SHTF Vehicles

[jve153]

any of my vehicles, really. all of which are all wheel drive (can go off road if need be, not too good on going over stuff though). 96 eclipse gsx, 2005 lancer evolution (factory rally car pretty much, four door, decent trunk. hit a telephone pole in my 2004 at 80mph and walked away, doesnt get much safer than that) and 2004 yukon denali XL with the 6.0 liter.

Booshie,
I'm now very glad you started this thread. Any thread that generates a lot of cool pics like this is definitely a plus in my book.

I don't plan to bug out, as everyone is planning on going to Michigan, anyway.
My bug-out vehicles are my daily drivers, also. '85 CJ7, and '98 & '99 Outbacks.
My job gets me out in blizzards, and after owning 40+ variety of vehicles, these are what I ended up owning.

That picture still cracks me up. No way I was going to pass up those free walnut logs, and I lived 15 minutes away. The Outback survived intact, though I was puttering home at 10mph or slower, trying to avoid a blowout or busted spring.

Knight XV from Conquest Motors....if I only had 300k or more to spend on a vehicle, this would be it.

If the roads are gone, I'll have this

If I'm hauling a lot of stuff to GTFO, I'll have this

BTW, my friend owns a 4x4 shop, if you need something done to your Jeep or whatever he's the guy to call. Has had customers drive several hours for him to do the job. http://www.getbentkustoms.com/

If this works here's a pic of one of my BOVs getting a test run. After this run I decided I needed some new tires. Locked front and rear and now has a winch and new bumpers.

Yeah for lockers!!! I couldn't believe the difference they make when driving/getting stuck in 4WD.

Haha thanks, that was the secret objective behind the encrypted original post

Thanks guys, a lot of great pictures. Keep them coming!
I just realized I haven't posted my SHTF vehicle/daily driver, so I shall post it shortly.

2002 Nissan Frontier, stock supercharged and tons of fun. It's been a dependable little truck. The only complaint I have is it gets terrible gas mileage for it's size. I wish I could've lifted it and made it mean, but I'm thinking about selling it for a jeep or possibly a cummins 12v.

Here's my 85 Bronco

We also have a Trailblazer, and my DD 92 Camry. The Camry is like a frikken snowmobile! The Bronco is no slouch either.

I had a stupid question: wouldn't the clear coat negate some of the properties camouflage offers?

Yes, unless its raining.

 

[tobi]

I want to be sure I am going to make it to where I am headed. So I will be in a Toyota Camry

Have you not seen all of the recalls Toyota has had lately?

 

[thoroughbred]

That marauder would be perfect for driving around the mall parking lot right before Christmas, you could make front row parking for yourself anywhere. I would take one and throw the mini gun on top of it, then I would be good to go.

Subaru WRX.

Will probably stick out like a sore thumb to many of you here siding with Trucks/SUV's...
(And that's all fine and dandy - don't get me wrong).

My reason?

I can get up and going (0-60 in under 5 seconds)... if the situation gets heated and I've got to SCOOT.
I wouldn't hesitate to take it off road (the drivetrain on these cars were designed for this...literally) (See: Google Images/Muddy Subaru)
Small enough to get around potential obstacles; Large enough to house a small family and still pack necessities in the back.

And... since everyone else is posting pictures of their SHTF vehicle; Here's mine:
