Hunting Jeep pics

It would seem a lot of folks on here prefer the UTVs, but for those that use Jeeps, how about posting some pics?

Heres mine its all muddy now

Day i bought my 20012 home next to my 76 cj5 which i have sold since

Sold my cj and bought this which never gets used..

Why ?

I currently have both an 89 and 94 Cherokees but no pics at this time

One of those mistakes in life you wish you could go back in time and change...

My 1984 CJ7. Built all the racks myself

I guess there are fewer jeeps in use than I thought.

88 wrangler on 35's but don't have any pics.

My wife's 2011 in the foreground and the '81 in the background.

Wife said I could take her four door out so I tested it in the mud

Nice rig!!

Here it is cleaned up looking for antelope. It has had some up grades since then.

I think you missed a spot

Nice!

here is mine

Misleading thread, I see only two "Hunting" jeeps on here. The rest are just modified grocery getters.

Good looking jeeps

Hey Chuck how's this you ever seen a grocery getter with a dead antelope on top?

LOL

LOL, that blind has a Jeep stuck underneath.

-or-

LOL, I'm sure there are lots of after-market Jeep roofs available - certainly there is one available that fits better than this one. Though I'm sure none of them will double as a blind like this one.

Seriously though, nice Jeep, nice blind.

Would love to get some info from ya about that gun mount for the JK? did you make it or buy it?

Nope that is a first, but I have seen a 94 chevy beretta with a whitetail strapped across the trunk. Girl friend wasn't real happy about that but my truck was in the shop. SO what's your point.

Point is throwing a chunk of plywood on top of a jeep don't make a hunting rig, it makes a jeep with a box on it. I guess mine is a grocery getter though, the groceries just still have the hair on em.

never got groceries in my jeep..hmmm maybe next year I will draw a tag for groceries and tag out!

They are made by a company in north Texas. I have been using one this year (after seeing this same pic) & really like it. Their website is at:
http://www.overheadgunrack.com/

Here's mine. It's a 95' YJ with a custom built front end. The seats have since been cut off with a torch. The guy I bought it from used it for quail hunting. It'll come in handy for hauling corn, ice chests, dead stuff, you know...

added a snorkel ripped out the carpet and monster lined the cab of my grocery getter.

This is my 1981 CJ5. I built both front and rear bumpers. Installed a 10,00 pound Milemarker winch, Stowmaster tow bar, removable 12 foot gin poles and road feeder on the front. The rear has a high lift jack mounted and a vertical/horizontal tote tray which also has height adjustments. The crane is from Harbor Freight and modified a bit (shortened, electric winch and plate for a "go light").

Anybody else?

That lowered jeep is the worst thing of ever seen somebody needs to tell that guy he went the wrong way with the jeep they go up not come down

Can you legally shoot from a vehicle in Texas? I have heard both yes and no.

From Texas Parks & Wildlife regulations booklet and online:

"Legal Methods

Animals and game birds not classified as migratory may be hunted from a motor vehicle, powerboat, sailboat, or from any other floating device within the boundaries of private property or upon private water. Migratory game birds under certain circumstances may be hunted from a boat on public water. See the migratory game bird section for the exceptions (Lawful Hunting

You're the Man Geezer!!!

Just a few photos of my old jeep. It was a work horse for sure.

God I miss my old "Azz Hammer" till I get in my Ranger and not lose any fillings!! Old 54 Willys CJ3B did me good..

Anybody else?

Didn't quite make it lol

wfhunter I love the racks you have on your jeep. Hard to build?

Sold this but wish I had it back. 91 YJ

our 98 tj

Reviving this in hopes of seeing additional examples.

1993, 4 inch lift, 34x10.5 inch Super Swampers, still needs a lot of parts but bumpers rock sliders and fenders are going to be homemade. Trying to figure out how to mount gun scabbards in this thing is like trying to put and elephant in a smart car.

This '91 jeep wrangler 4 cylinder became a Mexican Jeep this last season!!!! Pimped just right for the Mexico Brush!!!

That trail almost killed her. Had to tether to a tree in front of me before I could let off the brake and give it gas again. Worth it.

Next time take a better line up the hill and you won't have to pull winch

Glad you said it. But I think that if he had traction he could have made that like he had, it wouldn't be easy but I think it was doable

Yeah, it looks like a bit further and the driver rear would've dropped and leveled out. Hard to say from pics though. I have a lot of pictures from crazy obstacles that look tame in the photos.

I'll have to update this thread before long, my jeep is getting some major upgrades

For the record your both right. I took a bad line and the front tire just lifted. If you look at the back driver tire there is a ravine probably about 6 feet deep straight down. I figure i was about 1 foot up the hill from it. But since I couldn't tell, I kept my foot on the break and had my buddy tether me just incase I rolled back a little when I put it in gear. That hill is much worse in real life than it looks in the picture. It all worked out tho. That jeep may have a 4 cylinder, but she's a tuff little b**.

My 84 CJ7. I traded it for a Polaris Ranger.

I understand, I attempted a hill much like that one in my "08 F-250 in the snow, things didnt work out to well for me. I had to abandone the truck and locate help. If it I had been in my Jeep and would have just hammered down and hoped for the best. The 4 cylinders are very good motors when proper gearing is in place.

1971 CJ5 as I picked it up in Dec.



Been working on it since....





The first Jeep my father and I built in 1983...68 CJ5

Added new fender flares and a few LED lights to our hunting jeep, what do yall think?

As my old girl sits this evening....

Reviving this again. I like looking at Jeeps!

Me too...

cool

WTH is that?!?!? Somebody need an arse whoopin'!!

Anybody else?

Mines in the back 2000 sport. Absolutely nothing special or pretty.

Cool!

Nice CJ-5... from the looks it appears to be rocking a V-8?

Yep, It came with the stock AMC 304, but I had it replaced with a AMC 360. It has plenty of power!

great job

'74 CJ5, my hunting rig, The one in the front, '82 CJ7 w/350 engine and 350 Turbo Automatic, my play toy!

1990 Jeep YJ

Not the best picture but old 1969 Jeep we still use. The old jeep is super quite I swear you can barley hear it running sometimes

I think the before pics are on this thread somewhere. This is my wife's that I take out hunting sometimes, she had a little work done on it while I was out hunting the other day.

Here's our 1946 Willys....named "Nellybelle". Texans may recognize the guy in the right front seat, former Cowboy quarterback. Rear seat is former KC Chiefs kicker Nick Lowery.

that's my next toy. gotta sale my 4 wheeler first.

that's my next toy. gotta sale my 4 wheeler first.

Anybody else?

Just got this 2006 Rubicon for mountain trekking. Built in axle lock.

Makes sure rear axle gears support those tires. Let's just say I've spent some time in one that didn't and it was gutless.

Thanks I'll check that out.

My nephew and I are resurrecting his old 1974 DJ5 postal Jeep. Drug it to my shop, have replaced shocks and tires, installed new u-joints. Pulled the sliding doors and repaired the slider systems. Cut out the old dented rear bumper and built new one. We are working on the fuel system now, pulled the tank for clean out and will re-do the fuel lines and filter. We will remove the body rust and camo paint the entire Jeep. I have figured and we will soon buy the material to build a two seat high rack for our night time coyote hunting. Although we both have digital night vision scopes, we will install LED lighting on the high rack as well. I just have to design an elevator to lift my tired old worn out butt to the top. My nephew just retired after 20 years U.S.A.F. service. He deserves some relaxing hunting time. I am mighty proud of him and all our veterans.

Nice!!

This is my 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 62k miles that I have had since 1999. It was my vehicle through high school and most of college. When I moved to Texas in 2005 I left it with my parents. They moved to Longview in 2007 and told me I could have it back whenever I had space for it. Well, I recently made space and got it last weekend. It's all original except for the stereo and speakers, but that's all about to change.

The rubicon comes with 4.11 gears, fine with up to 33's. Suggest researching the ODPA issues in the 05-06 jeeps

OK yeah that's a little spooky. No issues yet but 1)what is the potential for damage and 2)how expensive is a preventative change out?

Thanks for the heads up.

The rubi's also come with Dana 44 axles which I plenty for 33's

I run 35s on an 8.8 that's locked about the same as a 44 no issues

Depending on your driving style a 44 can plenty for 37s or bigger. You can snap any axle if try. For most people's driving it isn't going to happen

TOYOTA D4D 3L Diesel dub cab

Progress on Jeep project. Platform built and mounted. Rail padding, 12 volt wiring and light mounting pretty much all we have left to do.

Here is mine. Has a hardtop now. 1980 CJ.
Automatic lockers, front and rear
One piece axels
Viair on board air
33 inch tires

Beaubien--- nice CJ

That sure is a big ole tank of nitrous you got mounted on the back.

1995 YJ with 200K miles. 2.5 4 cyl. and a DIY Raptor liner paint job

The axle isn't the issue, the gears are the issue. Judging by your prior posts, I think you're well versed in that, but I wanted to make sure it was clear, as mentioned earlier, that the gearing is what needs to be changed in the D44 when going up in tire size. I have the D35 in my TJ Sahara, so I'm looking to swap up to a D44 with probably 4.88 gears, then adding air lockers in front and rear, suspension lift, new fenders, bumpers, winch, rock sliders... let the spending begin.

Bump

Ready for the first hunt.

Great idea, but I think to bulky.

Thanks, you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

But hey, no offensive...

None taken texsider, seriously. Some will like the design, some won't. We built it strictly for pasture use, and so far it has worked well for us. Again, no offense taken.

Nice looking Rigs

Any more?

New pics coming, when the parts arrive

Bump for more pics of hunting Jeeps.

Any more

here is mine

Here is my CJ:

Who built your high-ride seat insert w/ gun rack and basket?

Some guys in Corpus that do good aluminum work.
Called Blue Streak Engineering.
Mostly do aluminum work for boats. Do good work.
They did my kawasaki mule also.

I had a Jeep that looked very similar to that one with the camo wrap and front mounted cargo carrier.

Likely!!!

I would like to some day build a nice Chevy powered Jeep, but for now I have to pull my Rhino to the lease and mud park.

My second jeep love these stupid things

Just purchased this 1992 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 last weekend. Every thing works on it, to include the AC and heater. 3" Rough Country lift and shocks with Dana 35/30 rear/front axles.

Before I drive it out to the lease (registration and inspection stickers still valid) for archery opener, I'm going to paint it OD green, add some hood vents, and modify the door hinges to make 'em quick removable doors like a Wrangler. After that, I'll add an LED bar, a front-mounted winch, and...well, y'all are Jeep owners; you know the modifications/upgrades/additions are never done.

Still coming along...Hope to have it on the road by Christmas.

Looks nice.

Dang, that's too pretty to turn into a hunting rig.

My Grandpa's 1967 CJ-5 that I learned to drive with. Sold in 1988.

My 1982 CJ-8 that I have been using for hunting and Ranch use for almost 20 years:

Any more contributors?

My WJ. Pretty basic stuff done to it, I'm at a crossroad right now as to what to do next as far as selling it or going deeper into this one.

Anybody have a jeep they wanna sell? Looking to buy a a wrangler or a rubicon with the inline 6

I'd look at the LJ as well if I were on the market. The longer wheel base, d44 rear, and extra space help in more way than one.

An LJ rubicon is up on my list of "dream cars" for sure.

Those sure are hard to find that's for sure!

Try eBay.

A lot of dealers from TX sell on there and have good reputations. A client of mine bought a car from one of them and got a great example. It used to be more sketchy but since they started cracking down on sellers you have to do things clean or they'll burn you hard on the reviews.

Just check the feedback.

Gotten a little bit more done...still hope to have on road by Christmas.

Anybody else out there?

Here's mine. Just getting started on it. Hope it turns out as nice as all of yours.

Its been a while. Anybody else have anything to share? Especially interested in seeing older Jeeps that are dedicated to full-time ranch or lease duties.

I have this one listed in classifieds we have had a lot of fun with it around the ranch. I have an M38 that I am about to start on. I will post some pics before I start and update it as it progresses.

Here's a few of my 92 Cherokee Sport that is a full-time live-at-the-lease vehicle. Need to add this season: front-mounted winch, trailer hitch/receiver, cargo basket onto said hitch, LED lighting on front and rear.

Does anyone have any new additions?

81 CJ-5.

Bump.

Any new additions?

I have pics but not sure how to cut/paste them...?

That's a shame. This thread is languishing.

Here's our jeep.

Sweet !!!!!!!!

Here is our 1968 Jeep. It's had some engine work, upholstery, and 'new' 85 Blazer rear seat put in. The jeep never leaves the ranch. It is my primary tow vehicle for my bass boat.

would you sell those seats you cut off?

got the old beast on the road, and I have some good flex for an old dog.

Nice

It is rough getting to my blind! LOL

1977 FJ40

nice 1977 jeep.

^^ I want this.

Made a trade for this jeep this weekend. No title but was told it is a 59 Willys. Will have to do some research. Motor cranks & runs. New radiator, carburetor, distributor & wiring replaced. Jeep runs & 4 wheel drive works. No brakes but fellow did have a new master cylinder for the jeep stll in the box. So that will be the first project. At one time someone had started a rack project on the back. Not sure why I needed it since I no longer hunt. May fix up or just decide to sell/trade down the road.

Me too !!! I had two . 73 and 74 ....... Stupid me sold them !!!!!

'85 CJ-7

Tx KC, you going to put the deer on top? That lift is tall enough. I got an 81, where did you buy the top? Mine has snaps, see in your photo. Need that color to match my interior. Was it hard to install that style?

^^^^ The top is just a standard Bestop I put on to replace the original. I think you can get a direct replacement for the original. It's been on there so long I don't remember where I got it. The lift I made out of some scrap I had in my shop. It swivels just below the winch so I can raise a deer and swing it into the bed of my truck. It works really well with the drop down leg that retracts.

99 Cherokee Sport with a 3 inch lift running Maxxis Bighorns in 265/75/16.

It's not a Jeep but it has survived the abuse on the lease for the Past 8 years.

Mr. Clean, what tire setup are you running on that rodeo on the trailer?
I just picked one up for my lease and I'm excited to turn it into something like yours!

That’s a Pathfinder

My bad, looks really similar to the Isuzu Rodeo I just bought.

My new project!

Bump.

Looks like a cool project, still got the original 4 banger?

Yes 1954 CJ-3 with the original tall head engine....

L Head 4 banger with a pickup cab, a rarity thees days for sure. Congrats on your acquisition.

I think there's a song about Jeeps. Money money money.

Here is my Scrambler that I stupidly sold a few years back - was a sweet hunting ride

Bump for more Jeeps.

Keep'em coming

Here is my 50th Birthday Present Jeep...a shot just after installing leveling springs and a few action shots.

What light bar are you using? Do you like it? Is that a 50" single or double? I have been doing some research trying to figure out which one to buy. I have been looking at this one from Black Oak. https://www.blackoakled.com/collections/double-row-led/products/50-inch-double-row-light-bar It has good reviews. Just curious which one you are using.

My daily driver

Hornet, it looks like you rode him to much. He had to take a nap. What kind of saddle do you use?

Nice big ol 8...

Nice deer for sure..... strange headlights though!

Very nice!

That thing is sweet!!!

I've never seen them on another. They came on it when I bought it. I love them though. Super bright!

Love those old wagoneers......

Got mine on the road this weekend with a ton of help from John (TEXASLEFTY)

First time it has been driven since 1995.

Bump for more Jeeps.

I would not even want to get that one dirty

Here's a picture of my "grocery getter". This is the newest of three. Unfortunately, its the only one drivable right now.

I sold this totally restored Scrambler some years back - big mistake - give anything to have it back today -

Annual bump.

Annual bump for pics of any hunting Jeeps.

I love 'em. My back does not.

This thread was started NINE YEARS AGO! That is crazy - still my favorite Scrambler - cannot believe I sold it!

Not much of a rig yet but this my starting point.

This 1977 CJ5 (304 3 spd ) was abandoned on our lease for over 6 years. Son and I got it running and driving. Lots of issues - frame is rusty and body looks to be a fiberglass replacement which is cracked all over but she will work.

hit big like button here.

anybody in the DFW area have CJ parts for sale let me know

Going to need a window frame, leaf springs at a minimum. Mounting Brackets for the rear leafs also ..... finishing swapping all the fluids and adjusting carb but I was amazed how well it drives for being neglected most of its life.

You can only put a sled and half an elk inside the small two door Jeep. The Smittybilt rollout drawer box is nice, but does take up a bunch of room. Then you hang the hindquarters on the front bumper. Looks like a bad traffic accident!!!

Annual bump for pics of any hunting Jeeps.

Don't have really good photo's. But we retired the old 1999 Cherokee to the farm a few years ago.



It's not stuck, I backed into the mud for the photo, then drove out.

Dedicated lease jeep. I store it in an insulated container.

Verde

good looking jeeps

My current ride is a couple of pages back. This is what I drove in the early 2000's. It was street legal and got into an accident in 2007. The entire body is handmade out of heavy gauge steel and was darn near bullet proof.

Not sure how I've missed this one all these years, but dang, awesome thread!
