It will make a great vehicle for camping. Snow won't be an issue for it either!

I showed my wife the pic of your 4x4 van and she said it's pretty great.
That's a huge compliment BTW. She thinks vans are nerdy and she's not impressed by trucks, nor any vehicle from another decade.

I know this is an old thread, but is your quadravan running coils in front? I want to run 33"s on my 86 and trying to figure out what lifted coils i can use - do F150 ones have same top and bottom to suit the van coil buckets?
Thanks!

Nice. Is it a Pathfinder conversion?
Here's my 1990 E250 Quadravan.

Nice van. I have a 91 4x4 campervan am looking for a front bumper or pre-runner. Yours looks really nice. Where did you find it? Do you know what brand it is?
Thanks!

It was on the van when I bought it. I had the van shipped in from Ontario, California 5 yrs ago. Sorry, but there is no name on the bumper. It could have been 20 or 30 yrs ago.

3rd Generation Fender Flares

Hi,

I am building up a 1985 Club Wagon 4x4 and would like a set of Fender Flares for it.
Can anyone tell me where I might still be able to get a set to fit my van?
Cheers,

Erniech
