I use this for hunting. It's worth more than my truck.

The sticker thread on GF and the cull buck thread on SDH had me thinking about this. Folks were teasing the OP about hunting out of a awd Acura that was a few years old and paid for.

I have been fortunate enough to have a nice four wheel drive truck all of my adult life. Well about three years ago the wife and I wanted to get her a new SUV but didn't want to have two vehicle payments. So we decided to sell my 08 F150 because we didn't want to trade it in and loose money on a new SUV.

The plan was that I would drive the ten year old Mazda tribute and of course she would drive the new SUV and it would be our traveling and family truck.

After we did this I felt like I lost part of my man hood from not having a pick up any more. Some of my friends called it the mom Mazda. I had to do something to it to fit me and my outdoor lifestyle.

So I found a off road store on the internet called rocky road outfitters. They sell lifts and springs for the ford escape which is identical to the Mazda suspension. I ordered a front lift that lifted the front 2 inches and installed it. I then put off road tires a roof rack and a class 2 trailer hitch to pull my 4 wheeler and trailer on it.

Even though its front wheel drive this light weight mini SUV with a v6 with handle some pretty rough mud holes and terrain. I keep a 4,000 pound come a long, shovel and enough HD ratchets and tow straps for just in case. I'm going to put a grill guard on it next and a winch.

I love being able to keep all my hunting gear in it with all the room it has. Never have to take my gear in and like I did with the truck during hunting season whenever we would go to Sam's or on a trip.

I have a work car for Monday through Friday. So yes I have a designated hunting truck and love it. Besides a dead deer don't care what it is riding home in.

1996 Ford explorer 4x4 223K hunting truck. Best $1000.00 I ever spent! I have had for seven seasons and it still keeps going. Keeps the Raptor from getting too dirty.

I drive a company truck and I'm to cheap to buy my own hunting truck. I have a 4 seat teryx but it stays on the trailer unless we are getting a deer out. I prefer to walk in and out. You miss to much stuff driving. Longet walk is a little over a mile 1 way.

I have an 2007 IS 250 as my everyday vehicle. I have a 97 regular cab F150 4x4 that is my hunting truck. I noticed the paint was getting pretty faded on the hood and roof so I told the wife that it may finally be time to get a new hunting truck.

I have 2 dedicated hunting trucks...... One jacked up jeep cherokee I leave at one lease.
Another more road worthy jeep cherokee I use to drive back and forth to my other lease and my hunting gear stays in it year round.

Im not rich, I just drive old paid for stuff and take care of it. Newest vehicle I own is over 10 years old.

I saw your truck in the parking lot of your office yesterday doc and it looks like hammering hell. Glad to see your still sporting all the Bama magnets though. grin
