Hi! New member from Sulphur, Oklahoma.

Post by JTalley »

Hi! I'm Jake. I'm 16 and I just got my Astro on the 19th. His name is Ed, and he's a 1992 with RWD and the 4.3l V6.I traded my old Blazer in for it. Hopefully by joining this forum I can make some new friends and learn a bit about my Astro.
Here's a picture of me with the van.

Yep. I see him driving down the street every now and then. I've even gotten scrap leather for projects from his dumpsters.

B&M stacked plate trans cooler. Bilstein shocks. Belltech sway bars front and back. New head unit, speakers and subwoofer. Needs paint and a new headliner.

name's Steve
I can't remember all I've forgotten about that....
