So far everyone seems to be going with Broncos and some other 4 wheeler. I've got a middle size 1990 Dodge Full size van. I say middle size for the length, they come in 3 lengths. I put my own shelving and built my own bench seat in the back for tackle boxes and tools. I put rod racks along the wall behind the driver and along the ceiling. The ceiling I set them at different lengths, so I can put any rod from 5' up to 12' without getting in the way of anything. The back is set up with a sitting area in case of rain I can sit back there and tie flies. I set that up so that if needed I can also sleep in the back. I put two windows in the back that open with screening. I use to carry 5 gallons of clean water for washing and rinsing off my reels and line when I finished fishing. The only thing missing was a porta-pot. I do usually stay at campsites or make sure I'm close to one when I do my overnighters. That's my ideal "fishing car". I've owned it for 14 years now and have 188 thousand miles on it. I change the oil every 3,000 miles and it still runs like a top. And of course the bug visor has my name on it, "The Grey Ghost".
Well, that's it for me, If you ever see my van around you know I'll be close by, the color of the van, well, grey of course.
