Hey, I think the minivan is awesome. It belongs to the lady who is in charge of the U4WDA activities (Daynene?) and her husband who built it out of leftover parts. Rumor has it that it schooled a couple moderately built TJ's on Rattlesnake :greg:

Thanks, it was great to be on the trail with you again. We had a great group on RS. Saw you on the side of the road on the way back, chatting with your "friend". (bummer).

I'm curious, what frame did they put the Astro van body on? Does anybody know?

It's an Astro Van frame as well.

unlike other minivans of the time, the astro had a full frame....hmmmm that is giving me a great copycat idea...get one of those conversion van astros and toss some 60s under the sucker....and some 39.5 iroks on hummer beadlocks....hmmmmm and a removable top....hmmmmm

Maybe some Astro/Safari vans have full frames, but mine does not. It has a front sub frame, but the rest is unibody.

ooohhhh you have the newer one....I was thinking of the vintage of that particular astro...sorry...

the older versions were great...there was so much room under there that I once pulled a tranny from one of those suckers in under 20 minutes.

We had a great time, We had breakfast (very nice) met a few new people, Dad and son combo from Orem they have a flat bed toyota and a couple from St louis in a custom silver jeep. We went on the GPS course found 4 out the 12 pionts, wife and kids learned how to use the GPS also a big lesson in vehicle recovery. We end up being stuck for 1 1/2 hrs.
We played in the rodeo games, the wife and I are very competitve, I beat her in barrel race, she beat me in blind fold course, She let me win the tire tug because she wasn't going the ravine. Great time for the whole family
