Those land cruisers are great but finding one with less than 180k on it is next to impossible. My friends with 33’s gets 13 mpg. It’ll go anywhere, but gets 13mpg…
If you have the car paid off and it only has 130,000 miles on it you’ve got it made. Run it into the ground. Buying new cars is the best way to burn cash in America. That being said if I were to burn some cash I’d import a Hilux. Rode in one in Nicaragua that had 350,000 HARD miles on it and ran like a top. Basically a T100 with a 2.something diesel and skidplates… I priced it and it’d be around 35k after you got it to Atlanta. Then there’s the whole registration and emissions thing…
The toyotas are nice but as mentioned they’ve gone away from the bulletproof late 80s-early00s design to have a luxury model now available. The Wranglers are very nice but you are paying a hefty sum for a vehicle that excels at nothing at all(the 4doors have too long a wheelbase to be viable offroad stock). You cant even get a 5spd, manual lever 4wd tacoma anymore. Used trucks are almost the same price as new ones right now. Especially 4wd. If you are planning on towing a lot get something big. As far as new cars go you’d be better off just buying a truck and swallow the cost and gas. Subaru’s are very expensive for the mileage and maintenance costs, then factor in pulling a boat. Selectable 4wd is your friend. I am probably not a great person to ask though considering I drive a 95 trooper 4wd 5spd that gets 19 mpg with 205,000 miles on it
I find my coleman extreme lasts 3 days in the GA heat in a black car full of a 30 pack and ice. A yeti last 6 days with the same contents. Thats awesome and I think the Yeti is worth the money. I’m not paying for it but check out Orca coolers for the same price as the yeti. THeir profit margin goes to the charity you choose. I’ll just buy more ice… By the way I dont rep Yeti or Orca I just think if you’re going to spend the money have some of it go to breast cancer, or veterans, or old people, or anything else that orca donates to.

No regard for human life is a strict requirementHey Zach, yes Arkansas hunting is a little different from Georgia. Because they waved you off with a light and said they “camped” there, I’d say they had you beat. In GA its not uncommon to get there at Midnight to beat the camping rules and be there earlier than anyone else. I’ve been to many GA spots at midnight just to shoot woodies. Thats the nature of GA duck hunting. As you said, it looked like a good duck spot, and after all we are in GA. As for you ruining their hunt I will say admitting you shot at ducks you say you likely wouldn’t kill puts you in the duck dynasty category. By that I mean all these new duck hunters ruining duck hunting by simply not knowing etiquitte. Think of it this way. In AR people hunt the same hole simply because its crowded and there are ducks. If you shoot the ducks everyone is working into a hole on your side of the hole then more power to you… IN ARKANSAS. Even if you set up a reasonable distance away there is no reason to shoot at ducks you dont KNOW you can kill. There was just an article about this exact same thing going on in GON. Hunters shooting at ducks they had no business pulling the trigger for and thus ruining neighboring hunters chances because they were working said ducks closer. Our running joke in AR and MS is don’t shoot till you see the whites of their eyes or the webbing in their toes. Bottom line is there are no ducks in GA. If you’d like I can PM you some spots in MS that are nice for a DIY hunt. Fiberglass boats will not be nice out there however. I’m leaving for AR Christmas day through New Years and will pass along any info I get but we will be hunting public land the entire time. From what I understand is the duck equivelant of NY steelhead, unless you have someone in the know. My buddy has just returned with a record of 119 mallards in 20 days between him and his buddies. MS around MLK weekend is a paradise but the mallards are smart. It’s a trade off, the ducks are smart but you are the only duck hunter for miles.
Your car may start like this(notice the clear GA boys do MS with all the woodies)
and end up like this
