Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives What Did You Do to Your Hunting Truck/4X4 Today?

Washed the last of the elk blood out of the bed and cab of my truck from this year's hunt.

Didn't want to wait until the blood had really dried out, and would be hard to remove........

I bought mine today. Been looking and finally found a regular cab Super duty that was 4wd and wasn't a 6.0 diesel. Ended up finding a clean 02 F350 gasser with 144k on the clock. All new steering components 2k ago, 8 new plugs and boots 2 weeks ago and a spanking new set of Toyo MTs. Six speed manual trans, true dual exhaust, airbag overloads and a nice sound system. Seems like it's going to be a pretty good rig and it was cheap enough I didn't have to borrow a nickel on it.

Very nice, Kid. The ZF6 manual is a great transmission and should last forever behind that gasser. Always wondered how the V8 did in the Super Duty as I've never driven one.

I can tell you what I did with Nate's

I voted and voted and voted some more!

Replaced the flimsy factory rear bumper on the F-350 today. I wanted something more stout for my overhead camper, but wanted to retain the factory receiver hitch. After looking at a bunch of offerings, I decided on the Steelcraft Elevation bumper. I couldn't find a lot about this particular model, but know folks who have used some of their other products and been happy with them. Installation took about 4 hours or so including the time it took to reinstall my backup camera. I also modified the trailer wiring bracket a bit, as this bumper has a cutout for 2008+ Super Duty trucks. I like it so far and think it will hold up fine.

No glamour shots here, I'm not going to wash my truck just to make it pretty for the interwebs.

I had an 04 F250 reg cab gasser with the 5.4 and the ZF6. It was the best truck I've ever owned. The 5.4 isn't a powerhouse, you have to use that six speed, don't be afraid to shift. But my old one got great mileage and I never had to do anything to it except replace an alternator.

I have a little work to do on the new one. Has the standard 5.4 exhaust leak on the passenger side manifold, the driver door panel is a little loose on one corner, and for some reason he plastidipped the chrome grill and worst of all the taillight lenses. I have to get that off there before I get rear ended.

Aside from that I put 200 miles on it yesterday bringing it home and taking my wife out to town for her birthday and everything seems tight as can be. Though I think this one may be thirstier than my old one, of course I may have had my foot in it a little more too.

I had a 99 F350 SRW Crew Cab 4x4 with a 5.4 2v and an auto...it was in no way a drag racer, but it was a damned good truck.

I checked the fluid levels, aired up the tires and hitched up the trailer. We are heading south for the week.

Bought a new one today. 2017 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. 4X4

I made mine an official hunting rig this evening. Went bass fishing, kinda slow only caught 5 small ones, but ended up using my truck gun to shoot 6 pigs.

Good looking wagon, lazydrifter! My SIL has one of those and it's a solid rig.

Make sure you have the transmission fluid manually checked (not with the Techstream) and it has the latest TSBs for the transmission as well. Mine was nearly a quart low on fluid, but I did get a free 6 year 100,000 bumper bumper warranty from Toyota.

Got rid of the chrome on the grill and badging

Managed to get the ABS and check engine lights going off(again).

'11 6.7 Ford.

Drove it to Tucson and back--appointment with the audiologist.

How did you do it?

I hate that chrome on mine.

PlastiDip, lots of light coats. Can peel it off if you don't like it.

I took mine in to find out why the battery keeps going DEAD. New battery died too. Got to be something drawing it down.

While there might as well service the transmission.

Sure wish I would have known you were that close Ben. I had the day off of work. I would have made the trip down and bought your lunch.

Put a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers on the jeep today....liking them. Rides better and handles better than what I had.
