What hunting rig are you running/how do you use it

2011 Tundra with a leveling kit is the daily driver / work / hunting rig. View attachment 735659

Based on this thread Toyota for the win no doubt. I think it’s hard to beat the quality and capability of them.

Now that’s quite the system there. George looks like comfort living in the woods!

George is certainly a welcome sight after a long day in inclement weather.

I could only imagine, after spending a November season sleeping in a 15 jeep jku last year I bet it would be like a 5 star hotel. I’m looking forward to more space in the 4Runner this season.

An 2003 Dodge with a Cummins and a six speed manual. I do the off-road stuff on a four wheeler.

Working on getting this ‘91 4Runner reliable enough to make my main hunting/fishing vehicle. At only 125k on the odometer it has the potential but I still don’t trust it well enough to make a couple hundred mile drive and not leave me stranded.

Love your setup, I’m new to Toyota but I already love them. I just got my warn m15000 winch installed.

Thanks man, I'm a big fan of it!

I have a '98 with about 210k miles on it and in a couple weeks I'm driving it from Arkansas to the Sangre de Cristo mountain range to climb some 14ers, wish me luck lol!

Jeep Rubicon JKU on 37" bead locks, winch, all metal bumpers, lift, 1 ton axles, 6.2L Chevy V8 swapped, atlas transfer case, 10 speed trans, 5.13 gears. Can get me anywhere and out of anywhere. Also keeps my camp light and mobile because I can't fit much in there.

The only hunting rig I am " running " is me. At 61 I don't run as much, but walk a really good ways. I use it to get away from crowds, and from those " running" the roads on rubber tires. ( I hate when asked what yea " runn'n").

New to me this year ‘98 Tacoma 4 cyl 5 spd with manual everything and I love it. Added a headache rack and truck box, Lexus seat swap, and a customized 4Runner center console I worked up. Great mpg and thoroughly impressed with the ability to crawl through the nasty stuff.

Do timing belt and be prepared to do head gasket at some point with the 3.0. Looks super clean and minty, love it! Also check the radiator to see if it’s been replaced, it’s another weak point on the 2nd gen’s. Luckily mine has been changed out for an aluminum with electric fan. Solid rig for sure

I used my girls jeep wrangle rubicon jku last season and you’re right about not a lot of room. The v8 and atlas transfer case sounds awesome. Did you do the work yourself? We plan to do a tdi swap when the motor goes, it’s already on 37s re-geared and rear bumper. I slept in it last November and it’s wasn’t the best but got the job done.

Well I use to step out my backdoor and be able to hunt on the east coast but unfortunately now I have to drive 4 hours away to hunt here in Colorado. So yes I like to have a dedicated rig to get me to my hunting area and store all my stuff while I’m out for a few days hunting. I have never been “truck hunting” in my life, it seems like no fun and no reward. Seems awfully common here in Colorado and Wyoming but it’s not for me.

My 2013 JKUR, had it since 2015, has a 2 inch lift, and some mechanical upgrades to make it more reliable. I don't push it to it's limits to get to where I hunt, but I love having it's off road ability available.

Nice truck, congrats. Definitely a solid rig

2017 Tundra double cab. Absolute base model with mud tires and a canopy. Secondary base camp and use it like a side by side. Tows my little trailer just fine and keeps my gear dry. Need to get a bigger fuel tank installed. I got a little TW coming for exploring old blocked up forest service roads.

The old man topper is where it’s at honestly

That’s how to roll

Wow that’s pricey, I like to do all my own work. I do believe you can get a low miles JDM 3.4 for around 2000$.

I need the V8/4.7. You can definitely find them online for around 3k, but I’m told to be extremely wary of the actual mileage at that price. The price quoted above has a 5 year warranty.
