I still have the Ram, but I use an 88 blazer S-10Tahoe 4.3for the woods.
My brother-inlaw made me an Aluminum Ladder that I attached to
the running board and to a 1" platform I installed on the luggage rack.
I have a nice swivel chair, cb radio and all I need to do my shooting
from. When it starts to rain I climb down and get inside the blazer.
Many of my friends have removeable platforms installed on thier
Pic-ups. They istall Plumbers racks on thier truck and install removeable
1" platforms on them. When they come back from hunting, they still
have thier pipe rack on for thier jobs.
We have taken many deer and hogs this way of hunting. Very easy to change
locations quick. When the other hunters have to stay in thier treestand and
maybe get wet when it rains. I like going after the game and not waiting
for it to come to me.
