New Guy....New Project
Just picked this up the other day for a hunting truck project and was looking for ideas. It has some rust in front of the rear wheels, It is going to the shop tomorrow to have it fixed. Going to add a bull bar, and some lights, new tires and wheels, small lift, exhaust, and cold air intake. You guys got any other must haves for a duck hunting/sometime off roading toy?

Does it have skid plates on the bottom? Also I would get some 31" M/T's if you weren't already planning on that

Does not have skid plates, but it will now. Never thought of that. It is going to be used to waterfowl hunt a lot in dry corn. So I am going to do lights along the top that shine out to the sides for putting decoys out before daylight. Any of you guys seen anything like that done, or have any ideas.

I'd recommend starting with tires, unless you think you'll want to lift it. I got 30" BFGoodrich TA KOs, which do not require a lift, and they are perfect for the mud and gravel I've gone through.
Rooflights help out a lot when its dark out. I got 4x55w lights on my roof and they do wonders, I'd love to see what 100w lights would do.
Our models unfortunately do not have a strong market for bull bars. Only one I found designed for our model is $900ish new. Some people have had success modifying the 98+ bull bars though.

I have a bull bar I want to sell seems like you're kinda close to me maybe we could meet half way or something? I'd sell it for $50, its the one in some of my pics in my photo albums. Just painted it a while ago just a few small dents nothing too bad.
