What's everyone running for a patch vehicle? I am running a 2008 f350 diesel. I'm thinking of picking up a Jeep TJ as a second vehicle that I would put a bit of a lift and some 35x12.5 tires (and maybe some lockers). Curious if anyone is running something other than pickups and how they are holding up.

Basically looking for something that will get me into really muddy lease sites a little better than a big heavy truck without totally tearing up the roads etc.

Go fast.... air conditioning lol. I have a jeep as my personal vehicle. It's a 92 commanche with 340000kms I bought off a member. I love it. It doesn't have a lift or big tires yet but its fun and light. I actually prefer driving it to my 08 F-350 to be honest. :sHa_shakeshout:

I used to have a 93 cherokee...very good off road vehicles, and pretty bullet proof as well. Might consider an XJ as well.

If you get a Jeep Rubicon you'll have the factory lockers already there, and just need the bigger donuts installed. The huge aftermarket support doesn't hurt either. A Toyota Tacoma would be up there too; lots of bolt-on's, lighter than a 3/4 ton and it's a Toyota! Then there's those older right hand drive import diesels like the Toyota Hilux that are all over the place; they're way light and sturdily built.

Love the yota imports, untill you need a part and you have to wait weeks for it to arrive. Alot of them still can change with regular toyotas, but the down time still sucks!! Taco or Pre runner all the way. If I didn't need a F-350 to haul Equip, I would never buy one. When I can, I drive my 03 taco everywere!

I've taken my Rubicon 4 dr. places I wouldn't (couldn't) go on a quad. Only reason I have a winch on it is to pull the rr's outta the ditch.
