Feel free to make me an offer on this. Just need to get it out of the garage.

Probably an F150. Maybe a Duramax Silverado. I'm interested in seeing how the new diesel Grand Cherokee does in "real world" use though.

2005 Duc Monster S4R - Termi exhaust, K&N, bar end mirrors (installed after this pic was taken) 1998 Mustang GT (my first car) - Maximum Motorsports suspension, full exhaust, and a few other parts sitting in the garage waiting to go on (Bullitt brakes, PI heads and intake, etc)

I upgraded to a Bluetooth Pioneer head unit, so I'm trying to sell my Scion stuff. Before I took it out, the satellite radio stopped working. The head unit said "no signal" even though everything was hooked up and activated. It's possible it's something as simple as a connection working...

A one way rental will not work as the empty coolers are going up there with us. I suppose we could look into using cheap or even disposable styrofoam coolers and doing a one way rental. Hmm, that may work actually... We talked about shipping the stuff, but I think that would cost as much as...

My 4Runner is the best option we have. Dad has an Explorer Sport Trac that is starting to act less than reliable, and the other guy has an old Dodge Ram 1500 extended cab that I wouldn't trust to drive across town much less across the country. My wife drives a Lexus CT200h which would be great...

I think I may get everyone to load up their clothes and hunting gear to do a "test run" in the next week or two. Maybe that'll give us a better idea how much additional capacity we're going to need.

Empty coolers on the way out there, and (hopefully!) full coolers on the way home.

We will be bringing the processed meat back home, not whole animals.

Renting a trailer will be $165 (11 days because I'd have to get it the day before the trip) + $88 for insurance. I know it's a lot less than buying a trailer, but I could buy a heavy duty hitch-mount carrier for less than that and be able to use it forever. That's my effed-up rationale...

If I go with the hitch-mounted route, I'll definitely get the exhaust turned to exit on the side instead of from the rear. It'll be enough of a challenge to keep everything cool without dumping hot exhaust back there!

We're staying in hotels while traveling and at the guide's hunting lodge while we're hunting. That helps some - all we have is clothing, guns/hunting gear, and the coolers. Since there are 3 of us, we'll be able to fold down part of the rear seat, but not all of it.

I'm going on a hunting trip with my dad and one of his friends in October. We will be driving my 4Runner to Wyoming, and while all of our gear will fit inside, I believe we're going to need extra space for coolers. Between us we have 3 mule deer tags and 2 antelope tags, so hopefully we'll be...

Sweet bike! I seriously considered a STR instead of my Monster.

I don't know how I missed this thread yesterday when I was looking for a place to whore out my Ducati pics. :shrug: I bought my first bike back in October - a 2007 Yamaha R6S: After 1500 miles of commuting, I decided it was just not comfortable enough. I don't like around like a hooligan...
