Holy crap, that is a serious truck. Where do you go with it for now, pre-apocalypse?

I figured I would leave it black. In case of apocalypse, add green stripes over the top. A good base coat. Pre apocalyse I spend a good ammount of time South of Bend, OR. Have been through 2 feet of powder snow with this rig. Been all up through the central Oregon Mountains and to some great shooting places.

Yeah looks nice, but you should know that gas is probably first thing to go after electricity. So unless you're planning to tow an oil tank it is not very practical.

It will help keeping you alive and prepared until you don't find gasoline anymore, though.

Just need to stockpile some gas...maybe 50 gallons or so, then you can replace the spent fuel as you are scavenging.

I would go something a little bit bigger, but thats just becasue I am a scavenger. I walk home and anything along the side of the road that I think might be useful I pick up. I have this disk that I am going to sharpen and turn into a throwing disk.

If your stocking up on gas make sure you add fuel stabilizer
