Thread: Two-door utes.....

I've been looking at some second hand utes for hunting and just general running about for farm stuff for the little block of land I have. Have been in the $10k zone but holy; people want top money for petrol crappers with 260k km's on the clock!

But then I thought.... If I get a 2-door ute with no back seat, where do you put your hunting gear? Especially rifles because there's nowhere to lay them flat on the back seat like a car or ute with a back seat. So who uses one for hunting, and where does your rifle go? Thanks

Mount a rack above the back window? Or a lock box bolted to the back wall behind seats

plenty of room behind seat? had 3 rifles behind the seat of 2 different 2 door trucks and I havent had a problem, I wouldnt want to be outting gun cases in plain view in the back of a double cab anyways....

I use my old 96 Pulsar at the moment. And the great thing is that I can lay the rifle on the back seat and put the seat back down to cover and hold it when I go on day hunts. But t's just ticked over 300,000 (very hard!) kilometres and am not sure how long it'll keep ticking over..........

Yeah the old Pulsar has been a work horse. Carried some massive loads of posts, cast iron baths etc. My other work runabout (for when I'm doing story interviews etc) was t-boned a couple of days ago by a car driving straight through a stop sign. It was an older Laser; but it had been my folks so super tidy, low kms and reliable. I can't take the beaten up old Pulsar out for work so am probably going to buy another Pulsar hatch wagon for that job. But want to keep it specifically as a runabout. Weekly trips on rough corrugated gravel backcountry roads isn't good for the "tidy car"!

I may get another 6-months out of the old Pulsar; but it's had a helluva hard life and it's not far away from getting to the "do I spend any more money on it" stage. So have been thinking about a knockabout, reliable ute

Seems like I may as well look at getting another cheap low mileage Pulsar and maybe put a towbar on it if I decide to get an ATV.....
