High mileage hidden well.

My vote for best high mile presentation. 500 000km, and looks great!

@st80mnd Over 280k miles!

[ST80MND]

@long_voyager94 Indeed! But would you let it go for $4k?

[sony1492]

@long_voyager94 is it original drivetrain? In my mind most chassis could go until the ends of time with maintenance but mileage is relevant to how long the drivetrains gone without a rebuild.

That looks really good for over 310k miles. And for a SHO looking that good...I think it's a NP.

[ST80MND]

@long_voyager94 Also, I'm not a huge fan of vans of any type, but I gotta give you lots of cred for this! I have watched as you built that thing up, and I am super impressed with it.

sho off

[WhoIsTheLeader]

Such NP. That's one of the best looking SHOs I've seen and the high miles and immaculate interior make me believe I'm getting an impeccably maintained one by someone who knows what they're doing that would scare off the uneducated consumer who thinks low miles = better. I'm much more concerned with maintenance than miles after so many years.

515,000 km

Original drivetrain (minus regearing the diffs). Though right after this trip I did finally replace the original CV's up front for clicking on one side.

Ok, but thats kinda cheating though, don't you think?

This one is nice :

[Long_Voyager94]

@st80mnd I mean I probably wouldn't turn down $4k cash.

@sony1492 It was original drivetrain til 205k, at which I replaced it due to the trans finally giving up. Since then it's had a rough ride with getting the engine I wanted in it, but that's finally sorted.

@rusty-vandura

I got a buddy that swears by these. It started when his Toyota pick up would get vandelized parked at the union jobsites in the city. So he switched over to these. They last long and run on zero maintainence.

@sdwarf36 By "these," do you mean Astros and Safaris, or something else?

[sdwarf36]

Started with 2 wd Astro. Then discovered the 4wd version and has never looked back.
