So, I've been lurking and getting lots of great info, but I'm not much for joining. Then this A.M. I am checking stats on my photo galleries and lo and behold one of the images got more hits than normal yesterday.

That's a nice looking Astro in the picture. A 2000 with a lift kit, some custom mods and running BFG all terrain radial T/A's goes most places it's aimed at and has a custom built rack to hold gear in the back with a bench seat on the otherside that slides out into a 6 ft bed. This is my photography platform and has been all over the west, Cascades, Rockies, beaches and desert. I love my Astro, just turned over 200K and is still going strong.

The image is signed and copyrighted, but since your not using it for commercial purposes no problem.

Enjoy your new ride,

P
I don't know where I'm going, but I'm going anyway!
