Where do you get a 4WD Toyota minivan? I thought Quigley or Mercedes were the only options for 4X4 vans in the United States.
Toyota Sienna has been available with AWD in the US for over a decade

Just ask @cosine he knows!
From the title of this thread I thought it would be much more tragic than it turned out to be :)

The Sienna can be had in AWD, which this one is. I then
  • lifted it an inch and upgraded the suspension components
  • added KMC wheels with all-terrain tires
  • added wheel flares and blacked out the lower rockers to match
  • added tow hooks
  • added rally lights
  • blacked out the headlights and upgraded to HID projectors
  • added dual exhaust
  • added a hitch
  • added retro style graphics and TRD stickers

Nobody ever got laid for driving a minivan, but they are practical as hell and comfortable. I can appreciate that.

We enjoyed the usefulness of our when we had kids. Remove the seats and it had a ton of hauling capability. Then when they came out with electric sliding doors that was great to though our first minivan in 1990 didn't have that option yet. My eldest just upgraded to a minivan after their 2nd child was born. A nice Honda Odyssey but the darn thing MSRPs more than my JLU Wrangler!

Sorry the 4X4 sticker fooled me. I was thinking it has low range.

Hell I thought you traded for a 4 door. You really bought a minivan. Good news is, now you have 2 of them. :bandit::CWL:
we still have 4 wranglers left even though the white one barely qualifies as it’s a 2wd lol. We have plans for that one on a 4wd conversion with the rubicrawler.

I get the hitch, headlights and functional bits, and trying to make a minivan look less dorky is certainly understandable, but why would you want/need to drop any dough on a lift and suspension bits for any van that is not a Sportmobile overlanding rig?

In complete candor, I once outfitted a Honda Element with an Ursa Minor pop top tent and briefly contemplated a lift until I realized the futility of trying to off-road/overland an AWD vehicle. It would never occur to me to do anything like this to a Sienna.
