Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Hunting rigs

Recently had to sell my SXS. As funds allow, I'd like something to replace it and am giving serious thought to a Suzuki or Geo. Can be had cheaper than a SXS, not much larger, easier to plate, and less rules of where I can drive it here.

Tired of fuggin w my beater 98 Grand Cherokee.
Got a 2 yr old Cherokee Trailhawk.
See how it does turkey season.

2011 4Runner, been a good rig so far.

Thanks, 85 chevy 1 ton dually....454 propane, dana 60 front, dana70 rear, turbo 400 auto...the pic was this year, 4 chains on in the pic and barely made it out of there.

I don't day hunt, I almost always go for at least 2 nights or longer and that is my rig.

I built the camper, wood stove, all wood, no metal, tin etc..... Tin sweats, I hate that.

Me, too.
I kinda hate bringing the road home with me, though!

Boats and rafts is my main mode of transportation for hunting

My favorite kind of hunting rig.

Your 88 Burb is a great rig - agree on the many positives, including the OE tires. For 20 years I used a 72 Suburban the same way for hunting/fishing (room for any rod rig) and back country travel - one tough 4wd wagon, including that T400. Have been tempted to have one like yours (but with 4sp manual), but am simply joined at the hip with the 67-72 trucks.

I have 3 besides the off road vehicles.
2000 GMC Yukon
1996 grand Cherokee limited
1979 fj 40 land cruiser

All have been restored and modified a bit depending on use.

When I am done with this build.


Currently needs some assembly.


And should be the follow up to the CJ6 build.

1982 FJ60 and 2008 Max IV

That whole rig is impressive - self-built custom camper like that is beyond cool - and the wood stove, wow. Understand that truck and its features (especially underneath), and it seems ultimate for the purposes. Add the 4 wheel strong trailer - bingo! The sin of envy appears.

Thanks.

Wow - would I like to have one of those HCF models for fun? However, first experience with one was shaky way back when. Deer hunt up on the Bozarth Mesa with a local rancher who had that cab setup with the PTO winch and a pickup bed aft. He crawled down the steep/narrow/edgy/rocky trail to Burro Creek so we could hunt the bottom. Many moments I was certain that we were going to pitch the whole rig forward face down in the rocks. Then, the crawl back up - with two mule deer. Great day once I got used to the ride.

Mine for a dozen years till the road salt took it. Was wearing 12.50-33 BFG MT's & a Truetrac locker before I parked it.

I prefer following Pat McManus’s advice of any vehicle belonging to someone else as being a great little hunting rig ya got there!

99 Frontier


08 YAMA
