2006 Grand Suzuki Grand Vitara with Custom Off Road Teardrop Trailer

Freeradical

Hi folks! We are considering getting rid of our current rig/trailer to fund our next build. I wanted to get an idea of what you all think it's worth (and if anyone is interested). It is very reliable and tows like a dream presently doing a tour of 20+ National Parks. We get 12-14mpg towing and 20mpg without the trailer. The Vitara has 4x4 H, H locked, and Low Locked. It has been well cared for and is ready for adventure. We started a month ago and are finding that the teardrop isn't large enough for our needs (adventure platform and mobile office). Good news is we can deliver or meet up to show it depending on where you are at.

Currently in Utah.

Know Problems: control arm bushings need replacing sooner than later, plenty of scratches and nicks on both the trailer and car (its seens some brush/mud), salvaged title on car, clean title on trailer, exoskeleton frame isn't perfect, could use a proper 12v refrigerator.

Recent work: Newer Tires, Coolant and Brake Fluid flush, tie rod ends, suspension lift all around.

Description below or at our website http://www.thewandertwins.com/2017/01/06/the-wander-wagon-is-almost-complete/

15k OBO. We are willing to sell just the trailer too. That would be 12K OBO. Though in my opinion they are better as a package (and have matching rims and tires).

I don't often get an opportunity to be awesome AND help out a fellow Oregonian . . . :)
