Ohh now you are just showing off...
that's a great looking van.. I do want to ask what treatment you used on the bumpers? they look great..
I would ask why ytou would need a HUMMER to pull it out. but I did look in your gallery at the frozen in the ice images.. Fryeburg is a tad up north, I've passed thru it in July coming out of NH to Portland.. very nice country you have up there. and I hear yoru Fair is quite something..
I'm planning a ~5day fall foliage trip to Franconia Notch this September, and will likely do the Kanc and circle the White Mtns. I'll wave when I pass nearby

Wondering how you like those Cooper Discoveries. I always liked the Cooper car tires I've used in the past. Those are on my short list of possible tires for the Syncro, in 16".
Right nice looking van, by the way. And pretty country up there in the North Woods.
