The swamp's here in the low country can get real nasty so you need big tires on your 4x4 or you'll end up stuck.
My truck is a 1990 ford ranger with a 460 motor 5 ton axles and 66 inch tires, I hope this info help's.

Terra,

Is that truck out of Charleston, SC? When I was at the Weapons Station I saw a truck in front of a Auto parts store that looked just like it.

Truebluefordman, This truck was built by Robbie Giles in goose creek s.c it was first called Southern Storm then after a couple of years he changed some things on the truck and painted it a different color and called the truck Southern Star.

Halfmoonkennels, your right it's the same truck.

2003 GMC 1500 HD...She is now known as the Critter Gitter. In 2008, has killed 2 deer and a 1989 5.0 Mustang.


Just the right size for hounds and horses. Although we use the horse trailer now for hounds more than horses.

How do you guys keep your hunting trucks so clean. I have a 2007 Tacoma with 45000. I think I have only washed it once.

Hey guys thanks for all the replies, it was a help I really thought the fender flares was a goog idea, the pics really helped. The camo might be something to think about, also I've pondered at the idea of a flat bed thanks to the bedless chevy pic. lol Again guys I appreciate your time and all help. All im wating on now is a little $$$.
