Images of your hunting trucks or vehicles?

I am on the lookout for a 4x4 rig or project vehicle for hunting and shooting.
I want 4x4 and a removable top like a Jeep, old Bronco or International Harvester.
Any suggestions for even better images of your hunting trucks or vehicles?
My buddy has a old Isuzu trooper 4x4 that after rolling he cut the top and pulled the doors off of that pretty handy.
Thanks PG
 
Wish I would of taken a picture of how I hauled one of my does I shot last fall.
I strapped her on top of the trunk on my ford focus. I was all by myself on the farm. The rest of the guys with trucks werent up yet. Tied a rope on one side of the deer, brought the rope through the back windows to the other side and tied that end to the deer. It worked although I didnt go very fast. When its all you got you make it work. ;D

The largest vehicle gets me to the vicinity of my varmint (groundhogs, prairie dogs, etc) hunting, then the middle sized vehicle usually gets me to the shooting site. But if I can't get there in that vehicle, then the smallest (in the bed of the pickup) vehicle will get me the rest of the way. :D

Ryan, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do to get em home. Years back I used a combine to bring one home.. Heck, I used the combine as a blind/stand.... ;D

For Prairie Dogs and Turkeys we use this. For deer I go in the back yard and tow them to the house with the Case International tractor.

Well, this is not exactly what you had in mind but on the other hand it has a heater for cool weather, air-conditioning for hot weather, power windows so you can get them down quickly, if needed. It has a 2 inch lift for sufficient clearance for all but the worse conditions, and usually has a rack on top for cooler, etc. I like my comfort, even when out shooting.

central Idaho - near Stanley. The mountains are the Sawtooths, they average near 11,000 ft elevation. Where my Jeep is parked the elevation is near 6.000 ft. Beautiful country but hard winters and a tough place to make a living.

Thanks guys I am still looking seen everything from rolled and salvaged modern 4dr jeeps to IH Scouts, Jeep Keisers, old Blazers and Bronkos. Havnt bought yet. Where I go there are rangers and mules but they are loud and small plus got one stuck last year had to hike an hour for a cell signal then wait another hour for two pretty girls to come pull us out in a wench on a Hummer H1 from town. Embarrassing but at least it was two pretty girls instead of two toothless tow truck drivers...
 
Anybody ever consider a diesel Sprinter? Seems like that would certainly fill the need for space. Maybe even set up a shooting platform on the top! Hang a hammock in the back for the resting driver (with seat belt, of course). ;D
 
I use either my '98 Tacoma or my '07 Rhino.....

Back last November my Rhino was elected to haul out the

front half of my LE bull elk.......another SxS hauled the other half

Look for a 1985-1988 toyota 4runner, they had removeable tops and seat 4, but they are 2 door.
I ran one for many years myself. They came with the 22re motor (4cyl) and the latter with the junk 3.0 6cly.
They will go anyplace you point them, but not fast.
 
no pics but I have a 2003 TRD toyota tacoma 3.4 v-6 AFE stage 2 intake,manaflow exhaust,TRD super charger 2.2 pulley and URD 7th injector kit...2004 660 rhino also built and a 1998 450 Honda foreman when I,m hunting alone~Danny PS: "Dogbuster" where in utah ? I live in Tooele 30 miles west of SLC
 
The original hunting vehicle, 60 miles per bale
