Title: Show Us Your Hunt'n Rig.......
Post by: Suty on July 20, 2007, 05:54:00 PM
Hey Gang, Just thought it would be interesting to see what get's us to our favorite Hunting spots. They may be your Leather Covered Personel Carriers ,a ATV, a Car, a Truck, a Daily Driver or a Special Vehicle....Show us what gets you there.
   This one is mine, a Daily Driver/Hunt'n Rig. She's a 01 Toyota Tacoma 4X. 95K miles and still running strong. There's been a few Mods over the years but it's still a work in progress.  Tu Compadres, Suty

 Looks like your truck is set-up for just about anything you might run into. The camo accent looks good too.

Gas isn't much of a concern when you only drive 15-20 miles.  I'd like to see that van on a couple of the roads around here.  :eek:  It would probably be it's last trip to anywhere!

Elksong,  You touched my heart.  Bought a '74 Bronco in 1976.  I'd still be driving it if I hadn't wadded it up in 1988. Gave 4500 for it and insurance paid me that when I wrecked it.  It's the only car I ever drove for free and I loved that truck.  Had a posi-traction front end.  If you got stuck... you were stuck good.  Only time it ever happened was when I high centered it.  That is a going son of a gun.  Thanks for the memories!  Bill

Well, I haven't had a "huntin' truck" in a long time. All I had was the "familymobile".

I sold that thing and found myself a 1990 Suburban 2500 with a 454 and NO rust for $2800.00 inspected! I was on my way to pick it up on July 2nd when they called me and said they had done this:

So I ended up with this '92 Blazer which I am very happy with.

Deadeye - so if I am gettin 12 miles to a gallon, and I drive 20 miles stay for 5 days, drive back home and use 4-5 gallons of gas(in a week).....I am the reason gas prices are so high?  You need to stop sniffin' gas fumes.  The reason gas prices are so high is politics and greed.   I also drink milk, so I have probably screwed that up too, I'll try and stick to more water from now on...... we are in a drought though in Colorado, maybe since I drink about a gallon of water a day, I may have caused that too.  This is HORRIBLE!  I am at fault for the total collapse of the world!  Sorry......  :knothead:

Can't affort to drive a pick-up right now due to a long commute, so I bought this old GMC bed/trailer for a couple hundred bucks
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/zachjweber/Cnv0136.jpg)
I threw on a coat of white house paint and a couple black racing stripes.
(http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i89/zachjweber/Cnv0196.jpg)
I put several coats of Thompson's water sealant on some plywood, cut to size, and put a new bed on 'er.  Now I will be pulling the coolest trailer into camp with the wife's SUV.  And I won't get a drop of blood in the Trailblazer, but can't promise it won't smell like elk urine!

2004 Ford Ranger step side 4x4.  When I decided to buy a new truck, I made a list of everything I wanted, This tuck only failed to meet one of those items.  I wanted a rubber floor, this sports carpet.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/VIArcher/IMG_1137.jpg)

4 litre V-6, 5 speed automatic, those nice little suicide doors on the crew cab for easy access, cruise, tilt air, and a six disc c.d/mp3 player that ensures I can drive from here to quebec and listen to Johnny Cash the whole way.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v235/VIArcher/IMG_1088.jpg)

I almost left the dealer 3 times, as I didn't want to pay so much for a truck. Sure glad the wife taalked me into it, really had to twist my rubber arm!

It gets great gas mileage (over $5 a gallon up here) goes places in two wheel I'd have to lock the hubs up on my pick-up.
Its going to get a olive drab paint job and a bit of a lift next year  :thumbsup:

Ron, you're a man after my own heart. I've owned many Jeeps over the years, CJ5's, CJ7's. I even bought a new Wrangler when they came out with the classic grill & headlights again in '97. Now I'm driving a Cherokee, but I am seriously lusting after one of those Wrangler Unlimited 4drs. myself. It's all I can do to hold off for a year or two till I can find a used one.

Here's the Cherokee

There is a conversion available to make the newer jeeps a truck like that. It's expensive though its from quadratec. I think the 4 door jeeps are interesting. Not a big fan of all the plastic they use for the bumpers etc. But there are plety of aftermarket ones availible. The rubicon is a great version. It has all the lockers and heavier axles alredy.

There is a bunch of these driving around here near me.

I was only going about 30mph but he busted through the grill and punctured my tranmissiom cooler. I thought it was anti freeze leaking so I drove home only 5 miles....burned up my transmissiom. I wouldn't be without a grill guard now.

Ron lemmie know how you like the 4 door jeep after you've had it awhile....I like the looks of 'em and was considering one for around here.

I agree on the grillguard. I hit a deer on the way to the airport once and it caused me to mmmmmmiss all my flights on that trip. I've hit two with a grillguard and have had no damage to the truck itself. Be sure and get a heavy duty one. There are cheap ones on the market that look good but don't do much to protect your fenders :-(

I guess we'll have to call your new Jeep the Bigmobile once you get her all tricked out. I have to whole heartedly agree on the grill guard. My truck is a 4 door Ford F-250 4 wd. I lunched a fat doe in the fog one morning running 70 mph. Instant hamburger with a lot of noise. I jumped out to inspect the damage to my front end, The Ranch Hand grill guard did it's job. It got a little nasty in the process but didn't bend and I didn't need a repair shop. Can't say the same about the doe.

Besides, I like a goood challenge and if you've never built a bus you wouldn't understand. There is nothing square or level in the whole project. Here is a pic of the inside of my personal hunting bus. There's been a few Tradgangers catch some beauty rest in this one.

Ron, she bought hers in October when they first came out here. She was getting 22mpg up in the Smokey Mtns. back in December(no air conditioning)and that seems to be the best gas mileage so far. The Rubicon is geared lower so I don't know about yours.  BTW, that soft top removal takes a little getting used to compared to taking the soft top off my regular Wrangler. She really likes hers and I'm still partial to the smaller one. The next thing you need to get for the Jeep is a:  www.adventuretrailer.com- (//http://)  I like the "Chaser" model.

Roger, I've got both tops. I figured to use the soft top in summer and the hard top the rest of the year.

On the jeep site they make it look easy to put down the soft top.

Is Her's got a Automatic or Manual transmission? I was hoping the manual would do a little better on milage.   :confused:    :readit:
Title: Re: Show Us Your Hunt'n Rig.......
Post by: rtherber on July 28, 2007, 06:43:00 PM
She's got the automatic and also she has the full doors. Did you get the half doors? Heck, she even has power windows-who ever heard of a real JEEP having power windows?LOL- Ask your dealer if they got the quality control problem with the T-tops on the hardtop straightened out. I heard there was a leaking issue. She only has the soft top but it comes with the "Sundowner" version-which allows for a flip back front compartment top back without taking the whole top off. The V-6 seems peppy enough but I'm hearing this mini-van engine(already in production) is just a temporary powerplant- maybe a small diesel in the future.I like that truck prototype-and the top comes off on it.

J.D., I had a Scrambler, bought it used in 85. It had a custom cap over the little box, like a little pickup. It was a great huntin vehicle.    :thumbsup:  

I should have a picture of it somewhere.

Her she is finely sitting in my back yard. Driving home on the highway I was impressed how smooth and quiet it road. It's been awhile since I drove a stick, this may take a little getting use to.

Listening to the salesman as he went through the instructions about the off road capibilitys, I'm thinkin...am I ever going to need to climb a mountain with this thing?    :scared:  

I think I'll take off the rest of the hard top tomorrow and use the cloth top until this fall. As long as I've got it I might as well use it... :readit:

Ron,

Now you just need a winch on the front and you'll be pretty much unstoppable. Of course as prety and new as that is the scratches will hurt.

Almost all of my hunting involves this boat in some form or fashion.  I paid about 7 to 8 times more for it than I did my 98 Durango that I drive now.  Bear, deer, moose, mtn. goat, ducks, fish, you name it, it get's me there. Except for the pic, of course, we didn't go anywhere till the tide came back in.

This does it for now: '03 Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel.  Weighs about 4 tons but will knock down better fuel mileage fully loaded pulling the trailer than most gas pick-ups do empty.  The only trouble is lifting a deer onto the tailgate is a little tough by myself...  although that hasn't been a problem so far this season!

Has all the comforts of home (leather chairs, satellite radio and phone, heated seats, etc.) to keep the whining hunting partners happy. Including a factory DVD player in the back seat with ear phones to really shut them up...
