Absolutely beautiful! I'm so jealous. Florida is as flat as it comes and I live in the hilly part of the state. Nice van too, cant wait to see more.

Wow that is a beautiful area. Van looks great too. Looks like I'm gonna need two astros. One lowered like i have, and now you've made a strong argument for a lifted one as well.

Re: '97 GMC Safari AWD BackCountryVans maiden voyage
^^ You guys must be thinkin' of someone else...I don't recall having any issues with any one or any site 
...just doing other stuff since getting my lift done.
The van is doing great! Very happy with the way I did the rear lift.
Too labour intensive to market tho...

Yup, since he got his pilots licence he has been suspiciously absent. Can you blame him ??T.Low wrote:Thanks, Loops. Good to hear from you.

If he can get a float plane he could takeoff from False Creek and land across from your A&W on the lake, walk up for a Papa Burger and a frosty root beer!
