Survival or Doomsday Vehicle BOV

I'd call it the LV-426.

 

So people can confuse it with the Company designation of the planet where Ripley first encountered the Aliens?

 

Precisely. Game over, man.

 

I think I found one for me. We just got an M wrap at work to go with the peace keeper and duce, laughing maniacally, thanks Uncle Sugar

 

Maybe just run over to the Textron plant and pick up one of these (M1117)

 

I'm in !

 

There is very little room inside one of those. Very difficult to egress if, say, it was on fire. I'd rather be on foot.

 

What nobody has plans to "liberate" a bearcat ?

Realistically I'll go with a bobbed Deuce & 1/2. I've seen a few around here running on 54" tires.

Impressive up close.

 

Not sure where I could find one.... maybe when I hit the lottery....

 

Why not just claim "chitty-chitty-bang-bang" and be done with it? that was a true prepper's car....

 

Yes that’s it, we have a lot of problems in this area with roads being blocked by rock slides and flood waters. The area has unlimited mining roads, gas line roads and logging roads that can be accessed to get you to where you need to go. Even if one was trying to get to his BOL without being seen that is my goal. My plans are to build something to get me and mine along with a small amount of equipment and supplies to the BOL when the SHTF.

 

Like those tv preppers..... The trucks are a bit extreme. Atleaset the companies could be realistic with the want/need factor of the trucks, over kill....... But sexy!!! Jealous !

 

Sorry, could not see it past the highly Intrusive sweepstakes entry that will not go away without entry.

 

Along time ago in a galaxy far away, we were taught that drivers drive and shooters shoot. It is extremely difficult to run the wheels off a vehicle when you are trying to shoot, load, shoot, load, etc, etc, etc. Drivers concentrate on getting everybody out of dodge in one piece. If your running a small convoy, you better know how to protect another downed vehicle that has wounded aboard that you must transfer. That is unless you plan on leaving Mom, Dad or your other family members behind. That's the drivers job. A good driver can do all the above and then some. If you are trying to drive and shoot. You will miss something and possibly die. Drivers Drive, Shooters Shoot. If you are not training in this area, you better start. Especially if you plan on driving out of the kill zone. It ain't as easy as it looks in the movies. Try this when you have time. Put a couple of wore out out tires on the front, deflate one, then both and try to drive. Yeap, sucks doesn't it. Extra Heavy duty powering steering and front end are a must. Most stuff, even some military grade parts are junk. Get double shocks, front and rear; bolt on a skid plate that goes past the transmission; look at what people that drive the Baja or Dakar and look what they are doing. HEAVY, HEAVY Duty is the only way to go. Plan on driving at night. Ever tried. It is not for everyone and alot of people get physically ill when using NV for extended time.
Bottom line, get a designated driver(s) and have them learn to drive YOUR vehicle. Hell, we wax on for hours about training to shoot, but not about driving. IT IS AN ART more than a science. A good driver drives, a great driver feels the interaction between the road and the vehicle. LOVE me a Unimog.

Are you looking at it on a mobile phone? If so, zoom all the way out and on the top left corner of the ad there is an X that you can click to get rid of the ad. If your not on mobile it should be the same.

 

I am but a poor man. I have to live or die by my means. I enjoy the F-250,push button pos 4x4 with the camper shell, reinforced bumper and body tubes and dual wenches.
With the backup tools to long to list .We camp most every weekend in different areas and besides direct gunfire I would say is most unstoppable, atleaset I am confident.

In a shtf involving gun fire I would say out here everyone is in deep.
Considering this is where the folk getting out of dodge dreams about getting to.
