Long-ish list...

1. Near daily driver
2. Disaster relief work (can ford 30 inches of water, tow a bobcat, take 2 strike teams of 6, their chainsaws, pole saws, and safety gear in ONE trip. try doing that in a pickup.)
3. Hauling stuff to the dump for friends, coworkers, family
4. Destressing (just driving the thing helps me relax)
5. Hauling work stuff (ceiling tiles, 8 foot light bulbs) for the properties I manage/own
6. And finally, Off-roading like a boss!

Mine is a toy. I do parades, living history events, veteran affair items, car/air shows, etc. I'm planning on heading to Big Bend in Oct to do trail rides and if you have yours by then you should come down.

I put an Alaskan camper on mine and travel the country. It is also my daily driver when I'm home. It pulls down trees just fine, too! Best pulling truck I ever had.

I'm still waiting for GP to send me my title so I can put it thru its paces. For now, I kill the grass with it mostly! :roll:
Funny you bring that up. I killed the grass mine was on.

I use mine to haul brush to the dump, haul heavy loads for friends, drive it to local events to tailgate with, and take it offroad when I can.

1. Use it to haul scouts on short trips. I mounted 12 seatbelts in the back.
2. Chicks dig it, and love to drive it. Big smile on their faces. My wife even likes it now.
3. Its a big jeep that can go almost anyplace.
4. Helped our local state park with some environmental Eagle projects.
5. Pulled a stuck dump truck out of my neighbors yard.
6. Its a great camper for the beach.
7. Drive it to work once a week.
8. Its very relaxing to work on.
9. Use it as a farm truck
10. It will be in our local farmers day parade in a few weeks.

I use mine to launch my boat on the sandy beaches where we live. Just the cost of a blown up transmission in a regular pickup truck is equal to my m1078. Plus it has made me some money pulling people out of the soft sand in there 4x4's.

The biggest thing I have done with mine is to take it to the Denton NC rally for the last two years. Camped in the back of it during the rallies.

What do people with Bugattis do with them?

They drive them, derrr!
I find it funny how everyone always asks me "what do you do with that?" I drive it. People ride motorcycles all the time and I don't hear you asking them what they are gonna do with it!

I was looking at used Toyota Tacoma 4x4 trucks and most of them in the 1998-2004 year range were $10-$15K with 200,000 miles. I spent less money, on a more capable truck with less miles and MORE capacity. Many have asked, "What will you do with that?!?". Like Oxyacetaline stated, I plan to drive it! My kids love it and neighbors don't. Isn't life grand?

Honey, I'm running to Home Depot for a 2x4... :whistle:
