What's your hunting rig?

[woods89]

According to the powers that be, we must justify the existence of this new subforum. I know we've had a few of these threads in the past, but this will be a chance to have one here.

I'll go first.

06 4Runner Limited, 4.7L v8. Currently 256,000ish miles. Mostly stock, has a mild leveling lift on the front. Just put a set of 265/65/18 Milestar Patagonia AT Pro tires on it, on the recommendation of my local shop.

Built a box out of 3/4 plywood and covered it in bedliner paint to go in the back. There's just enough room between it and my seats to have a Plano tote with tools, recovery gear, extra water,etc.

Sometimes I pull the box out, fold the seats down, and sleep in one side, with coolers and totes in the other side as needed.


Now let's see some other rigs!

Just picked up to start building it's a 1992 montero. 1 owner. 225k miles. And paid $1 for it. Hope to have it ready for my December hunts. Doing everything myself. Got a build thread started as some ask me to keep them updated..just search Montero.

My hunting truck for past 8 years is below. 2017 f250 with a diy build sleeping platform in the back for this fall...it changes between the topper and a locked tonneau depending on the hunt.

Both rigs are cool, but I really like that Montero!

This has been on go-kart duty for the past 10ish years. Slowly making it what I want. Has 5.29's, spool/spartan, skinny 35's. Good suspension is next on the list unless a turbo cuts in line

I’m using a 2005 Lexus GX470. It has a 3” Bilstien lift, custom front bumper with white and amber LED fogs, roof rack/awning and I just put in a set of Dobson drawers.

2009 GMC Sierra 1500 with 192,500 miles

2002 Isuzu Trooper

- Bought in 2022
- Auto transmission (notoriously bad) crapped out in 2023 during elk season
- Swapped in a manual transmission in 2024 and the Trooper has been living up to its name since
- I’ve done a decent bit of work along the way - brakes, rotors, wheel bearings, ball joints, cv boots, fluids, roof rack
- next up: light bar (headlights and hi beams are really not great)

I never saw an Isuzu in any of the other vehicle threads, but I also never bothered to post. Proud to put the first picture of an Isuzu on the Rok!

First hunting rig, an '05 Camry:
Then a '14 Forester:

And now and '08 Tundra:

Just starting to get some convenience upgrades done to the tundra. Broke the back glass so I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone and try to prevent that from happening and make an easy place to mount lights. I also swapped the head unit and put a backup camera and a front facing trail clearance camera in it.

A dodge ram 3500 and a 18 ft stock trailer. Lot's of room.

 

[wweaver]

2020 TRD Off road Tacoma. Basically a Swiss Army knife truck. Alu cab canopy camper / 63 quart arb fridge running off solar on roof, old man emu heavy 7 leaf +500 lb Dakar springs to support it all. A few lights and winch on the front, Goodyear boulder MT tires which are new - highly recommend these. Just spent three weeks on bad roads and they have been great in Co, NV and WY. Will go anywhere and very comfortable to sleep in. Getting in and out of the top bed part requires some planned movements at 6 1”.

 

[Nykki]

03 Dodge 2500, Cummins and a six speed manual. I pull a twenty foot flat bed trailer with the wheelers and meat trailers on it. It's an eight hour drive from the house to my hunting spot.

 

[M1SF1T]

2023 F350 shortbox with the Powerstroke.
Northern Light 610 truck camper rides in the box and I pull a 20' deckover for the quads, gear box, fuel, and other bulk gear.
