Speaking of hunting rigs, I just saw a really nice silver Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab magnum edition that was lifted with big tires at a local insurance auto auction.  I was drooling that it would make a great hunting rig, it was like a 2005 or 2006.  Didn't seem to have anything wrong with it other than a busted head light and fog light.  I was wondering if it had been stolen and already paid off by the the insurance company by the time it had been recovered.   Either way, it was pretty freaking sweet and I felt sorry for whoever once owned it and poured a bunch of money into it.

Looks like you got into it!  8)

I like that 2008 model. I suppose I don't hate the 2010s + newer, I just can't stand that "POWER WAGON" decal on the hood  :puke:

I realize now how important it is for me to buy a winch... Hopefully the wife will allow my purchase...

I want one too!  Haven't gotten stuck since getting the new tires though, and I have tried!

he who never got stuck, never went anywhere.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

 :yeah:

I don't call it stuck, I call it "temporarily immobilized"  :chuckle:

When dad bought the Jeep in 1982, it still had the dealer plates on it when the winch was put on. It's like duct tape, 10,000 uses besides pulling yourself out.

Had she been stuck in that vehicle, there's a good chance she'd be helping you pick the winch out!

My 99 F150 is a little under-powered to haul our camping trailer and it's got over 200,000 miles on it now, but it still does the job  :)
