1989 4WD DLX

My jeep and westfalia camper junked out, so i decided to sell them both and started looking for a 4wd toyota van (the only vehicle that could take the place of my two previous cars!) after test driving my friends '89 2wd. I wanted a 4wd though for some of those more adventurous camping trips hopefully coming up this summer (i am considering driving around the US fer a couple months if i can make it happen)! I found the perfect van for me that was nearly in mint condition (especially for a 14 year-old van) with only 157K miles on it...unfortunately it was over in colorado. I decided to fly there with my girlfriend and drive back - made a trip of it and drove it back to Portland, OR - its new home! I took out the rear seats as soon as i got home and am trying to organize the setup in the back for camping. I want a more permanent seat/bed and all of the camping essentials by the t ime summer comes around!

service to date

• oil/filter changes
• new double wipers
• brighter headlights

work planned for the van:

• install stereo system & roof rack
• lift? & bigger tires! better shocks?
• better battery setup
• roof vents
