1990 Grand Wagoneer Jeep (pronounced "heap"). One of the happiest days in my life was when the guys who sold it to me took it back in trade on a Toyota T100 4x4 in 1997.

I still have a 1986 T100 Extended Cab and it has 224,000 miles on the odo smile
I do not use it much any more, but she always starts and is reliable. Mostly my dove hunting truck now.

Mike, the T100 took son Sam through college, when he finished college, it returned home. The plan was to drive it forever. In August of 2009, during the cash for clunker program, I used it to buy the little girl in the photo a new Subaru Outback. She ain't so little any more and I miss that truck.

Well, both my son and daughter got old 1985 or 86 K5 Blazers with the build in roll bars and we called them the Urban Assault Vehicles.
They made it through their teenage years and now are in their 40s. WHEW!!

The daughter's Blazer had a 454 with double pumper Holly spreadbore, RV cam and headers. Got pretty good gas mileage as she rarely used the secondaries smile

Shooting brake, American style:





LT-1 powered 1996 Buick Roadmaster wagon. I've owned 2 of these, one with the old throttle body 350, that I converted to a small block 400 with the 350 heads and injection, and this one. It can tow 7000 pounds with 750 lbs of tongue weight, and gets 25mpg all the time on the freeway without the trailer. I still have it, just over 100,000 miles, but, it saw a lot of winters before I had it, and it is getting tacky-it needed a new muffler on this trip, but, if you are going to look like white trash, you might as well sound like it, too.

The local chapter of the Impala club has a few nutcases who build up the LT-1, put gears in them, and run silly low times on the strip. My back gets sore thinking about working on this pig.

Cute Colombian chick with French shotgun not included. Unless you import your own copy.

Best,
Ted

A great hunting rig. The trailer holds four dogs The van has Posi-traction and goes just about anywhere complete with bunk, table, cabinets and most of the comforts of home. The cook shack is for when we arrive in numbers. I live in it up to 6 months of the year hunting and fishing.



The boat fits under the bunk.

I've never seen an outboard gas engine like that before.
Is it a converted weed-whacker?

I think he was a Ford guy. A friend assures me Jesus was a Ford guy, too-he went everywhere barefoot because his shoes wore out from walking, because the Ford would never run!

Worth noting, the wagons work best at boat launches when they have the limited slip rear differential. Mine all did, but a friend had one with an open rear end, and it spent more time stuck at various places then mine did.

I think the little motor, above, is called a "Mud Bug" specifically for duck boats and what-not. They will run in really shallow water.

Ted

Clark Griswold drove a "Family Truckster" which was a modified Dodge or Chrysler.....(yikes)... Our family shooting brake is a 2010 AWD Ford Flex with 140K on the clock....I can get as much crap in it as I could with my Expeditions and Suburban's. Hope to find another low mileage twin turbo version.
