I like the back end of your van. The back end is usually pretty un-spectacular (in my opinion) on the vans, but the taillights and custom bumper give it a nice look.
I hope mine gets to looking that good someday..

we might come that way, last time I did it was along weekend, never again, we had to pass about a dozen cars what a nightmare running your tyres along the edge of a couple of hundred meter drop with tourists hanging there camera's out the window not watching where there going.
we will be in an old fj 80 land cruzer with no roof, so could be frozen & dusty when we get there, it gets cold at night & they expect a cold snap comin.

last sep was nice & green, we went for a week on boxing day, & it was dry & dusty again, they have had some strong storms with wind & hail, so I hope my camp is ok.
Well the zook is chained on the trailer ready, so I'll go pack the esky & go.
