We have owned this vehicle for almost 2 years – but it deserves more use than we’re able to give it. We bought it from a previous partner of Equipt Expedition Outfitters who spared no expense prepping this vehicle for extensded overland travel use. During it’s tenure as an Equipt ambassador, it was used as a display vehicle both at shows and in ads, as well as participating in the well documented Mayan expedition - as featured in Overland Journal.
In the last 2 years it’s only seen 3,000mi of use, but a few of those miles were over some brand name passes in the Colorado high country. It performed flawlessly in all areas. It is an extremely comfortable vehicle to drive and camp out of (happily providing shelter during a 6” snow storm atop Taylor Pass).
This cruiser had a top-to-bottom checkout by Safari Unlimited in Grand Junction, CO in which many services were performed as preventative maintenance and it was given a clean bill of health. Compression checked – all good.
Current Mileage 242,000
