Ten Best Vehicles For Urban Warfare

Group Buy?

8 Ford Excursions for sale -- Armored by Streit to B6+ Protection Level

We can take about $10,000 off each of the seven remaining units if we purchase them all at one time.......

Overstock sale!!!!!

I would take the m35a2. Multifuel engines so it is easier to get fuel and EMPs will not effect it. Plus you have all the room in back for extra gear or people.

I love the Excursion, but I will never trust a 6.0 powerjoke. I'll take it with the old 7.3

I'll pick a horse. They go almost anywhere, are fairly quiet, and have an unlimited fuel supply.

However, I do not live in an urban area. I would have to go with a diesel burning or multi-fuel vehicle that is 4x4 or in the case, 6x6. You may find a lack of roads wherever you may roam. Plus the ability to make your own fuel is a plus.

All you zombie freaks and no one suggests Dead Reckoning?!?!!?

Then again, add some armanement to THIS, the Concept GMC PAD, and I'm good to go.

I would look for something like the F150 but it's a tad to top heavy. And the cab doesnt allow 360 coverage or allow more than 2 people up front (comfortably). I have my Urban Warfare vehicle, 2003 Z71 Silverado, 33's,V8, 373's,great stock lighting (have supplies with me 365/52/24/7)

You ought to see what a D8 dozer does to an Explorer parked in the wrong place. Never even knew it was hanging off the blade because of all the dust in Iraq!!! ll we said was "somebody is going to be a fired a$$ over this"

That will get you through the gridlock.

My pics...
Navistar JLTV for general bada**ery

or the Navistar FTTS. The four wheel steering looks fun.

Other top choices.... Navistar Defense Line

Gas-powered vehicles are all out. Do you folks not remember Katrina? Every gas station within 150 miles had no gas...but the did have diesel

Diesels will also not be affected by the EMP's!

No buyer's remorse on my 7.3L 4x4 F-250

 

[ThrottleJockey]

I thought it was based on the F350 single rear axle?

The f350,450, and 550 are built from the same frame and cab, but with different rear ends and drive lines.

Diesels will also not be affected by the EMP's!

FAIL. EMPs do not effect the mechanical aspects of any engine, but rather the electronics. All modern diesels are controlled by an ECM or computer and will be effected the same as any other engine.

I choose the toyota 4x4. The oldest one I can find, modified to eliminate all electronics and run completely mechanically. Then weld on heavy steel plating, deck mounted M2 in the back with roll cage.......much like the ones used by the warlords of the middle east and africa.

exactly why I'm working hard to find a old non electronically controlled diesel. The newer ones have too much electronics in the fuel injection and controls. I want a old one with mechanical injection. If I really have to I've been thinking about repairing the head gasket on my old 84 Fort Tempo diesel, and throwing the engine into our 93 ranger along with a small turbo, if I can find a trans that will work with it. And make it a 4x4 as well. Not the most powerful, but should get good mileage, and would keep going through an EMP strike.

How long of a shelf life does diesel have?
Can it be made stable for long term storage?
What about bio diesel?

 

[Uralguy]

How about a INGO group buy on some used Payloaders. Should not take too much work to uparmor them. One per county would be a start. Payloader clears the way sheepdogs form column behind and Di Di Mao.
Had an Uncle that drove a bulldozer in the South Pacific. Never got a scratch. Can't say that for the Bad Guys under the Dozer. Just an Idea. They might be handy to make earth works too.

Naturally Aspirated is the term you should use. I'm currently looking into them myself. I found an older (80's) F350 crewcab but I couldn't talk the wife into trading the van in for it...

probably cause it , may not be a good reliable vehicle for a daily driver. I'm wanting it mostly just for winter, work, and SHTF. I've got 2 cars that I can use for daily drivers, and dads ranger I can use in the winter if my cars can't get through. Plus I"ve always loved the old ford trucks

Naturally aspirated would imply that there isn't a turbo present and has nothing to do with the injection method.

thank you, I didn't feel like bothering to correct him.
