gl, Thanks for the reminder of the good ol'days. Your saying about the ol' Toy truck, "When it runs it never gets stuck" reminded me of 40 years ago when we had a saying "I ain't stuck but I just can't go". Back then we ran 9.00X16 Non-directionals on everything except Momma's car, a whole pile of little Jeeps, Willys wagons and several (brand new at the time), F-100s, boy could they sling some mud! Looks like the Ford buggy in the corner of your picture might deserve a little more of the "lime light". Thanks again for reminder. Treefarmer

Nice Toy gl! I had one of those when they were new :>) I bought a brand new 1983 Toyota 4x4 when I returned to the states from my tour in Puerto Rico and drove it from Florida to Oregon. I was getting fire wood one afternoon in a muddy area where the loggers had clear cutted with a buddy who was driving an old chevy pickup when he got stuck. I pulled him all the way back to the paved road throught the mud with that thing. It was awesome. All with that little 22R 4 banger. Thanks for the memories! :>)

I bought an old homemade trailer a while back and finally got around to finishing fixing it up. I still have to run some of the wiring on the right side through some black tubing and get some expanded steel for the side walls but for the most part it's done. So today I thought I'd drive my hunting cart up on it to see how well it would fit since that's the main reason I got it.

Also check out the new Florida Redneck Camo paint job I put on the cart :>) Man, I'm ready to get back int he woods.

If anyone knows where I might buy some expanded steel at a reasonable price I'd appreciate the contact info.

Just made a deal to pick this up in a couple of days, 91 Wrangler, manual transmission. I went over it pretty thoroughly today, no evidence of rust anywhere (inside or underneath), no sign of ever having an oil leak, engine is spotless and runs strong. Needs a little work, new windshield, radio needs reconnecting and seat covers. My 1st project will be to strip the carpet and apply rhino liner to the interior, I am not putting the carpet back in. Gonna make one hell of a woods truck, now i can save the paint on my Silverado.
