4x4’s & Overlanding
-
My old rig. No overlanding, but lots of hunting and fishing. My hunting group’s last deer lease was quite large, so I would camp at the back of the property away from everyone so I wouldn’t make a ruckus when I set out to hunt the next morning.
The above comment should be read with all the levity your current metal state will allow.

@Go-For-Chill looks killer bro! I’ve never hunted but always wanted to try it. What do you have now?

I think I posted a picture of my rig on here before. 1970 Bronco, 302.
'Rolling resto', it still needs a lot of TLC. Running on 31s, 1" body lift, 1.5" suspension. Converted to an NV3550 5speed.
Still debating if I should touch the body, but then again I know how this ends, been there before.
Current state of affairs:
Trying to hunt down a ticking noise. Pretty convinced it's the valve guides, a buddy of mine will rebuild the heads.

@worn2fade My wife’s family owns a farm and I use it on/around doing all kind of stuff. Most of the time I just fill the thing with fire wood, but haul the boat and toys (dirt bikes, 4 wheeler, Argo, side x side). A buddy of mine is an arborist and drives a 2500 gmc. He got stuck in a snow bank hauling a trailer that was loaded very heavily with logs…I put the straps on and pulled him out barely breaking a sweat. Even he was blown away with the power the thing has.

Super cool @tody - dig the colour too

2017 4Runner SR5. Definitely my fav car I've ever had. Over 6 figures on the mileage now.
First time taking it on properly gnarly stuff was last summer out in the Colorado San Juans. Fun times.

2017 F350 destroyed by a tree…not a great way to haul firewood
(Full story - Windstorm blew down the neighbours tree top which landed in my truck - It was less than a year old when it happened. )We actually drove it a km to where the flat bed was waiting to haul her to the scrapyard.

@goosehd you don't, you order everything from the US. rockauto.com is the go-to source.

@goosehd Whoopsadaisies. That was unfortunate.
-
@Tago-Mago yeah I guess that conversion to green energy didn’t quite work…
-
@goosehd how awesome man. You’re living the dream!
Edit: this was in response to your answer about what you haul.
Continuation— that 350 getting wrecked by a tree is insane.

@nurunuru one day I shall see what the U.S has to offer. I haven’t taken it out of Florida yet but been to multiple state parks and mudding areas.
