[Rockhounds] Vehicles

[Jim Daly]

I use a 2000 GMC Safari (same as the Chevy Astro) with AWD. It's built on a 3/4 ton truck chassis, and has a 4.3 L V-6 and towing package. It pulls my 25 ft travel trailer easily, and (without the trailer) can go off-road or up nasty mining roads. With the 2nd & 3rd seats removed (they come out easily)  you can haul a lot of rocks!

  Friends: Just wondering what sort of vehicle you all use to go 
rockhounding when you go on those little trails with the big ruts. My 
wife, Kathy, and I use a 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara 4x4 with the 2.5 V6 
and regular hwy tires . We have been able to go everyplace with no 
problem (except my fear). The only problem is the small interior...I 
don't have a lot of space to put rocks. Just wondering. Chuck...
