Fresh back from Vegas, SLC, Moab, Telluride and Carbondale, Colorado! This is a 1984 Dodge Van with extended body 4x4 van - V8 engine that always starts, runs smooth and drives great! Originally a CA vehicle, so it's a clean runner. It has a lift, 4x4 drive train and a high top as you can see in the photos. It's reliable, tight and mechanically sound. Engine rebuilt around 90K, so it's fresh and solid. It's a great opportunity to create your own / finish this home build or have someone add in the rest for you. We've camped in it, driven it around town and all over the Western US and had a lot of fun.  We've owned it for a few years and hate to see her go. Reliable and fun traveling all over OR, CA, ID, CO, UT and more. A great camper, mobile hunting cabin, home-built Sportsmobile-type rig, surf van, Baja traveler or whatever you want to do! Just won runner up in Van Life competition in CO.

+ Brand new custom memory foam cushions in back -- leatherette for easy cleaning and comfort ($600) -- never slept on, but super comfortable

Other things to note in general:
- This is a project or finished, it's up to you - the interior isn't "finished" but we built it to our needs / wants. Mechanically, this is a solid vehicle, but you can make it your own on the inside. The hard work is done (rust mitigation, insulation, some interior build out) but from above the line of the van / high top, it's insulated, but not finished. We left it this way to put surfboards / paddleboards inside the van for safety
- comes with spare tire
- no back bumper
- custom front bumper is ready for a wench
- has a/c but it's currently disconnected
- heat / defrost works great!
- always starts right up no matter what, but is a little slow to get warmed up when it's very cold out (below 10 degrees)
- all glass in tact and sealed
- new-ish paint
- up to date service

Comes with all receipts, jack, Hayes manual and a few other parts (extra seat belt, tail lights, filters, etc.) and is ready to roll. Also has blueprints for interior options.

Title in hand for easy sale.
Delivery is 100% buyer's responsibility - I will help arrange pick up.

Australian consumer activists destroy a Dodge Journey with a tank

Thu, Jun 30 2016

An Australian couple held an event where they crushed their unreliable and frustrating Dodge Journey with a retired army tank. According to Drive, Kate and Joe Masters owned an infuriating 2010 Dodge Journey that they claim was plagued by mechanical and electrical issues. After numerous failed attempts on their part to get the issues fixed by Fiat Chrysler and Dodge Australia, the couple decided that they'd had enough. Working with Queensland consumer advocate Ashton Wood, the Masters held an event where they smashed the Dodge with a sledgehammer and fired arrows at it. Finally, they rolled out a retired Centurion Mk.V tank and proceeded to crush the doomed Dodge monster truck-style. Fiat Chrysler issued a statement refuting many of the Masters' claims about both its vehicle and the steps taken to remedy the situation. The company claims that the vehicle was serviced outside of its dealer network and that the Masters did not work through established consumer complaint channels established by the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. "We had attempted to work proactively with this customer, offering free service work and free genuine parts after their warranty had expired," FCA said in a statement. "While Dodge Australia was keen to resolve this issue, we weren't in the position to issue the demanded refund of $43,000 for a vehicle purchased in 2011, that was driven for more than 100,000 kilometers (62,137 miles) and that has no known manufacturing defects, nor had any evidence provided by the owners to substantiate these claims. Queensland senator Glenn Lazarus, who was involved with the tank event, stated that Australian motorists need better consumer protections against automotive dealerships and manufacturers. "Countries around the world have successfully implemented lemon laws to provide consumers with protection and I believe it's about time we did the same in Australia," he said. Destroying cars in a public act of frustration is nothing new. In China, a Lamborghini Gallardo owner smashed his luxury ride with a sledgehammer after he felt he wasn't given a premium experience at the dealership.
