What did you do to your GMT today?
So... that doesn't make them stupid. They just didn't expect anyone would be lifting a 4-door minivan.

Let me tell ya what, those AWD Astro Van's are sweet! Grandfather had one, and I'm not ashamed to admit at a down point, I drove a hand me down Astro Van around for 3 yrs. I'd rock one again!
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

I loved my '94 Raspberry Poly Extended Cab S-10. First vehicle I ever owned (and I hated pink), but it just looked cool and was a blast to drive.

It might surprise you to know that I already knew that. In fact your review of it in your build thread is what sold me on the Volant.

I saw one of those AstroVans (moderatley modified) successfuly descend the Borrego Drop off, and negotiate the following tight corners rather well. I was impressed, to say the least.
