    Any 2wd vans on the roads to Patagonia?

    Hi folks, I'm looking for inspiration! Are you heading through North, Central and South America in a 2wd van? Know of anyone who has? Can you share their links please? I'm living in a 2003 dodge b1500 van, converted very simply. Two dogs, one human, no plans. We've done 52,450 miles across...

    Baja in a Dodge b1500 van with 2 dogs

    I thought I'd catch you up on the last 2 months driving through #baja on my own in an old conversion van. I'll add photos to start but will add info later on routes and beaches found. Oh, and my radiator died at Coco's Corner, limped it to Bahia de Los Angeles then towed to Guerrero negro.

    WTB Camper Van with room to stand up inside!

    Hi there, I am on the look out for a van to live and travel in. I wander around the US and soon to Mexico with two dogs, kayak, mountain bike and a DR200 on a hitch mount rack. Good clearance although I probably can't afford 4x4 even though I'm used to having that. Basic inside is fine, bed...

    Elockers?

    Hi, Anyone had Eaton's Elockers installed? I'm looking for a good locking differential for a 2wd 2003 B1500 van. Rather than get a 4x4 as well as the van, I want to get this upto scratch. Dirt roads but winter highway driving too. So not just to get me out of stuck situations but for safer...
