OK guys...lets see your iron horses that get you there and back....
Oldies that have been modified or not from the 80s back...
And your new ones that HAVE been modified ONLY. (Not looking for stock trucks in late models from 90s forward).
(Note: This is NOT about ATVs, ....FULL SIZE Autos only)
Here's mine...
1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Love the FJ!
This is my hunting rig and my bow fishing rig.

I dig the FJ40 Terry, I'm a diehard old Toyota guy.
This is my pops 1969 Bronco. We have been driving it for 20 years now. Brought home my first deer and nearly every one since. I need to get around to painting it one day soon...

Here's my '87 Toyota that I sold a couple years back. Drove it through high school, then did a solid axle swap, gears, lockers, and it escalated from there! Drove it everywhere, even to Maryland a few times from AL. Guy had to have it and I finally sold it:

This one was fun, '69 VW baja. I did the big bore engine with dual carbs, bus transaxle, bodywork, paint everything. Daily drove it for two years while I was building my Toyota truck. Hey, it ain't 4WD but it's hold out it's fair share of game!

So now that I'm getting older, I decided to buy myself something modern, nice and cushy. Naturally, it had to be a Toyota, so I lucked up and found the "white whale" of the Toyota world, the 1985 4Runner. This one will stay mostly stock except for gears, LSD diffs, and I'll build some bumpers for it. It's gonna be my main squeeze for quite a while, I'm tired of building stuff lol

Haha can't wait to see everyone's rigs!!
I have a modified 95 jeep that I put a lift on and some 33x12.5's on. Then I got tired of having blood in the back so I welded up a extended front deer bumper so I can just strap them in the front ha.

Mr. Ron, have you considered a rack that slides into your hitch receiver?
Love the FJ and the Bronco (especially with the heeler). I also like the early 4Runner.
I'm a huge jeep fan. I have two. So here's a couple of pics.

No, I'm kinda old fashioned, when I started killing deer people tied them on the fender....like this. :archer:

I suspected that may be the case.
Terry, that Land Cruiser sure brings back memories. I also had a '72. Man, what a vehicle! I wish I had held on to it. After that, I never had another 4WD vehicle until my current 2013 Tacoma.
Great pics guys really nice. Keep them coming
Had a 2-door 1989 Mitsibishi Pajero 5-speed and a 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser when I was stationed in Japan, both diesel. Wish I could have brought one back, especially the Pajero.
I'm working on rebuilding my '81 CJ7 that I picked up from TX a couple years ago. It's currently torn apart, waiting for a new Cummins R2.8 motor, new AX15 transmission, rebuild the Dana 300, and new D44 axles. It will be a hard top again, finished entirely with Linex. Once finished, it will be my daily driver and hunting vehicle.

My 1990 Toyota Pickup.
Not retro but modified for sure and man do I wish I would have kept it. 06 liberty 65th anniversary edition. Custom lift based off of bds springs, bilstein shocks, jba top plates and control arms with extra isolators in the rear and Clovis lift in the front. Belly skids, black rock rims, 285 Mickey Thompson's breather rerouted into the cab behind the dash, homebuilt crossbar and roof box for my climber stand
[attachment=1]
The short lived replacement for the jeep. 03 f250 7.3 powerstroke. Extra leaf springs added to the packs, overload bags on the rear, big wide nitto terra grapplers. Rebuilt the motor from the bottom up. Ditched the little garret turbo for a big 96 mm borge Warner with 6.0 intercooler, dt466 hybrid injectors, water methanol injection and as much fuel as she could possibly flow. 1400ft/lb of earth shifting torque. Rest of the truck sadly didn't hold up to well. She was my hunting rig as well as our back up vehicle for work for when we really needed supplies quick

My lifted 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 265,000 miles on it. I have taken this on a ton of hunts and fishing trips. There will be many more.

That is very clean, Joe..
:thumbsup:
Roy:
I do try to keep it in good shape and fix things whenever they need attention. I will install a new headliner and do some touch-up painting of a few nicks pretty soon, for example. My theory is that if I don't let it get too ratty it won't be hard to keep it clean.

I like my 2013 Toyota. It takes where I need to go.
Pop and I looking over the Mississippi River at our club in the MS Delta. Our vintage fully restored 1952 Willys is my single favorite piece of hunting gear I have ever owned or made. Absolutely cherish this relic and it stays in tip top condition

Joebuck, you got it going on. Something about a trusty ole 4WD that gets real sentimental. Awesome ride buddy!
I had this 4cyl Scrambler in the early 1980's, It had a custom cover on the little box. I bought it used and I don't remember what year it was. It was a great little hunting rig....I wish I still had it.

Great pics Ron

Mine was...a 1970 K5 Blazer. metallic green, 350 V8, Holley carb, after market headers, factory positraction rear, 8 mpg. It was a beast. Rarley stuck even when I was stupid. But when it all was working she was a dream. I'll dig up a photo from the attic.
Actually it matches the vehicle in a story in one of G Fred Asbell's books, in a chapter called "Old Green"

This one will go places I won't take it anyway, but gives me a few more options!
My '86 Toyota Extra-Cab I bought new. Now with 500K on the odometer. She's been a good'un!
Nice Joey.... that really brings back memories... there were quite a few of those running around North Georgia chasing Critters when I was growing up.

Love the old Yotas. Nothing built as well since IMO. Wish I could have bought one new!
Limbshaker, can you believe that truck was just shy of $11,000 when I bought it?
Almost everything is original. 2 starters, 3 fuel pumps, and of course shocks, brake pads, a couple of mufflers, 1 master cylinder, and a clutch slave, etc... but everything else is original from 1986. The original alternator is still in it. Not too hard for a backyard mechanic to work on either.
They don't build stuff like that anymore.
:campfire:
Joebuck, that Willy's is priceless. Had a '46 and a '53 years ago. Been kicking myself ever since.
