Thread: Best Survival Vehicle

Uni-mog

+1 on the Uni-Mog.

I'm "stuck" with my stock 05 4Runner. Thinking it would do alright though. Tough little sucker.

toyota fj-cruiser.

if I could afford any Bug Out Vehicle, I would like to try my chances in the Air!





I also found this picture while looking..LMAO... just had to share totally off topic...

It really depends on where you want to survive?
For some, survival might be best achieved in an urban enviroment where they can more easily blend in.
You will have to look hard to find this Smart car which has ingeniously found a way to blend into the urban develpment around it.
Brilliant!

There was one for $3.500 at hte last gunshow.

Diesel Chevy 4x4 full size. Pre electronic BS (6.2/6.5 I THINK) Pick up, Blazer, Sub. Pick your people space. Parts will be every where, tough, will run on diesel, JP8, Bio-diesel, cooking oil, gas oil mix, kerosene, what ever you can lay your hands on. Room to haul stuff (no matter what body you choose), and with a non military paint job, will blend in with any urban environment.

Well...if you're going to fly why not freak people out...LOL

4-Shome hideaway LED panel strobes
Grover 24" shudder airhorn

airbags front + rear
7.3l Turbo Diesel (one of 2 years with factory forged pistons)
2chips stacked for about 340hp and 760Lb of Tq over stock...

lifted 6" w/ 38" tires

Its the most badass farmtruck Ive ever owned!




oh yeah, and it gets 21mpg when I set my chip to economy mode....

First choice would be the one on the left....easier to maintain and better off road
That would carry me down to the river or out to the coast where I'd "acquire" a sailboat...

When you say "pre electronic BS" do you just mean the injection pump? I think you need to go even more industrial to not rely on any electronics.

I'd still go with the nuclear submarine.

if you're gonna survive... why not do it in style... with bullet proof, and for extra $, you can get the anti-tank rocket proof model. lol. This my friends, is a Russian T-98 KOMBAT. Check it out.



















these are the windows:

or perhaps the Otokar Cobra from Turkey











or the GAZ Vodnik from Russia

Which two years are those?

I have been thinking the older 7.3l Ford is the way to go for a Super Duty. I have been researching it but have not heard of that fact/feature...

Simple a Baja bug. wont get stuck, great gas milage, smooth riding off road. probably not going to brake down, but if it does you can fix anything on it in no time wth almost no tools. heres pictures of the one I biult.

Standard starting method for a model T. I loved the two bugs I owned. Second one lost it's clutch on the mainland. Shifted with out the clutch to the ferry boat from mukilteo to Clinton and turned off the key and hit the break. Started it, in gear, to get on the ferry and repeated to get off the ferry and home.

I hit and killed 3 deer with it. Once I launched it completely off the ground into water so deep it came in through the doors. My buddies and I simply pushed it out and went on our merry way. I could push start the damn thing myself, and for years it had a wooden dowel pounded into the engine where a hose once went. We used to take it up the logging roads in winter to play in the snow, and had a blast...

Sounds like and treated like most of the Toyota Corollas we saw in Afghanistan... Except for the bulletproof part lol
