The
first time I drove a Toyota Van was in the winter in a friends LE
4WD. I'd been wondering what might replace my old Subaru. It took
about 5 minutes and I was sold. I searched for several months, really
wanting a stick. I saw this old white beater 4WD turn out of a driveway
and followed it. "OK, maybe we do want to sell" It was
an automatic, but had the coolest windows and interior... I paid
$500 for it and went to work within a few weeks. Good candidate
for a swap- the automatic in the car had been rebuilt no less than
5 times and was leaking ATF again!
I've turned the 'beater' into one of the smoothest vans I've seen.
We sail down the freeway and blast into the mountains. I stop anywhere
I please and catch some z's. Most of the camps are pretty nice spots.
The old Toyota Van may be the best traveling car in existence for
a combination of low cost and great ride.
I work on and modify these vans on a custom basis. (See the Gallery
for some pictures.)I usually have a few for sale, only 4WD's though.
