@JKO1998 here ya go



not really 4 doors but room for everyone

 

Man that would be fun. If a 5.3 will fit so would a 6.

Put a transfer case in and lift it a bit…

 

@0xDEADBEEF you've really got me wanting another astro again

 

What happens if I accidently put brake fluid in my cooling system

Someone may have put brake fluid in a coolant bottle than I used it when flushing my tundra

 

Yea the guy who put that 5.3 in also installed a 4 in lift with full part time transfer case from a 1500. Cut the fenders some and it'll tuck 33s easy

Main drawback is the single fiberglass rear leaf spring. But it shares soooo much in common with the s10 its stupid easy to make em offroad capable

That's if it started its life as an AWD astro. That AWD subframe is essential for bolting on s10 4x4 parts. In the case of my personally owned Astros, I had to get a subframe from a junker to start the project and the older ones are so far and few between it would an expensive project to end up still looking like a pedophile

 

Why would you do this to me

 

lol

yeah that's a universally frowned upon look

 

Get a license plate that says NOTPEDO

 

So much for my usual FRECNDY

 

Start flushing lol.

 

What kind of rubber are you using for the inner fender liners? Need to trace my [redacted] customs liners before they completely disintegrate.

 

This stuff, 1/32” thick is same as what my oem ones are

You just reminded me of a hilarious story! Got introduced to this hoity toity kinda gal through a friend's gf. We all went camping and, as I was living out of my astro at the time, didn't set up camp when we stopped on the trails cause I only needed to park on level enough ground and boom! Instant sleep space. Well as drinking happened and the night progressed she ended up passing out in the back with me.

Her friend and my buddy plus his other friend left early early morning cause they never set up a tent and none of them could sleep in his Cherokee comfortably.

Well, I wake up realizing I've got an hour and half to get to work with at least an hours drive to make it back to town. This chick slept like the fucking dead, I couldn't wake her up to save my life. So I get dressed, hop in the driver's seat and start the trip down the mountain. Part of the way down the fear dawned on me that if I got pulled over I would have a hell of a time attempting to explain why I have a gal in her underwear passed out on a mattress in the back of this windowless van

Thankfully she woke up, got dressed and hopped in the passenger seat and the look on her face echoed the "walk of shame" look without anything having happened between us. The first question out of her mouth is "soooooo.... is this just an offroad/camping rig you built? It's not you're only vehicle right?"


"Nope! This is all I've got" gah the awkward silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife

 

After that very awkward interaction that gal would constantly send me free candy van pictures and memes she found on the internet lol

 

it's too bad you didn't have this CD on you at the time to lighten the vibe

Does it include stretch and grunt?

Slap knees, stand up, and say "welp, looks like it's about that time?"
