what tyre pressure are you running? Are you using the correct tracking settings for the 4x4? My experience is best results are at the toe-out side of the spec...

This sort of van always tends to that wear pattern.
The problem is the wieght over the driver's side wheel when there is only one person in it.
A friend of mine had a mitsubitshi van that did it no matter what. His fix was very crude - he carried a bag of cement in the front passenger side - to even out the wieght problem.

I would have thought a proper alignment to the spec mentioned in Ace Answers would reduce the problem, although there is almost always a tendency to wear the outside edges. (Especially if driven with gusto!)
