Nice sneakers dude. :D

Marc Z 04-14-2002 08:07 PM

97 Trooper, great in even the softest of sand. Of course its not used in CT sand, there's none to drive on.
(wish I knew how to post a picture, oh well)

Thanks Spec. It's the older sister of your truck that's been around the block.... ;)

Hmmm - new truck & new boat, you hiring?

179 04-15-2002 09:57 AM

LOL!
 
Well John, I wish we were hiring. Actually the wife really dislikes the truck, says it's too dam big, so I might have to get rid of it. She wants one of those SUV things........

fishsmith 04-15-2002 03:17 PM

Swede,
You could pick off those pesky piping plovers (and some real slow wagoneers) going out on Duxbury beach with that bad boy.

Scotch Bonnet 04-15-2002 05:33 PM

Hey Swede, can I borrow that battleship for the up-coming "tourist season". I just have to find out the bag limit!!!!!

Jenn 04-15-2002 10:27 PM

well......I cant help myself......oddly enough we put a deposit on a 4runner tonite.........the tree-fiddy will have to go......:( :( :(

I know this sounds crazy but I think I am gonna cry......:( :(

livewhya 04-15-2002 10:57 PM

4 runner is NICE!!!!!
 
that is a sweet truck! my brother has one with the sport pkg Everything from the frame to the Paint job is awesome! very well built.
I liked the land rover because it has an aluminum body and does better around the salt, but the 4 runner is a great choice ! good luck with it.
best Marty
PS always looking for old Lures for my collection!!!!!!!!!!

We'll miss the old girl - but a 4-Runner? Thems small (but very nice trucks - I used to work at a Toy Shop)

Saltheart 04-16-2002 07:47 AM

1996 Chevy Blazer. never got stuck. Towed many people out when they dug in and bottomed out including trucks bigger than mine. I have a ski rack on top for the rods. Truck has been good to me.

chris L 04-16-2002 08:47 AM

97 Toyota T100 rod racks on bumper and top of cap
I also have 2 front mounted 50 cal mini guns for the non drivers in front of me . I also carry handgrenades for passing morons ;).\

Karl Nice ride !!!!

striperjerk1 04-16-2002 12:32 PM

i have a blue 1984 f-250 ,runs like a top.

schoolie monster 04-16-2002 02:54 PM

1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport and yet to see sand... a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

We may actually give the ol' sport one more trip to Nantucket if it lives thru the summer (no problems but my wife drives it so I can't assume).

STRIPER77 04-16-2002 07:40 PM

JENN---What's a "tree-fiddy" ????:confused: Inquiring mind wants to know.

Scotch Bonnet 04-16-2002 07:44 PM

Maybe a Ford F350????

JohnR 04-16-2002 08:38 PM

exactomundo tree fiddy - dats "Twee" an "Fiddy"

AnthonyN 04-17-2002 04:31 AM

You guys got some nice fishing buggys.... I have a 1986 Blazer.. Its not pretty but it runs well. It is also great offroad espcially in the soft stuff mud,sand. With the seat folded down i have the cargo area of a small pickup and i can fit 10FT rods in the cabin so it works well for me!

Steve K 04-17-2002 08:31 AM

I have a 1990 Toyota Land Cruiser that is great on the beach and has plenty of room for carrying everything that I need. I have a Thule roof rack for carrying my rods.

Jenn 04-17-2002 09:18 AM

JENN---What's a "tree-fiddy" ???? Inquiring mind wants to know.



F350 see pic above of yellow truck) I know it sure is a step in a very different direction for us but......
I will admit when we sell the old girl I will cry........we wanted something with more space inside , better fuel mileage. Not to mention something with a warranty!
I never thought I would own a rice burner....but two years ago I picked up a toyota corolla for $1000 ....she know has 168,000 miles and still going strong!!!!!! I will never buy anything but a toyota again! sorry but its where its at. and believe me I was a diehard Ford girl (trucks) and Buick (cars) before all this!!!!!

cant wait...we pick the new one up in.......7 hours!!!!

chris L 04-17-2002 02:28 PM

go for it girl friend ! rock them toyotas and they still keep on rolling . Ive owned a couple over the last 20 years and have very few complaints .
them 4 runners are nice . I would by a tundra but thats me .
ENJOY !!!!!

STRIPER77 04-17-2002 05:41 PM

I notice , from watching the news, etc. that all the trucks in Afghan. are Toyotas!!!! If they can keep running there -- they should keep running ANYWHERE!!!!!! :smash: Congratulations Jenn -- on your fine choice!!!:happy: :happy: :happy: If I'm stuck--on a narrow piece of sand--between you and the birds--it's only because I have an inferior vehicle(not because I'm trying to HOG the fish). Seriously---GOOD LUCK!!!:ss:

Jenn 04-17-2002 10:44 PM

well I spent the night cruisin in it......and it definately passed "the test"!!! my father (who complains about EVERYTHING) didnt have a SINGLE bad thing to say about it! holy crap!

seriously....we were a little sceptical because of the payments.....but now that I have driven it.....I dont feel so bad about it!!!!!! yeehaw!

JohnR 04-18-2002 12:08 PM

Jenn Good Luck with the newyoda...

Mike_M - I'm guessin' that where you're fishing starts with a "W" and ends in "E" ;) Nice sled - I like the two doors (well, and the 4 doors, and the long wheelbase...). And is that a Calcutta 400 on the roof?

redcrbbr 04-19-2002 04:04 AM
