Just finished a 2,200 mile road trip from Crossley Ford in Kansas City to Southern Oregon, where hopefully this morning's rain will wash away the smoke from the last 6 weeks

Vlad2 (148" 250 HR Cargo AWD with Eco-Boost, Adventure Prep package, trailer package, swivel seats, Avalanche Gray) replaces Vlad, a 2005 Toyota Sienna van.

I've been pursuing the Forum for a year planning and now is the time to actually begin doing some work.

What way did you come home? Is the Avalanche gray what you expected?

Route: I-70 to Grand Junction, then Vernal, UT to Evanston, WY to Salt Lake City, I-80 to Winnemucca then “Winnemucca to the Sea Highway” (US 95 to Highway 140).

Avalanche Gray as expected:

Welcome!

Awesome! I replaced a 07 sienna with a 19 Transit and love it! Completed 7000 miles of trips this summer and it was great.

6 weeks? Feels like 12. Ugh, what a summer I'm in J-ville, where are you? I'm juuuuuuuust about through with my build, same van as yours, just a 2020.

Hey, I am just outside Jacksonville in Griffin Cr. We should all three get together and nerd out on our builds. We have all the infrastructure in and just moving onto the finishing stages. I have seen your van a couple times in J'ville, I have the same exact one but 2019.

Ha, I am off of Sterling Cr. Moving soon, but if we can get together within the next month, lets do it!

If a get together happens, may I please be invited? In GP and would really enjoy seeing what you each have done, lessons learned, etc!

Funny you should ask that! I went back-and-forth about 10 times on avalanche gray because every time I looked at the picture it looked different! I ended up getting carbon ice gray instead. It was a hard call cause I couldn’t find an actual van anywhere in the Pacific Northwest to go look at so it was all pictures online. I assume you have the same dilemma?

I was going back and forth with Abyss I finally got to see Avalanche a few weeks ago. It is a neat color that for sure changes depending on light. I wanted to stay as light so it isn't AS hot in summer
