If you want a 4x4 van then you will have to find one with a conversion done. Just to warn you they are far from cheap as ones with 100k mikes will still go for around 15-20k. Quigley, Pathfinder & Sportsmobile are the biggest ones, they only deal with brand new vans that get delivered to them from the factory and the conversion alone is 10k +. Check around you can find them for fairly cheap if you know where to look . If you just want a tall mean looking van Camburg makes lift kits for the 2wd vans and they look . Hope it helps start looking, I would put out links but am trying to find my own and don't want somebody to snake it out from under me .

Has anyone had any experience with one?
Yeah, when I was a little kid, I had an experience in a van just like that one. It was horrible and I felt like it was my fault and now I cut myself.

Re: vans for hauling bikes

all my friends seem to think i'm a pirate, and a pirate needs a ship.....so here's my ship, it's named the "Black Pearl"......i have a 2000 gmc sonoma that i've driven accross the country in a few times, which actually used to look decent until i wrapped it around a tree, there's a great story behind that as well, make sure to ask me if you see me in person.....back on the pearl, this thing is god damn famous in my town, everybody gets a kick out of the fact that i park my truck and drive this thing every chance i get.....WHY wouldn't you want to drive around with your bike inside all the time??? if your bored and want to hit a lot, your bike is with ya!!!

now here is something really special...a ******* compass.....this isn't an ordinary compass however......it never stops spinning when your driving, you could be going due south and it would say your going due north if it ever stops spinning....entertaining at the least

this van is an 87 with only 3k miles, the beauty of an 87 is they never figured they would go over 100,000 miles, so my title reads 3k miles :-)

Re: vans for hauling bikes

I just bought a 94 dodge caravan, the seats all come out and it holds one bike great, it COULD hold two, but it'd be a pain in the ****.

Re: vans for hauling bikes

I would KILL for a dodge sprinter... I heard they are pretty expensive... My company uses cube vans... ie: 2007 ford e450 with 20 foot and sometimes bigger boxes on them.. and some have lift gates, the others have a pull out ramp... I wanna try to buy one off of them, hopefully they will dump an old mitsubishi... problem is they like teh mitsibishi's cause when the POS fords wont start they resort tyo the mitsu's which turn over evey time whithout missing a beat
