So thank you all for following this but for now im just going to go driving

Very cool! That's almost enough incentive to go out in the shop and make me work on mine. Almost...

Thank you , now get out there an get busy lol

As always I forgot to put some info on the 4x4 conversion i did. The big thing was i had to lenthen the front drive line 6 inches so it would fit. both driveline an tcase were from a 96 s-10 blazer. I will now be replacing the engine this week due to metal shavings in the oil with a slight knocking. I have purchased a new engine with a 7year 100,000 mile warrenty for a lot of $$$$$$ . To update things as far as driving her around This was one of the BEST THINGS TO DO TO THESE VANS !!! It drives like a dream an its 4x4 capablility is awesome ! we had over a foot of snow hit this winter an i was pushing snow with the bottom of the bumper driving down the roads with no problems !

Thank you for nice photos of bumper relocation bracket and welded upper triangular stiffener.

The Overland 2" relocation bracket appears a bit weak

I am still not satified with the strength of my bumper mounts but for crash impact, a bit of crushable energy absorbsion could be a good thing.
I bolted my bumper brackets using uni strut plate, may need to have machine shop to custom bend and weld some pieces

I was working with no budget so it was make it work or fab it up. wow yours looks good to
