I had a '99 S-10 ZR2, but there was constantly something going wrong with that thing. It was a real money pit. Now I have a '91 Nissan pickup with a flatbed on it. I've had it for a couple years now and it seems to be holding up really well. The thing rides so rough that you can't drive it fast enough to tear it apart.

Poach Wagon is now gone so I am rigless. My favorite was my 98 Dodge 2500 4x4 etendend cab shortbox. Other than it having a V10 it was the perfect hunting rig. Now I am in the market for a new rig. Wish I could find another Dodge like the one I had but I have a limited budget. Sux not having a rig and being stuck at home all the time. Hopefully I will find one soon.

I get about 32mpg in the woods, I don't know about on the road as if I hunt more than a hour from the house I trailer it. I did alot of work to it last winter to make it lower geared, I put 538s in the 3rd members and a 6.5-1 transfer case rebuild kit in it, it is low.Acually now that I think about it I haven't checked it after I geared it and I use about another gallon each trip now.
