Hi guys. I sold the 80 the other day..:frown: Had to. But I already miss it. I think I can get one of the 4x4 toyota vans for cheap. I am on a very tight budget. I would appreciate it if you guys would pass any you see along. I want to do a expo build w/ cool build out of the interior.

Thanks
 
Have you ever driven one of those?

It's a bad combination of a short wheelbase, high center of gravity and low power! Early '90's, I drove one from LA to Vegas in a 30 mph cross-wind and thought I was going to be killed!

During development, we drove those in San Francisco and stopping at the bottom those steep hills was scarier than any trail I've ever been on! It would just about stand on it's nose. And the 4WD version is worse!

I do recognize the cool factor and delivery people love those because they can just about turn around in their own length. I'm just saying be sure you feel comfortable driving it and especially putting your family into one before you jump in.

I don't know what they're like on a trail, but I did see YouTube of one on the Rubicon once. I don't know if he made it all the way through in one piece.
