WTB - 4wd adventure vehicle

Looking for anything you all got! Open to getting anywhere in the states to pick something up. Long story short I had too many issues with my van and I'm parting it out, looking for something a little bit smaller/ easier to take care of now. 

Bump! I'll buy your van if it fits in a parking ramp 

Bump 

Delica perhaps?

My 12 transit connect has gone from Mexico to Alaska with over 200 k on it. Still going strong in 40 below weather in AK. Would recommend

You selling? I love the idea of them. Heard a couple stories about the transmission but they sound great.

Not at the moment. Potentially in the fall, but I’d sell in AK. transmissions are a little funky, don’t like altitude. They act weird past 10k ft. Ford Focus drivetrain and motor essentially. That being said I’m on motor #2 and transmission #1. Knock on wood.

If you can find one for around 5k it’s a good rig with adequate clearance and good performance in snow being FWD. perfect stealth vehicle too, everyone from construction to IT guys use those vans.

Don’t overlook a killer deal on something like a sienna or oddesy. Some soccer vans have pretty great clearance with a ton of room and good stealth factor. There’s a few fairly recent threads comparing them on here with good info ive read. Usually significantly more affordable than other vans too.

That's interesting, never heard about the altitude issues but I can see it. I'll try to keep an eye out at bout that price! That's one of the biggest reasons I want one, they're so discreet.

Yea this is another route I'm looking, at a cheap sienna. I like the idea of going this route, but it's hard since I am looking all over the country since I don't want to buy another Midwest rust bucket, and there's a whole lotta minivans out there for sale.

Think of me in the fall! I go out to Cordova & Juneau about every other summer to visit family, so I'm around!

Yes I commented on this one! But the marketplace listing has been marked as sold and I'm not getting a response to messages. Which really sucks because I really wanted that truck!
