My wife drives the kid around in a Subaru Outback. The AWD is great and the cargo area is spacious. I've hunted out of it many times. However, nothing compares to having a truck bed. My truck happens to have a canopy so I can sleep in it and feel at home. I've slept in the Outback, too, but its no tthe same. :twocents:

I want the interior space of a double cab for ease of locking stuff up and carrying more than one passenger and a pickup bed for hauling bloody critters, wood and general junk for dump runs and such. Carrying dead critters in the back of a jeep sounds like a good way to end up with some lovely smells...

I'm looking for a toyota pickup myself, a 2000ish double cab tacoma with the 2.7l and 5 speed manual should fit the bill perfectly but I may end up getting an extra cab instead, depends on what I can find for a price. Prices are all up right now so I've stopped even looking till after Christmas when everyone remembers they still have bills to pay and are willing to sell their truck for a realistic price.

They dont make a 4 door tacoma in a 5 speed.

I know of several that are fairly local to me but all have either high miles, high price or both.

meat, my first cj was a 5 with a 401 @ 400plus hp. I have never been so scared of a rig in my life......but it was a hoot.
I used to belong to the Timber Tamers jeep club out of Kirkland 30 years ago. I used to race it at playdays for fun. It was a hoot and a half. I forgot to mention that I had the front and rear housings trussed up so you couldn't bend them if you got air....

We built a strong 4x8 trailer to take offroad. It basically has a lift kit on it and 32" tires. The fenders need to be strong so they won't get ripped off and the lights need to be protected. Look at getting a pintle hitch for it. They work very well in the twisties. I also added shocks to the axle. It keeps any bounce out of the trailer on rough roads. The nice thing about a trailer is you can drop it at camp and do not have to haul all your stuff around with you if you need to run somewhere. I've built a few trailers for stuff like this.
Here are a few nice examples.

The military surplus HMMWV trailers work well too.

I was under the impression they didn't make them in 5 speed either, unless possibly special ordered. Is there any way you could post a link. I have been looking at them for the last few years and have yet to see one. 4 door that is, lots of ext cab's have them.

Oh I see your talking about the new body style, I was referring to the 1995-2004 body style 4 door.

I bought a jeep last year. One season and I got rid of that thing so fast. The jeep is not practical from any standpoint. Also the ride is awefully rough and sucks in snow. Bad deal all around. It has a following due to the stigma but that is where it stops. No *censored*.
My best vehicle ever was my 94 Cherokee that I bought new, had till it till 249K in 2002. Stupidest thing I did was sell it.... Ran it in AK, went anywhere I ever needed to go and places you couldn't/wouldn't dream of with a full sized. Not sure what the heck you were running maybe a mail Jeep! Will admit it sucked in 2 wheel drive, but when shifted in 4, that thing ate the snow.

I never thought to check the guide for a hitch rack, but I am going to order that one soon. Thanks for the heads up.
Definately check out Addicted's hitch hauler rack. Do not buy the cheap JC Whitney type haulers. I have had both cheap ones and nicer heavy duty ones, the heavy duty ones pay for themselves over the years.
Check out Wet Okole neoprene seat covers also
http://www.wetokole.com/ (http://www.wetokole.com/)
They are fantastic for saving the stock seats. Just do not get a light color as the main color (shows dirt more) the the dark colors.
