Tire choice is big in a 2wd van. I'd constantly get stuck with the 28" highway tires but these bigger all-terrain tires did quite a bit better. A locking differential will be a big help too.

For fishing, I made a few hooks that hang from the ceiling. I can hang my rods on them and they dont get broken and are out of the way for other cargo.

Wish I had a 4×4 chair but that's out of pocket stuff maybe some day. But do have a power chair I'm trying to make more off pavement friendly to. But that's other topic. Paralyzed as I can't stand up at all. About fishing thing I thought of that but was thinking about just getting a rod holder for like a boat. That fits where I have space but the rope could work tell then thanks

The only benefit of a lightning engine is the intake manifold set itself. It is an EXCELLENT piece in terms of air flow. If you have access to one of these, by all means use it. Or sell it. They are worth a small fortune. The heads may be GT40s, which are decent. Leave the injection and harness, as they arent really any different than yours.

My uncle is also pretty well paralyzed from the waist down. He can stand to get into the bed or van, and use the toilet, but that's it.
