New Bug Out Vehicle

[csaws]

If you do have some money and want to be able to go anywhere and stay there, I suggest anything made by EarthRoamer. I have seen there stuff at the RV show in Luisville and it is crazy impressive.

Or you could just go buy a stock Jeep from Chrysler for about $50-70,000 less and go anywhere that ugly arse thing will go

, I was just showing a very impressive vehicle. And for a BOV it would be very hard to beat.

For a BOV depending on the length of the SHTF situation don't you guys think something that does better on fuel consumption would be the smarter choice then alot of these personnel carriers and huge transport trucks that get horrible mpg? After all fuel might become hard to acquire if its any sort of long term SHTF situation.

absolutely, it will be everyones own personal calculation though. If you are bugging, then I would hope you have a destination, then that distance is how far you need to go. Also taking into account backtracking if roads are blocked and idling if there is a lot of traffic. The consideration of fuel mileage is also hard to balance with performance. It is hard to get good fuel mileage, great performance, great off-road performance in one vehicle. Jerry can storage should be considered to supplement for a vehicle that gets poor mileage.

Didn't you know we all have 50,000 gallon storage tanks at our compounds?

 

[longbow]

I have oil under my place, just need to drill 13,000 feet down to get some. Don't need no tanks! I'll refine and be fine!

Actually there are some natural gas deposits around my house. There's a big gas complex next road over. Supposedly there are some houses that get free NG too! Maybe I should check my mineral rights, I might have some Iraqi action a la' Kuwait going on.

I'd kinda like one of the new J8 Jeeps, but well American's can't have them because we were bad and need to drive hybrids.

You can get one, just be prepared to pony up the cash:
American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) - The AEV J8 MILSPEC, the toughest jeep available to civilians ever

Although, I like the Brute better:
American Expedition Vehicles (AEV) - AEV Brute TJ Wrangler Jeep Pickup Truck Conversion

The Brute is fricken sweet!

 

[JustGone]

Oh man I want that Brute!

 

[Ogre]

id stick with the J8, I like the idea of diesel power, and more room. the two seat truck doesn't look too roomy for a 6'4 frame.

 

[kevinj110]

The old Bantam, Ford, Willy's GP or GPWs are not even close to crap they sell today.

Owned many Jeeps and domestic trucks. From now on sticking with the Toyota Tacoma off road edition.
Can't help it. For fit finish and reliability I can never go back to domestic engineering. Yep, call me unpatriotic but when it comes to getting my family where we need to go I can worry about labels or name calling --- just got to get there
