Lets see your hunting/daily driver rig (Pics)

My 2012 F150 with the 5.0 and off road package, need to add a winch and I feel it will be just about prefect.

Spent the last few years driving west in the Jeep solo, but she crapped her transmission out on the freeway along with the front drive shaft. After Jeep dicked me around about covering the issues I went back to Ford. I do miss the Jeep at times, but man the Ford rides toooo smooth.

Made another upgrade. Had a reservation on the new 1st edition Bronco but towing capacity was low so grabbed another Raptor. Put a vinyl wrap and Rhino lined some under carriage.

Those are nice trucks and remarkably capable for stock, but the extra width and longer wheelbase would actually make it incapable of going some of the trails I drive.

2003 Chevy Tahoe, 285,000 miles. This Tahoe has literally been all over the US. Cranked keys in the front with 2 inch springs in the rear. CAI, Bilstien Shocks and a tune by Black Bear Performance.
Wife had an 04 Tahoe, dang good vehicle with 250K on it when somebody totalled it
while sitting in our drive way. Hit is so hard it knocked it sideways up into the woods.

Interested in the Black Bear Performance tune.
Which level did you get? How does hp and mpg compare to stock? Do you have the 5.3?

That’s how I ended up with a wrap on this one. I scratched the holy hell out of my first Black Raptor because it’s so wide. If I screw up and drive through cedar/scrub oak lined trails again hoping the wrap only gets killed.
 
Old girl was a lot more fun 07 Duramax 6in lift on 35s but had to grow up and get more practical

Its bizarre to me seeing someone with a Tahoe talk about something being too big for a trail. Your truck wouldn't fit down the majority of roads here without some major scratching. Let along what would happen if you actually got onto the trails.

Its interesting to see the differences depending on where people are, what they consider a "big" or "capable" vehicle.

If you want to get into the bush here, its all suzuki, older jeeps, or toyotas. We don't need much horsepower, just a small nimble vehicle. What people are calling offroad or rock crawling is what some of our fireroads look like after a good rain. But then, we don't get the deep sticky clay where you needs gobs of horsepower to clean your tires out. We just have gravel roads washed away until they're down to bedrock, or roads turn into rivers.
