<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>Well the wife and I are going crazy trying to make a decision. So I thought I would get thoughts from the list. We currently have an 87' Syncro GL. I have installed a bed conversion, curtains, aux batt, and gauges among other things. I have had it for 4 years, it has 217K on the body and 85K on rebuilt 2.1L. It is very solid and dependable. We live in Colorado, and travel in the mountains A LOT. Doing 30mph at the top of the passes out here is getting old. Sooooooo. We are trying to decide between putting a Tiico engine in it, with some other cosmetic upgrades ($8-10K). Or get a new Eurovan ($$$$$). The biggest concern is does the camping convienence of the Eurovan out weigh the 4x4 of the Syncro. We are the type of people that when it dumps we are heading to the place the most snow is falling! We also go places like Moab a lot and camp in remote areas. We are actually planning a 6 month road trip in 2 years, this is were the convienience of the Eurovan comes in. If we kept the Syncro I suppose we could look into a side tent, anyone have one of these? Are they quick and easy to set up? So that is my delima in a nut shell. Leaving the financial aspect out of it, what would you do?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Randy Charrette</DIV> <DIV>87 Syncro</DIV></div><br clear=all><hr>Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: <a href='http://g.msn.com/1HM505401/43'>Click Here</a><br></html>
