VIDEO INSIDE! 2003 Chevy Astro AWD Lifted Full Custom Adventure Sportsmobile Van

2003 Chevrolet Astro Description

Super clean 2003 Chevy Astro AWD built for fun going up for sale..
YES, it's not stock, YES, it's a "I really don't want to sell it" price far above blue book, but this is NOT a blue book van!
THIS IS A 7 DAY OFFERING ONLY, I AM NOT GOING TO RELIST IT!
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH ANY POTENTIAL BUYERS BEFORE SELLING IT!
(Thule cartop carrier/box NOT INCLUDED IN SALE)

Please be sure to watch the embedded video lower in description, it was made a few months back so disregard any specific info about mileage, condition
is exactly the same!
The basics:
-Vortec v6, solid as the day is long, minor oil leaks
(anyone selling you a vortec v6 claiming no leaks at all, is lying, VERY minor on this one, valve cover seals as best I can tell)
-Clean body, glossy paint, few tiny dings all around a solid 8/10
-Automatic (solid smooth shifting, recently serviced)
-Power everything except seats, and everything works
183,000 miles at time of listing, clean Oregon title
I personally did all the customizing, you don't even want to know how many hours I have into it!
Being sold ONLY because of financial hardship, this is/was a project of passion and I'm a nut for doing things right!!
New mechanical items since I bought it with 155k miles on it:
-4" Lift kit from Overland Vans (new rear leaf packs, new torsion keys & balljoint relocators up front)
-Rancho 5000 shocks all around
-Kenda Klever 30x9.5x16 M/t's on aluminum black wheels
-New control arms, wheel hubs & all new brakes up front, bearings etc...
-Axles (front)
-Transmission cooler
-Alternator, Optima yellowtop battery, oil return lines, plugs & wires, and many other smaller maintenance items I just cannot remember right now
New exterior customizing since 155k miles:

-3" tube light bar powder coated to match, holding two 7" Anzo HID floods lights mounted to an old school foot high beam switch on driver floor
-5000k top of the line Opt7 LED Headlights
-Rhino rack aluminum cargo basket with rear & side facing 35w LED floods mounted to 3 mini rocker switches in overhead console (lights up the night)
-2 flush mounted 35w LED floods mounted to rear bumper hooked to backup wire
4 35w LED floods mounted to sides & back of Rhino cargo rack
-6x8" smittybilt awning over slider/passenger door (not used once yet)
-Permanently mounted Yakima 54" fairing
-Rear mounted jerry cans, drivers side gas, passenger side is actually a disguised as a gas can toolbox ..
-Rear mounted pelican case, perfect for receiver hitch/tow strap & snow chains, a "dirty" box with padlocks
Van still has the original 2 rear seats, interior is just as clean as exterior, no pics at the moment but check out the video in description here.
New CD/Dvd deck, top of the line TomTom GPS mounted to swivel on dash, and a rad vintage coleman steel belted cooler that sits perfectly between front bucket seats for storage/refridge/armrest!

This is an AMAZING rig specifically built for getting out in the back country
This wasn't built to be a rock crawler or hard core wheeler, though it articulates in outstanding fashion and
has NEVER even given me a threat of getting stuck, it's a TIGER in snow & sand!
Current minor flaws:
Cracked windshield (I will get replaced as soon as a deposit is made on the sale)
Like most Chevy trucks/vans, has bad connection in ABS control module, so the "brake" dash lights come on intermittently, brakes are FINE
Throws a P420 code every 2,000 miles or so, just a bad sensor somewhere, doesn't affect anything, just annoying
A few minor interior flaws, drivers door armrest has cracks on it (very common on these vans), the flip down armrest on drives seat
has a broken pin on it so just kind of flops
Could use an alignment & rear brakes & bearings likely needed in the next 5-10k miles
I would get in this van & do a 5,000 mile road trip TODAY, it's READY TO ROLL!
AGAIN, THULE CARTOP CARGO BOX NOT INCLUDED!

I would REALLY like to talk to any potential buyers prior to purchase/accepting offer: 503.875.4557
