4WD van?
I have now seen two 4WD vans in my area. One was about an 89 and the other was a newer style. Did these come as an option or a conversion out of factory?

Aftermarket manufacturers take a standard van and convert them to 4 wheel drive.

I saw one for sale recently in PA. Big sucker, too. It was a retired rescue vehicle with a Pathfinder conversion, 12" of lift, 35" BFG M/T tires and powered by 460/C6. I guess the owner got tired of feeding it! No asking price was shown.

If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I just checked out the bathroom door and it isn't wide enough for my driveway, then I saw the 16' wide garage door just hanging there. Two rolls of duct tape later and a couple of 16D nails and I am sitting here waiting for winter . . . I can't wait.

I thought I read recently that Quadravan was still around but wasn't sure.

I wonder if they're available in Canada?
