Staying Mobile is the Key

If I get the gas cart it will be one a company used for security. They got new ones selling the old one for $500. But the deal may never go still waiting. For $2500 I would defiantly buy a jeep and fold down the windshield.

TLM, maybe a Fleet deal?? I think a jeep or truck could be had for 1500-2500-- and you could modify it cheaply But for $500 heck I will come and get the gas cart, that is a deal!

My special hunting vehicle doubles as my daily driver ;)

 

[FrankT]

Mine too but I don't hunt out of it, it gets me there and I am on foot, need to keep it in as good a shape as possible, can't afford another.

Yup, me too.

Although... I'm in the process of getting my late father's old car back on the road again. It' ain't perfect, but, it was a very nice ride and has a few more years' worth of good service left in it. '88 Olds Toronado Trofeo. The little 3.8 V6 gets 30mpg on the road. It's got a few minor issues that need some TLC, and a few minor cosmetic flaws... but I just buffed/waxed it, charged up the battery and oiled up the hinges... it's lookin' 15yrs younger than it did last week... and runs smooth. I love solid old cars.

And, then there's the beast... in the back of my driveway is my beloved '84 Hurst/Olds that I bought in '86 with 9,000 miles on it. It's got 100K on it now. I need to find a new door skin for the driver's side... some soccer mom yackin' on her cell phone backed out of her driveway and into my door (vehicle parked) while I was over at someone's house, working on his motorcycle for him.

After I get NV's. That is the next thing I am getting. I lifted, electric golf cart. Seems to be the best of both worlds.

Lots of good discussion. I've thought about getting a older blazer. The ones that the top come off. That way during those 50-70 degree nights I can remove the top for more viewing area and in the dead heat or bitter cold I can button it back up for heat/AC. They are hard to find in running condition at a decent price.

Where the hell are you guys finding carts for $500 or jeeps for $1500?

What he said!!!!

 

[Afalex1]

I don't know where to find carts for $500 right now, but every now and then www.governmentliquidators.com has leftovers from air force bases. The jeeps I haven't a clue.

G-14 classified!

My dad and I picked up a '73 CJ5 3 years ago for $2000 that needed very minor work and just picked up another '80 something Jeep that needed a new tranny for $500 about 6 months ago. all said and done, we have 2 driveable jeeps for less than $4500.

We found both of them on Craigslist.

 

[JamesB74]

Yup your right. Just saw a 99 Wrangler local for $1900. Says its still running and everything works. Don't know what's wrong with it. I like the idea of the cart. But would have to haul it everywhere. If I get some property then it would be a really good idea. Might need to look into a Toyo of some kind.

Looking at 1 95 jeep Cherokee today, looks rough for $1400...hmmm certainly cannot hurt it to modify for the leaSE!
UPDATE!
Well it was a dog, 198,000 miles, afraid its best days are past, could have gotten it less that 1000 but did not want to mess w it. Hey but the A?C and power windows worked! LOL

I picked this 79' CJ5 up for $500 from a friend. I have it running great now, but I got carried away with the build. I have about $2000 worth of parts waiting to be put on. I plan on putting a bench seat over the top of the spare tire. Suppressed hunters can use the roll bar as a rest. Unsuppressed, get your a-s out of the jeep to shoot.

Ha! I love it!!!

Actually went looking through Toyo 4 runners and taco's. Man those things are expensive unless you pick up a trashed out one. But from the looks of it. It's worth it to get one.

I sold my 1987 Toyota pickup for $2000 it had 480,000 miles on it. The original engine was still so quiet you couldn't tell it was running!
