Much love given. Professionally lifted. Custom Interior. Fully serviced. Repairs under warranty.

Ready for #vanlife? Live anywhere. Go anywhere.

This is a very capable AWD van that has been restored and upgraded. It runs excellent, and I'm happy to take it off road to show you what it can do. I've never gotten stuck in harsh winter conditions or on rough forest service roads. I drove it to Mt. Bachelor all winter, and its a blast doing donuts in 6 inches of snow. I've owned it since May 2025 and have been restoring it ever since. I'm only selling because my wife is done with her garden business and I get my F150 back.

Vibe / Looks
