Everything is in perfect condition. The 4x4 system is brand new, so you can be assured this van has not been abused off-road. The transmission was removed and inspected during the 4x4 conversion, and all new seals were installed.

The van chassis and motor have only 30,701 miles. The shocks, wheels, tires, front brakes, and front suspension are all new. The rest of the van has been inspected and everything is in excellent condition. This is probably as close to a new 4x4 van as you can buy in the used market.

Clean Carfax, no accidents.

I just drove the van from San Diego to San Francisco and it handles smooth, everything works excellent, and it shifts great. And it’s pretty fast for a big van!

Tons more pictures here.

Disclaimer: As some of you know, on occasion I purchase a van to convert to 4x4 and give Agile some business, and then to sell. I’m in it to make a couple bucks, because I want to spend more money on my personal van.

Wow that looks good. I love the disclaimer and if I could get my wife on board I'd be flipping some vans. It's just so much fun to think of all the possibilities!

The storage room in the back is nice, especially on an SB van. That's what we miss the most about our old van...room for camp chairs, cooler, etc.

Beautiful van!
Looks like one heckuva-solid rig.

And man....love that color....
...So cool to see an SMB that isn't the usual white/silver/beige (even though those are all sweet colors on SMB's too....)

As is already voiced here, GLWS!!!



*** As an aside question --- I noticed the listed 3.73 gearing.
With the V-10 motors, is that a preferred gearing with the 285 tires? (vs. going to 4.10?) Wondered if the inherent "extra grunt" of the V-10 motors happily pulls that gearing (and possibly even gets better highway MPG's than 4.10 would yield?)

my experience: The tire/gear/v10 combo works great with 3.73's. 4.10 is overkill and revs too high unless heavy towing or pushing tires up to 315's. The V10 is loafing along at 75 mph with a feather touch on the go-pedal with 3.73's.

rallypanam - Nice rig!!! GLWS!
