In reply to: In reply to: Jeep Wrangler for me! Their smaller body size and great off roading capability really come in handy for the bumpy approaches or tight fit between trees. The only downside is that there really isnt a whole lot of cargo space for gear! Oh well, its still great to take the top and the doors off and head out to the local crag! I'm with quickt on this one. I have a Wrangler and think its the greatest. http://community.webshots.com/photo/71993564/72143858DSNaKb They have came out with an extended wheel base Wrangler that can hold alittle more cargo...that would be killer too.
yeah...i have a 94/4"lift/33's....most fun...most reliable vehicle i ever owned...

Want: Tacoma (extended cab, 4x4, topper)
Have: '91 Mazda pick 'em-up truck, the greatest thing on four wheels. Would like to have 2 more cylinders, maybe 4x4 too, but the extended cab and decked-out topper (with 2 side doors, window cranks, sliding cab window, curtains & shelves) make up for it. It carries bikes, gear, dog, and sleeps two. All this for 27mpg.
Also Have & Suggest: Mountain bike w/BOB trailer. Fuel economy like nobody's bizness, makes V6 & 4x4 irrelevant, and covers ground much faster than feet. (walking is SO passe!) The trailer will carry all the gear you can think of, even a crashpad. 10 mile approach suddenly becomes feasible.
Bike bike bike bike bike bike!!!!

There's a kid around here that has an old cadillac hearse that has been modified with 4 wheel drive, flame paint job, dual exhausts, a yak rack, tinted windows, winches front & rear, and the words Totally Pointless painted on the sides. The best part is he has an old casket in the back that doubles as a gear locker/ sleeping area. This gets my vote.

My '93 Firebird has gotten me some pretty nice parking spots out in the backcountry. :D

In reply to: i drive an olds silhoute w/ all the seats out...the place to reside on long term climbing trips....oh yeah, it gets 27mpg. how do you suvs like that?!
Well, I just bought a 2002 Subaru Forester, and in the log I've kept so far (2 months of driving, a mix of town and highway), I'm getting about 23 mpg. The 2004 Silhouette specs list a maximum of 26 mpg with FWD and 24 mpg with AWD, so you're probably listing the higher end of mpg.
The 2004 Silhouette weighs 3,948 lbs, while my 2002 Forester weighs 3,289 lbs; the Forester has full-time AWD. Interesting! Of course, the Forester is in the small SUV category; I shudder to think of a vehicle doing less than 20 mpg, especially after getting high 20's and low 30's with my Integra.

Honda XR650, just cant bring your crash pad.
If not that then 93 Toyota 4X4 Xcab complete with gun rack and Slipknot blazing.
But mostly my wife lets me take her Saturn Station Wagon (traction control rules).
