Thanx for the links, it helps when you know somethings been field tested.

Any pictures you see of a vehicle, can Surely be be Deceiving, without the seller even trying to. I went and looked at a 78 Dodge Transvan today, that didn't look bad on GL, but had alot of rust underneath, even tho it had a Good safety insp sticker.

Never hurts to be prepared, especially when going offroad.

I would do some research on the terrain of the sites you plan to Rock climb at, and see what type vehicle would suit you best. While it would be Great to have a monster 4x4, a 2wd with a winch or some type of pulling device might provide all the help needed in a rough area. There ARE many...

I'll probaby go with some type of foam next time,in the 97.<br />I have a foam hospital bed mattress, i'm going to try in the Night Train, for winter.

A rust neutralzer, or atleast a heavy coat of oil based primer inside the van,&nbsp;and a used oil undercoat sprayed under side will extend the Life of rusty metal fairly well.

If it checked out OK, I'd buy it and save for a Gear Vendors O/D unit.<br /><br />&nbsp;My 97 only gets 14.6, the 74 get around 12, looking to cange Both to O/D Trans eventually.

There are GOOD and BAD in every brand, have it checked out thoroughly, and take it and your mechanic for a good drive. Issue mentioned in this post are valid, and O/D trans are sometimes problematic and must be given careful scrutiny.

You could buy a nice domestic van, and have it setup nicely for a 1/3 of that.

Good to hear its been located, hopefully without too much dammage. Damn I hate it when someone STEALS a Dream.

I'm sure Life is so much Better when you're able to use the Luxuries, and NOT have to worry about running out of Power.
