[adkmountainken]

[Tim Fishell]

Congrats on the new Jeep Ron.  Look forward to seeing pics of it when you get it home.

Here's my 94 Toy extra cab with crappy $25 camper shell my family hates...but it was only $25....and I'm an engineer (read "Cheap")

This was on the annual Trad Bowhunters of Georgia January hog hunt.  Note shiny red paint - that's courtesy of a spike buck that ran out in front of me and came $700 short of totalling the truck.....thank you little fella for the new paint and the tasty hams!

SOS, get a grill guard like is on my black chevy above and Biggies red Dodge. I hit a deer with the truck I had before this one. I was only going about 30mph but he busted through the grill and punctured my tranmissiom cooler. I thought it was anti freeze leaking so I drove home only 5 miles....burned up my transmissiom. I wouldn't be without a grill guard now.

yup.  Between my (little 6 acre    :rolleyes:    ) place and three of my neighbors about 1000 acres total of private land (all connecting) right out my door. Our land also borders on the Wayne National Forest, and the closest public access to the Wayne is a good 10 miles away.  Many, Many thousands of acres right out my back door in S.E. Ohio.  To bad there are no big deer left around here

That new JT concept looks like an updated version of a CJ-8.
  I used to have a 78 CJ-5 it was kind of a hassle trying to put the 68" longbow in it.

[Jason Lester]

Scooter,
   Check out my CJ5 on the first or second page. as far as putting a bow in it... your right not much room in there. But my little regular cab pickup doesn't either. LOL so the CJ5 is roomy in comparison.

[cjones]

well i can't seem to find any of mine so this is the best i could do. Thats it in the background!

Ron lemmie know how you like the 4 door jeep after you've had it awhile....I like the looks of 'em and was considering one for around here.

I agree on the grillguard. I hit a deer on the way to the airport once and it caused me to mmmmmmiss all my flights on that trip. I've hit two with a grillguard and have had no damage to the truck itself. Be sure and get a heavy duty one. There are cheap ones on the market that look good but don't do much to protect your fenders :-(

I guess we'll have to call your new Jeep the Bigmobile once you get her all tricked out. I have to whole heartedly agree on the grill guard. My truck is a 4 door Ford F-250 4 wd. I lunched a fat doe in the fog one morning running 70 mph. Instant hamburger with a lot of noise. I jumped out to inspect the damage to my front end, The Ranch Hand grill guard did it's job. It got a little nasty in the process but didn't bend and I didn't need a repair shop. Can't say the same about the doe.

Here's my truck and one of my old buses that I keep for hunters to sleep in.

   


What she looks like loaded and finished with a hunt out west. 8 hours of driving and I'll be home. This was the final pic from TXS07. Me, Dad, and Rick Savage. The trailer is the reminance of another hunting truck I owned and drove when I was 20 years old.

Curtis, i have a 1959 Ford school bus down behind my camp, i used it for camping before i built my cabin, they make a GREAT place to camp,i now use mine for storage, for deer stands etc.

[Littlefeather]

Thats cool Tim! I actually have a couple. I wanted a bus since I was very young. I suppose the Partrige family and the hippie buses of old intrigued me. Besides, I like a goood challenge and if you've never built a bus you wouldn't understand. There is nothing square or level in the whole project. Here is a pic of the inside of my personal hunting bus. There's been a few Tradgangers catch some beauty rest in this one. Jason Westbrock even rested his long frame on the couch there while Charlie took the lower bunk and I took the top. It was a full load!

[Biggie Hoffman]

Do you need that bus to push the F250 everywhere you go or just in camp?

Who was driving??      :eek:

[sticshooter]

Well here's my truck and my crew. This baby has the 300 6cyl and will run till the body falls off! the crew is our boxer Stella and my sons two boxers Brutus and Lillybean. they all three love venison.<><  

[Ron LaClair]

Here's my diesel from the back. Can you tell I'm a Bow hunter?    

   

[rtherber]

Ron, she bought hers in October when they first came out here. She was getting 22mpg up in the Smokey Mtns. back in December(no air conditioning)and that seems to be the best gas mileage so far. The Rubicon is geared lower so I don't know about yours.  BTW, that soft top removal takes a little getting used to compared to taking the soft top off my regular Wrangler. She really likes hers and I'm still partial to the smaller one. The next thing you need to get for the Jeep is a:  www.adventuretrailer.com-  I like the "Chaser" model.
 

[Ron LaClair]

Roger, I've got both tops. I figured to use the soft top in summer and the hard top the rest of the year.

On the jeep site they make it look easy to put down the soft top.

Is Her's got a Automatic or Manual transmission? I was hoping the manual would do a little better on milage.   :confused:
