Well, technically it's a rock (a big one) and I was crawling up there so I guess I was rock crawling :)

I spotted you on the 405 North carpool as you were heading to meetup with George a few weeks ago. Saw the Agile sticker and snapped a photo for Ramsey then the next day out of the blue George sends a photo of you guys meeting. Small world.

Nice van!
 
Thanks guys!

Yes small world. George sent me that picture the following day, first time I see my van driving down the road. ;)

All that driving home was fine but nothing compared to finally hitting dirt this wknd.

The beast is alive!!! I deflated down to 20psi and hit the trails with a good friend of mine in his Nissan Patrol and a bunch of other SUVs. The ride is simply amazing! Maybe the extra weight helps but none of those smaller trucks could keep up to the big ambo! She just swallowed up all the bumps and kept asking for more.

Rock on!!!

True enough about the travel but there's more to this magic. Those shocks are dialled in just right and obviously the beefy tires play a big part (315-75r16). At first I was a bit concerned how the rear leafs would matched up the front end. Obviously the rear doesn't have the same ride quality as the front but so far it does a very good job and both the front & rear feel connected as it should. For a van close to 10,000lbs it's pretty impressive to witness!

Theres only one annoying thing so far with this conversion... Too many people ask me to roll down my window to ask what this thing is! Problem is I have manual window and it's a pain when they are on the passenger's side, Hahaha!

Cheers
David
