    1997 GMC Safari extended with both back seats out. Huge amount of room with access from back and side. More space than some pick-ups with toppers. My junk stays dry and I can lock it all up.

    I love this thread, but it makes me jealous.

    I want to buy a new car next year and (providing I start the new job I'm after) I have been thinking about getting a Range Rover. They are built near me and I always liked the idea of buying from a company that employs locally . . . BUT . . . I read this thread a few days ago and it goy me thinking more about Mitsubishi Warriors and other similar vehicles. Space in the back to scrap and do other manly stuff, but also I would have plenty of seats to still use it as a family car.

    If your going to get a new vehicle, and its not a pickup I would suggest getting a trailer also. I have a pickup and I only use it to haul certain items, the rest goes into my trailer. Less stress on the vehicle.

    3/4 ton Chevy for local loading/hauling. 3/4 ton Dodge diesel for long distance/heavy loads and a 16' open trailer with gate. The trailer has been the best investment I have made. Bought it about 5 years ago for construction work. Using it more now than ever.

    Picked up a '88 Chevy 2500 4x4 350 auto. Brother tells me it's a heavy half. I don't know enough about these to know. It says 2500 on the door, but he seems to think that because it's a 6 lug, it's only a heavy half.

    Hopefully it will serve me well.

    Paid $900. Has a decent rack, newer tires, and brand new tool box on it.

    I've always thought 6-lugs showed it was a 4WD. I had a Heavy Half and it was badged 1500.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    It's fairly straight on both sides. Left front fender has a crease. Says he hit a deer. Has the typical paint peel here and there.

    I might toss up a few more pics later.

    83 Silverado up until a couple weeks ago when it gave up the ghost :-( Looking to get a 93 Ford E 350. I will have to change the way I do things with the switch to a van but the deal is to good to pass up.

    I use my toy hauling 01 f350 diesel. Cost a little more in fuel I guess but It dont get weighed down as easy and I dont have any problems getting up to speed.
