Well, 
 That is for sure!  But, I try to take it pretty easy on my van these days.  Still I do get into some situations where the roads disappear. 

But,  my travels through a field or dirt road are nothing compared to what I’ve heard folks do with the synchros.    So I would not be overly challenging my shocks.

But, still amazed my basically one wheel drive van has made it to camping spots at the top of muddy wet meadows with the only bad thing being it would take me hours to hose out the mud on the return home.

These vans do provide much fun!

Now that I think about it, I did some really crazy things with my air cooled busses and they just kept on rolling along.
