Lifted subarus seem to be similar to the AMC Eagle in concept but more popular, and speedier. Probably not as durable

BRZ




Outback, popular around here as the chariots of the granola munching, muff diving feminists


1st gen? Foresters; pretty cool in their own right, awesome when lifted.

These might be better fits for you?

I love my 2002 Chevy Tracker. They are simple, durable and fun to drive. I been all over the desert around Salome, AZ in it.

A mobile sewing unit grows a business - Marine Fabricator

As my canvas and sail repair business continued to grow, efficiency became critical. I needed a system that would accommodate me in doing offsite repairs with only one trip from the shop. I decided a mobile sewing unit could take me right to the customer site and allow me to complete the work...

Very similar to my ideas, although it's located in NC which is usually warmer year round than the PNW so because of that climate, the guy can sew outside. For the PNW, it'd be better to be insulated and protected from the cold and the rain, so perhaps either strip out a large mobile camper/RV/motorcoach, or convert a larger box truck? Or get a 2 and a half truck then stick the expandable command post/office box shelter on it

What I could probably afford right this moment roadside tailors in India.

Hm. I'd need either a 14ft enclosed utility trailer plus the tow rig to pull it, or a box van/truck between 12 ft and 20 ft. Or a similar sized RV.. but this guy did a 12ft x7 utility trailer upholstery shop.... something for me to chew on and plan out and figure financing....
It looks like one of the wood panels seen on the side can fold up to provide bigger work space.




Not quite the way I store my fabrics, but if I use bars or heavy duty cardboard tubes or large PVC pipe sections I could probably do a similar thing. My fabrics are spread out onto 5 4 tier hangers to be hung in a small closet. I do like his webbing storage method as well as how he has cones of thread ready to be used overhead by the machine

Saw Dudes armored Nissan Pathfinder at Vancouver Sportsmans a few times during the covid ammo panic, it was pretty sweet.

Irish army Ford based vehicles. Probably something more likely to happen in the US if anything happens

Huh. There's a company converting the decommissioned F550 based 4x4 dually hotshot buggies into adventure camper rigs... and the example shown in the link looks awesome.

Tucker Sno Cat isn't too far from us (long walk or bike). So could be one of those fiction novel scrounging opportunities for us...

The camper looks zombie proofed.

Not sure the vehicle itself is, or is up to carrying that much weight that high up.

Looks like it unfolds off the back of the truck.
