    just letting you know ford never made a 4x4 van they were all aftermarket conversions. Quiegly is the one company that makes them and they are near York PA. my speeling is wrong

    there was a compny named Pathfinder that went bankrupt around 1990.

    2008 KTM 525xc quad ----- HMF exhaust, HRE chromoly stem,
    86 trx 250r --- with after market chromoly frame and everything else done to it
    01 400ex --- with 86 trx 250r motor
    87 250x + 93 300ex both 350x powered
    2 = 86 atc 350x's
    86 atc 250r
    83 atc 185s --- from retired guy not ridden since 87

    Yeah I know all about the conversion company Quigley and Pathfinder. I am hoping to find a quigley conversion they used the coil spring front suspension (much better ride) I am not looking to go off roading just want to haul my 2 trikes and so next year I can go to Brapps and get down his driveway

    What happened to louis ? please let me know
    I am doing well I haven't ridden in awhile sorry to hear about your broken bones take it easy you will be fine in a few weeks.
    I think its time you buy a 1985-86 big red and just cruise the trails in style.
    Let me know when you can ride again so us Long Island Boys can come for a ride.

    4X4 Full size vans have for some reason held a special place on my "want list" of vehicles. I've never owned one but I'd love an early 80's chevy van with 33" or 35" tires. Everytime I see one I always tell my wife "Ohh Ohh, there goes my Van" as my neck snaps to get a glimps of the white elephant! You may also want to check out goverment liquidation sales, They're out there just gotta keep looking.

    I've always thought a 4x4 van would be the ultimate trike hauler. Been wanting one for ages.

    My cousin has one, well I’m not sure if he still has it out not I know it was sitting in his driveway for a while. I think his is a Dodge. I know he had the conversion done a long time back by a place in Michigan but it kept giving him problem. He has a plastic model hobby shop and would use the van to drive some of his stuff to shows.

    I either saw a Ford 4x4 van or it was 2wd but it had BFG All Terrains on it and it looked pretty bad ass.
