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

My huntin' rig? If I had a camera handy, I'd send you a photo of my boots and backpack.

Ron...like I said yesterday...BUY IT!

Roger, the dealer called this morning and told me the other dealer that had it sold it yesterday. It was the Rescue Green color that I wanted, 6 speed manual with 2 tops, a hard top and a soft top. but I didn't want that Satelite radio and those 6 infinity speakers that were in it anyway so I'll just keep looking.    

I'm still trying to work a deal on a Unlimited Rubicon, that's the one that will climb mountains. Do you think we'd need that up in huntin camp?

Ron I always thought you were a GM man through and through!!  With all the faithful years of service you gave them then you turn around and look for something like that!!  I guess I was wrong.        just messing looks good I always said a jeep would be the best of both worlds, it is like a 4 wheel drive convertable.

Three "specialty" hunting rigs-  

This is my Colorado elk hunt rig this year.-
 

The "zuki" stays up on property outside Land Between the Lakes for hunting/scouting that area. 19.00 for a fill up and she goes a ways on a tank of gas.
 

Ron I have been told that the best place in the nation to get a Jeep is Jasper Jeep just north of Atlanta. A guy I know flew from Phoenix to Jasper and drove one home and still saved a ton. He said they had at least three of every model and color.

For all you "Boots and Backpack" guy's, do you get to start your hunts right out the backdoor?  I hike and hunt in "foot and horseback" areas 90% of the time, but I have to drive to get to the trailhead.  :cool:

I was hoping Jeep would go ahead with this concept truck. Its supposed to come with a diesel if they go ahead with manufacturing it.

rtherber, now there's a huntin truck. I'll ask the dealer about it tomorrow.

Great gas mileage, seldom breaks down, good company and carries all I need.

SHE bought the new '07 in the Sahara package,bought a personalized license plate with "HERJEEP" on it and by golly I sit on the passenger side when I get to ride in it.  

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.

Huntin' rig, daily driver, offroad toy (my other hobby)

Man I couldn't do 2500 miles in a Jeep. I believe in my comfort...

Bob, I like your Two four wheelers

Good lookin truck Biggie, here's my 3/4 ton Duramax Diesel, 2003 with 69,000miles on it. Love those 4 doors.

 

Well I went and did it today. I made a deal on a new Jeep Wrangler 4dr Rubicon. This baby has a long wheel base and rides like a dream, I think even Biggie would like it. I'm picking it up monday, It's just like this one only in Red with 2 tops, hard top and soft top with 6 speed manual tran. I'll post pictures when I get her home....I'm keeping the Chev. Diesel,

 

Here's my '89 Dakota 4x4.  It's been a good one; currently has 316,000 on it w/ no rebuilds.   I  have a '95 just like it but a maroon color and it has the Magnum 318 V8.  It was abused by a former owner and has required alot of work.   If I can get it slapped back together enough to run tomorrow, I'll post a pic of it too!
