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

[Naaate]

Had any issues with your LR3? In my research they seem much more reliable than the earlier discoverys

want something bigger at some point soon but will never get rid of the LR3 hopefully. no issues outside of normal wear and tear and still so much fun to drive with the great engine, smooth suspension and quiet cabin.

98 Subaru Forester with a 2.2 out of a Legacy swapped in...slow but extremely reliable. Not lifted yet but will be at some point.

Its paid for and works and is not horrendous on road on the way to where I hunt and works great offroad as long as I don't treat it too much like a jeep.

Once I get a new truck/car then I will get wild with Subaru offroad mods just for fun.

246k miles on it, almost broke in.

Just got back from a 1481mile round trip adventure climbing some 14ers in Colorado. 3rd gen never missed a beat.

Sounds great! Reliability is what I look for anymore.

I think I’m gonna get a 3rd gen next or another 2nd gen swapped with 3.4.

I drive a 2022 2500 Sierra AT4 and tow my 20’ trailer with my 2014 Argo HDI. Bought the Argo naked and had a custom frame built and had it enclosed with a strong canvas like material.

I’m from Ohio so looking for some help/advice

I’ve never been out west and do worry about some of the roads in various states. Does a f150 limit you compared to something more off roading material like a jeep/tacoma? I’m assuming some of those roads get pretty rough

Possibly some. If I am driving 20-30hrs each direction I'm still taking the f150 though unless its a brand new tacoma or a jeep that isn't a wrangler.

I never felt the 2500 we take out to CO or MT limited us any more than any other 4wd you would drive. We take SxS’s and that gets us down trails you don’t see on road vehicles able to travel but we use them mainly for the guys to be able to go in different locations to hunt. We bring tire chains for everything and that’s a big help!

It can all depend on which part of Colorado you’re going to be hunting. If you’re looking into high country that’s steep you can get into some straight rock crawling situations. But for the most part you should be fine. Just note when you see a narrow ruff road sign in Colorado it’s not lying. Scouting I ended up rock climbing more than once. A lot of guys will bring a atv/utv just for navigating roads in those ruff areas.

Ha I would drive my 95 4Runner across the country and back without a blink of an eye. Jeep is a little less fun and reliable.

Seems toppers are really liked here. Sleeping in them is my biggest question.

why sleep in your topper? When u could just put a tent beside your truck?

Asking because it would help me justify the cost of a topper thanks!

I've always preferred sleeping in the back of my truck for a multitude of reasons, #1 been ease of set up and pack up means I can hunt later and get out there earlier in the morning.

It's also peace of mind that no matter how bad the weather turns, the truck is gonna be drier/quieter than a tent and has given me a better sleep ready to get back out there.
A couple times I've packed up my tent camp and retreated to my truck when I see a severe weather change coming.

Exactly why I like to sleep in the back of the 4Runner. I was out scouting and it rained hard for most of the night. I was nice and toasty in the back.

Miss my small truck for how easy it was to drive and get things in and out of the bed. Moved up to a full size 1500 with a lift and trying to figure out how to get a deer into the bed ha

Polaris Ranger. I'm constantly amazed where that thing will go.

You must be under 6' tall sleeping in the back of your 4runner. I cannot really make it work at 6'2.
