OK I am not a Syncro expert (as anyone on the List can tell you) but doesn't
the syncro have a subframe under the normal body which a 2wd Vanagon doesn't
have?  Wouldn't this add to the weight as compared to a 2wd?  If I am wrong
please tell me.
Also aren't the front springs on a syncro different because they mount to a
plate on the front strut while the 2wd Vanagon front springs are not mounted
on the strut?
Inquiring minds want to know...
