They are getting hard to find now that Ford quit making them. They have replaced it with the Expedition EL, an extended version of the Expedition. It will have a twin turbo diesel available for it this coming year and rides more like the Chev Suburban.

Here's my all around hunting fishing dyno pulling machine! 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4.

Best dyno pull to date 503 hp, 1035 lbs trq.

Yeah it gets me to my hunting spots real quick.

I know you all want to know what my mileage with all the aftermarket goodies under the hood. Well I still get 21 when I am cruising on the freeway. 17 or so back and forth to work and a little less in traffic and around town.

Although when I turn on all the go fast buttons and lay it to the floor the sky turns dark, the sound of a 9.0 earthquake fills the air and  thoughts of armageddon enter peoples minds and alot of white smoke piles off the rear tires and I get maybe 4 miles to the gallon.

This project has been setting in my garage for the last 5 years. Dropped the whole drive trail for upgrades to gears, axles, brakes and tires. Retiring this year and will have this as a full time project after hunting season. This will then be my full time hunting rig except when I'm towing the trailer. Maybe a nice camo paint scheme for the finishing touch?

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.

And now I'm hunting out of this....
[smg id=10478]

Well I didn't have a pic of my sedan so I had to steal one from the net. Same make, year, model, color. The mileage is slightly better in the car. I was getting 20mpg in the powerstroke and I get 26 in the Honda but the real difference is not having to lift that little green handle at the gas station. Saves me about a buck a gallon plus the difference in mileage makes over $150 per week savings. Add to that the cost of 35" tires every year, the cost of diesel parts and oil changes vs the Honda and I am getting close to saving 10k per year.  :IBCOOL:

I know! I have been hearing a lot of people talking about them on here. Is yours pretty wobbly driving down the road with the 5.5 lift? I have a 2.5 and I have heard once you go over the 3.5 you start white knuckling pretty bad keeping it between the lines.

I set aside some money out of every paycheck to fund the annual hunting trip. I am not going to let the price of fuel derail my hunting season! A plus is that the price of fuel is slowly coming down. I was paying almost $4.50 a gallon for diesel. I fueled up yesterday at $4.16 a gallon.

When it comes to hunting, I will not let GAS Prices take me out of the game!  I do have plenty of hunting partners that would pitch in for gas as needed if we are going to carpool. Once the drawing results come out I will be making arrangements to get out in the field to do a lot more scouting. My wife wants me to take a rest on the trail cam that I have out. What she doesn't know is that we are going camping in the area this weekend and I will be checking the cam. Hope to post new pics next week.

My rig, the "Gate Buster". I hunted exclusively behind gates close to home last season. Didn't get a buck but hunted in areas that held deer, got in great shape and had a blast! Only saw one other hunter who walked an impressive distance.

I know! I have been hearing a lot of people talking about them on here. Is yours pretty wobbly driving down the road with the 5.5 lift? I have a 2.5 and I have heard once you go over the 3.5 you start white knuckling pretty bad keeping it between the lines.
Not sure yet :dunno:havn't got to drive it since the spring change. My old lift was a 3.5 and it was so stiff I absolutely dreaded potholes. This new lift is ALLOT softer. As far as wandering goes, im going to have to wait and see. Ive got a 70's 2wd f350 stearing box that mounts extremely low and Im running a tie rod over style stearing setup, so my stearing angle is really reasonable. Im pretty sure that the body roll is going to be allot more noticeable than before.

The biggest issue with lifting a Bronco or F150 is they use radius arms. If you do not use arms that correct for the change in castor angle, it is going to get squirrley on the road. James Duff makes some great arms that correct for the change in castor angle.

I like the smoked blinkers. and yeah a winch would be a good add on since you already hav the plate. Get a good snach block and you can winch the elk up and into a trailer and take him home whole.

It does have a winch.  It came with a Warn 8274 with a blown motor.  I bought some seals for it and have it all torn apart right now.  just need to put it back together and get a motor.  i guess the 8274 is supposed to be a good winch too.

Shop around, you can find 8274's for about $1200 still. Occasionally you can find them on Craigslist for about $500 and they are in good shape still. My 2nd one is from Craigslist. It had been used twice and had been sitting on the front of the vehicle for about 5 years. Still in perfect shape.

That thing has 5 differentials!  I encourage you to read the article, and try to figure out how to use them!

I am not saying every truck should have a 4' x 8' bed to carry sheetrock, but at $525K you would think a larger bed would be standard.  Finally, the driver's seat (cockpit) is claustrophobic.

Just from a physics standpoint. You can only have one differential per axle. The last time I checked 1X3=3 unless its that new common core math crap.

I think the wording is getting confused in the article due to it being written in England. What they may consider a "double differential" on the rear axles is commonly referred to as a feed though axle design (that is how you achieve dual axle drive in the rear.) The article does mention a lockable transfercase (something Jeep had available 50 years ago).

You can see in the picture the axles are a standard differential design with the addition of a feed though box on the front to feed the rear axle.

I would think that a great budget hunting rig would be a 91-96 Jeep Cherokee. They can be had reasonably cheep, there are MANY budge modifications that can be done, and there are TONS of aftermarket accessories available. With a modest 2" lift (cheep) and some fender trimming you can fit some decent sized tires for hunting and have a very capable rig. I know a couple of guys that regularly get 20mpg in their Cherokees for commuting purposes, With stock OD tires... You can always fold down the rear seat or ad a roof basket if you think you need more room for your stuff.

what do you consider good mileage?  My 95 mazda (basically a ranger) gets maybe on a good day 20mpg thats no wind perfect driving at speeds of no more than 65 and its gutless.  It works for me because I dont do any serious wheeling or much major driving but for the mileage most days I wish I had another V8 my old suburban got 18 on road trips easy....and it went when I stomped on it.
