It would seem that way, but it was just the luck of the draw. Figured I'd grab a pic of them side by side before the van gets hauled off to the scrappers.

One of my buddies sent me this Jeep video because this is a place where we are gonna go off-roading and camping with our buggies, dirtbikes and quads. You now being a Jeep guy I thought that you would enjoy, funnily enough there is an Astro in it also.

Sorry but that has to be the most lame ass four wheeling I have ever seen.

Nice Liberty Zam. Are you pulling any parts off the Astro? What about the powertrax and 4.11 gears?

Because parking is pretty limited, I can't keep the van around much longer. I was hoping to have it gone by now but have been so busy on my days off that all I've had a chance to yank out of it is my beloved stereo. As to the powertrax and 4.11's it kills me to think that they may end up at the scrappers Dean but I have no time or place to really try to work on it to save those. If I had the property it would sit out back and whoever needed anything could come by and scavenge but I don't have that option here unfortunately. Havn't even had time to yank that new EGR valve off yet ](*,) even the rad /alt and waterpump are only around 2 yrs old.
With it being a 95, it would have been the perfect parts van for you Bob.

You're just a grumpy old mountain man...LOL
Sure would be cool to explore up in an area like that scenery looked great, thanks for the vid link Darren.

What's it take to get it across the border? Hmmmm, might be time for a road trip! :-k It could sit out back here until parts are scavenged. I really hate to see all the good parts go to a scrap yard. Seems like somebody up there has to have some storage room.

hate to hear the van is going to be moving on. Kind of like a member of the family after all these years.

That rear end interests me, but I am both cash and time sort. 4.11s are a little more than I need, but I'm sure they would haul better than what I have in it right now.

Ya know...........if a few people were willing to cough up a few bucks for gas it might help Dean go get that van. There's a lot of good parts there. Dean, what would it take?
