1998, 80k miles. Hope it is a s nice as the photos.
has all the goodies except a dvd player . and the seats I wanted that have the console betwen them ( 2nd and 3rd row ) but it looks OK.
Now I have to fix the 97. Aren't you glad you didn't buy it ! J/K had the diff blown after you bought it we would have worked something out.

they are currently rolling on the 93. the plan is to refinish them to match the cladding on the 99. if they don't look any good on there, i'll refinish them black again and sell em

So you still have the 97'? You starting a collection or what?
Nice ride, btw =D>

Don't quote me on this but i have been told by a few techs that the only diff between astros and safaris aside from the obvious front end is in a safari theres more sound deading material to create a seemingly higher quality ride..
