The van for serious van needs.  Being lifted, I wonder how tippy that would be.  On the other hand,  4wd components + body on frame probably mean the weight is still decently low..

They are. This was was definitely used, but it was in really good shape.

Is that really something one thinks about in a lifted van?

I mean, it’s a lifted van, it’s not a corner carver ;)

 Well,  maybe normal people don't think it, but having tried to carve one or two corners in an aged stock Sienna, I think about cornering with almost everything..  ;-)

 That's one hell of a Mormon Assault Vehicle.

Neat! The last one I spotted had a full wheelchair lift installed. All of this came spilling out as I was walking by, so I stopped to gawk. The fellow came rolling up behind me and we had a nice chat about the conversion.

The guy that owns this also has a wheelchair accessible trike based on a Harley. I had taken pictures of it a few weeks before. :)

A stock Sienna handles horrible. Like unbelievably terrible.

This likely handles better if we’re being realistic.

“Unbelievably terrible”  Yes, that sounds about right.

The other description I’d heard once was “like a top heavy marshmallow”.

As for whether an old school lifted van could out corner it? I think that’d be a van load of fun to test..
