so would be easily imported, and at a great price (they go for a premium in C...

I hope you realize how good you have it. All that wide open space. I'm stuck here fighting for every inch. No place to wheel-freakn hate it. I do have the ocean tho and that's a major plus. I have a theory about living by the ocean. If you look at a political map of the US all the red states are in...

"Before too long"... I see what you did there-that's funny. Oh man, you are giving me WAY too much credit, never even realized the little joke there, ha ha, very good! And thanks everyone for the tips on the seating issue, I will be checking that out once I start shopping. It's pretty muc...

I'm pretty sure I've had a full sheet of plywood in there (4x8), but can't remember for sure. Ah right on! I googled "can you fit a 4x8 sheet of plywood in a astro van" and the answer is YES! Excellent. http://www.astrosafari.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2452 Additional info from that thre...
