Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted November 16, 2009 If you were smart you would dump that rough ridin' rig for a real game getter like this..... Easier to haul... cheaper to opperate.... smoother... more versitile.... and then you could afford a Hwy worthy runnabout rig! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GameHauler Report post Posted November 16, 2009 MY Friend, until you enjoy the comfort of Amber, I suggest you keep your uneducated option back She will out ride any s-s and can probably do it on less fuel. Sounds like we need to do a scouting trip If I can get between the trees she is rolling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted November 16, 2009 You'll never believe this, but I was listening to our local "tradio" (radio classifieds) a couple weeks back and an older lady was selling a '59 Land Cruiser - all original - with the straight-six - still running - for get this, $800. I can hardly post this it's so painful - but my situation was such that I couldn't do it, but somebody got one heck of a deal. I'm still kicking myself - when I lived in Houston, a badly rusted, hacked-together FJ with NO redeeming qualities was selling for $8K in Galveston. BTW, Amber rocks! I rebuilt an '87 4Runner with all the bells and whistles - solid axle swap from an '84, big lift, big 35" Wrangler MTR tires, full-time locker in the back and air locker in the front with dash-mounted controls. A custom "swing-out tire carrying rear bumper that held the spare and two jerry cans on a 1000 lb trailer spindle. I even durabak'd the entire outside with a desert-tan/black speckle, and inside with all black - and when I took it on a San Carlos hunt, I was amazed how the absolute "scratchiest" horse trail I could take 'er on, not a single scratch to the outside was to be seen. That was one heck of a truck. I know the "labor of love" it took to make that beast of yours happen - heck I had to learn to weld, spent every waking hour when not at work for two full summers getting that truck to where it was. It's no small feat, and you should be proud as heck to have created such an awesome mule. I ended up selling my "baby" to a really nice guy in the LA area - a vet - so I'm at least I'm glad she got a good home. Just for old time's sake I have to post a pic of my old "beauty and beast".

Red Rabbit Report post Posted November 16, 2009 Heard a rumor this evening that Jeep will have a diesel again in 2010, but in the real jeeps this time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted November 16, 2009 No disrespect RR, but I've heard "rumors" Toyota will have diesel Hi-Lux for sale in the US for ... well coming on two decades. Still hasn't happened so I'll chalk this one up to "I'll believe it when I seen it". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
