I usually bury myself in the desert between 25 and 60 miles off the blacktop using my Tacoma 4x4, then make base camp and from there I use a honda ct110 to get to out of the way areas to detect.

I bet you got some good fuel mileage out of those. You said the engine is ready for a tune up?

We don't have any gold fields here in the Ozark Mountains but after roughly 1,500 hours labor over nearly two years I built this one of a kind street legal rock crawler I call The Mistress. It has a High Pinion Dana 60 front axle from a 79 Ford and a 14 bolt full float rear axle, custom cross over stearing, suspension, 4 wheel disk brakes, 37" tires, and on and on and on. The best part is being able to say I built it myself.

First vehicle of mine was a 49 Willys 4x4 than a 56 Chevy 2 wheel drive station wagon with a Rokon then an M38A1 24v military jeep then a Chevy LUV and now a 92 Bronco 4x4 and someday a new Toyota 4x4 Tacoma. Its been a real merry go round with vehicles though I like to stay with the 4x4 type even though the compound low 4x4 is only used about 0.5% of the time. Use to be used a lot more back in my 20's and I want it to be more now!..............63bkpkr

Usually far off the beaten trail... on the Rokon. More like Driving a D-4 than a trail bike... it takes me places a 4X4 & ATV won't go!!! But, more importantly... It carry's all my heavy tools: Rake, pike, Picks, sledge, come-alongs, Food, Water and other essentials...and it also Charges all my electronics.
