I've wondered about those rigs, are they geared low enough for off roading?
Looks tight for room, what's it really like?

Nice....

My buddy had one. I barely fit in the passenger seat LOL. Aside from that a great offroad rig.
got a winch, Matt?

It's a 92 and has 78k on it. Run's and starts like a top.
Josh I just looked at one. It's a 4k and new at coastal for 700.00 the rig comes it right at 2800lbs. I am thinking that would be about right!!! I have a 2ooolber but I don't think that would work as well :chuckle:

Already been in and out more then a few times today :chuckle: So yes :chuckle:
That is one sexy pic! I know why you saved it!
Good old camo booty!!!! One of the first companies I started shooting with :tup: They treated me well and I rocked there stuff as you can see :tup:
Sebek556. It's already street legal. The brake light is in the dash saying that the parking brake is still on when it is off. Should have been more clear sorry about that, but it's a good idea. I was already bombing around stark in portland today :yike:

They are supposed to be pretty easy to work on and my buddy is a pretty handy mechanic. He gave me the nod so she came home with us today :IBCOOL:
It get's around 20 with the 32" tires on it. I think when I do put new rubber on it I will drop it down to a 30". The 32's are a little big on her.
I'm glad you got thick skin carp :chuckle:
You know it :chuckle:

Right now it just needs lots of little things done to make it better. Not things that are really needed but things I will just fix for OCD sake :chuckle:
The one thing it does do is shifting from low to high. It sometimes kicks those 2 bars into the same line and binds the shifter up a little. It is a easy fix as you just pop the plastic dust cover off. Unlock the retainer ring and pull the shifter handle out. Then see which one needs to be slid forward or back and move it. Then drop everything back in. Takes about 5 minutes to do once you learn how to do. We have already done it twice playing with it. Just puts a little grease on the hands. Not sure how to keep it from doing it. I am sure once I figure out the sweet spots. I can shift it without them locking up. That's the only thing that we could find that is a bit off about it. Runs like a top and drives pretty nice. The lockers make it a little jumpy on sharp corners :chuckle:

You're gonna want a bigger winch.
I saw a Sammy with a quartered 5x5 roosie bull in the back with the rack...a deer should be no trouble.
Congrats.... it'll be a fun ride.

The darn things make there own gas, compared to a jeep but if you think you are going to squeeze 3 guys in there to go hunting, you will be disappointed, you will have to leave the gear and guns behind to fit in side that thing :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
I thought about getting one, that was until i tried to get in to one :bdid: I am too tall. my head pressed against the roof :bash:
As for the winch, Smitty build will do you just fine. I have one but have yet been in a situation where I have needed it yet, so I cant testify for the durability of it yet.
Talk with Ron at http://store.4wheelingplus.com/ (http://store.4wheelingplus.com/) good guy, located in Elenberg, has great deals often and one hell of a nice guy :tup:

Had a Hurricane 6 and a 4 speed on the floor. Wish I still had it. Lots of room for three as well as our gear behind second seat. This thread makes me want to replace it.

I have never filled up a rig for so cheap :chuckle: I order a ton of stuff for it today. I will start a project thread when I find time to start working on the stuff.

Huge thanks to Wazukie!!!! I ordered that seat for the transfer case. It got here yesterday and when we got back from hunting today. Dropped her in and omg! No more lock ups and shifts like butter!!! AMAZING!!!! I got to reading and I guess pretty much all of them will do that at some point of there life. Mine is a 92 so most of the tranny stuff and problem got worked out in the 90's and on models. So I should be golden now!!!!
Cant wait to start doing some upgrades!!! Bought 2 bed liner kits to paint the whole outside black with bed kevlar bed liner :IBCOOL: Then I will probably air brush on some silver graphics :IBCOOL:

I am not hunting yet just trying to get my buddy/hired guy a meat deer for his freezer. Had a nice fat doe picked out about 70 yards away and was on the last part of the sneek until ray came by :chuckle: His name was mud yesterday :chuckle: I told my buddy "what the heck ray knows it's me"
I have been beating people out of there morning noon and night. With all the road closers all the dang people are out looking to start some problems :bash:
Post by: firefighter4607 on September 03, 2012, 09:18:59 AM
Yep until ray did a slow drive by and decided to stop and spook the deer :chuckle::chuckle: :chuckle: Yeah sorry about that. I was with him. After words I was like I think that was Matt. He started telling me oh yeah he does have a truck like that. He says he has to appogize to you for that. Hope you get your buddy one. :tup:
