Building a New Platform
No more mini van. Needed more repairs than it was worth so started looking at new options
Ended up with a 2011 Rav4, a 10yr upgrade :) Have 7 days to decide if I can deal with the less space.
It's quite the change! But I'm hoping the AWD and higher clearance will be better for winter driving. Not that the last 2 winters were that bad but I'm sure a real Minnesota winter will appear again at some point.
Nothing fancy installed. But the cassette tape is traded for an auxiliary port ;)
In order to make use of the cargo space under the floor Adam had a great idea for building a cutout bottom plank to put a new platform on. Brilliant.
Missing in this pic is a 2nd piece for the bottom. It had to be 2 pieces to fit snugly on the floor.
