Hello from the Pacific Northwest

Just wanted to introduce myself, I just picked up my 1995 AWD Astro from the original owner. It's an LT, 4 captains, no 3rd row, dutch doors, all original. Just what I was looking for during my search. This is my 2nd Astro, the first doesn't really count as I paid $800 for it, and used it to move across country, and then sold it.

I plan to use the van as my daily, but it will also become my camping rig to explore the northwest (Originally from AZ). I am going through everything maintenance related first, then it will get new tires, I would really like to do a 4" or even just a 2" lift, but that may have to wait a while. It will eventually be transformed to be a very functional, reliable gtfo out of the big city rig for us.

Welcome aboard neighbour.
X2 on the lift .

BTW: I paid about 800 bux or less for a couple of my 5 vans, (400 for my 95awd-RIP) they all counted.

Lots of people around the NW on here..I dig it.

Dash Point is a small town by the puget sound nestled between the King/Pierce county lines.

I had to take a look at the map to see exactly where Dash Point is. It sounded familiar... and then I saw it was south of Des Moines! I was born in Seattle and lived on North Hill, just out of Des Moines, until I was 12 and we moved to OR.
