Let's See Your Dirtbagmobiles!

psycho,

That looks familiar. It's happened to two of my vehicles. The first one burned in the Smokeys while I was on a week-long fishing trip.

So that was before you got the elk meat, right?

 

[psycho]

correct. I lucked out it happened before I picked up the meat and not after or I would have been real bummed.

Did you ever figure out the cause of the fire?

 

[psycho]

No. My only guess is grass and twigs got caught between skid plates and exhaust which then caught the fuel line then the transmission as it went quick. Some of the roads I drove on hadn't seen any action in a while so its possible. I wrapped the exhaust on my new jeep just in case.

330k & still going. Been all over the Sierras, NM & the west. Hauled a few elk whole.Can't count the cords of firewood it has hauled. Base camp for 90% of my hunting trips.

Sounds like a partnership between the right truck and the right maintenance. Roll on, Taco.

El Unit, that is basically the flatbed I put on mine, added a dual spare carrier. This is her all loaded out for hunting.

This is the ole silver streak's third reincarnation and second salvage roadworthy title... She's pretty but I think 2 rebuilds makes her a dirtbag candidate haha. Most recent rebuild I rolled her going ~70 near Kit Carson, first bad experience with black ice. Lemonade from lemons I suppose.

Primer gray would actually be a pretty sweet final color. Nice looking Jeep.

Heres my Dirtbagmobiles ..The green Yota has been EVERYWHERE 5:29 gears front and rear lockers and a 8k lb winch and Im pretty much good to go !!! The GMC is a 2500hd Duramax its old and has cost me 10k dollars in injectors but I cant afford a new truck so its gonna be around for a while, its tuned and has newer style injectors in it now so it runs and drives pretty damn well for its age. We have a love hate relationship .lol.

Madman - way too classy for this thread. I like it. It is no dirtbagmobile.
