I am in need of a windsurfing vehicle. Thinking of truck, van, suv. Roof racks needed. Needs to be able to take road to Nitinat. Pretty much still open to anything reasonalble right now. I had a 4x4 Ford Ranger with canopy and racks which would have been perfect....ya, sold it. Bad decision. Anyways, if you have or know of something please let me know. Needs to be under $10k.
Thanks!!

4 cylinder 2WD Ranger... your best friend. Cheap on gas, lightweight so you can fly over potholes with a robust suspension, cheap to fix.

http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified- ... C_21518869 a few of these around even much cheaper, this one's looking in decent to nice shape tho....if pictures don't lie
AND it's local, looks solid and taken care of...little things like the window rain shades, decent curtains, tire cover intact, clean looking cushions, no dents in bumpers, fender flares intact, BFG all terrains, solid decent one piece mirrors, all windows open incl rear ones....
Not sure about fridge or cooking facilities, no pix....Like the layout on this one with storage up high AND sails under the bed perhaps, porta pottie or surf bins in back, possible rack on top with ladder or lg board/SUP rack on the side bolted onto the fiberglass top, bullet! Yeah, one of the better ones I have noticed...best of all it's NOT a Ford

While the GMC is a nice van the roof design sucks for carrying windsurf gear unless you don't mind having it all inside. Would be better suited for a kiter.

I have a 1995 Pathfinder 4X4. My son had it for 2 years and the bumpers are dented but I had the brakes done and the front boot repaired recently. It needs some work on the clutch soon but I drove it to Nitinat last summer. Has a Thule rack.
It's in Nanoose. A couple hundred and it is yours. Comes with a BWD sticker.

so this one is still up for grabs, my daughter wasn't into the project. Seems like the perfect Nat mobile to me
with some cleaning up and TLc this could serve someone for quite a while surfing or skiing
