Vans in TTC?

I  am  planning  to  build  a  4WD  van  as  soon  as  I  can  get  everything  together  to  start  to  working  on  it.  My  question  is  since  there  is  a  truck  category  and  a  buggy  category  for  TTC  is  a  van  excluded?  It  seems  to  me  that  there  doesn't  seem  to  enough  respect  or  bigtime  attention  for  the  van  as  jeeps  or  any  other  SUV. People  seem  to  ignore  them  as  capable  4WDs  because  they  are  too  hard  to  work  on  or  because  people  see  them  as  unsafe  because  of  the  way  they  turn  and  it  causes  rollovers.  I  think  that  this  goes  against  what  building  a  four  wheel  drive  vehicle  is    all  about  that  getting  out  on  the  trail  and be  able  to  hold  its  own  by  building  it  so  it  can  be  something  that  is  built  by  anyone  that  isn't  afraid  of  a  little  hard  work.  When  we  don't  like  how  something  works  or  parts  break  aren't  we  better  for  it  because  it  helps  to  make  any  4WD  better?  Isn't  that
four  wheeling  is  all  about-  making  a  vehicle  better  so  we  can  get  out  there  and  have  fun  and  learn  new  skills  as  mechanics  and  people  who  like  to  get  there  and  explore  the  great  outdoors?  People  shouldn't  look  at  the  van  because  of  the  bad  things  but  instead  the  good  things,  which  are  lots  of  room  to  haul  camping  supplies,  spare  parts  and  people  who  have  never  been  four  wheeling  before  so  that  they  can  get  out  and  see  the  great  outdoors.  They  also  have  the  same  engines,  rear  suspensions and  rear  axles  that  trucks  have.  It  shouldn't  be  hard  to  bolt  up  a  4WD  transmission  and  transfer  case  an  get  a  couple  of  driveshafts  made.  Yes  the  front  suspension  and  steering  are  definitly  a  challenge  but  hey  it's  not  like  it  hasn't  been  done  before  right?  I  would  love  nothing  more  than  to  build  one  and  get  it  out  onto  the  trail  or  into  TTC  or  any  four  wheeling  event  so  that  people  might  see  that  vans  are  more  than  the  black  sheep  of  4WDs  that  gets  the  brunt  of  everyones  stereotypes.  Thanks  for  taking  the  time  to  even  look  a  this.  Any  replies  to  this  would  be  greatly  appreciated.  

There have been a couple vans in TTC over the years. It seems the biggest problem was the center of gravity was up high and there is a lot of body to get damaged.
