Truck/Offroad Vehicle options

So I go shooting out in the desert out here, thinking of buying a cheap off-road beater cuz some of the spots requires mild off roading (gravel) to get to…4x4 preferred, but I think I could manage w/ RWD only

What should I get haha? Figure a budget of like 3-4k max

I was thinking an older Wrangler maybe but not much cargo room for a table, rifles etc…

How about an old chevy truck? I figure if the motor/tranny go, I can swap in an LT1/LS1 right? What years should I look for?

S-10 blazer with supercharged LS7 incoming??

Jeep cherokee or grand cherokee with a 4.0 will run for ever and good off road. And if you get the itch to make it more off road worthy there is a million options. Also will be cheaper than a wrangler and typically more available.

+1 on Cherokee

+2 on Cherokee I was thinking that as I scrolled down

+3

+4

I loved my 4.0L XJ!

4.0L cherokee ftw… Just have to look at the typical jeep items

Rot, rust, gearbox… You can find many cherokee’s out there that the PO dumped stupid money into.
