What Road Warrior SHOULD have been driving:
Seem's to me qualifications for the ultimate post apocalypse transportation would include:
An older vehicle with a carborator. (EFI & EMP dont mix. Ignition systems without computers are easier to keep spares for, and "sheild")
Excellent fuel mileage (Road Warrior Supercharged V8 - disqualified!) Probably looking at a 4 cylinder, no bigger than 6 for sure.
4wd??? I'm in SC, no snow here, roads are long, smooth, and reasonably straight. So 2wd will likely be a better choice for mileage. I look for gas to be $4.00 a gallon within two years anyway. :-\
Parts availability (new and used).
Aftermarket support (while its still available).
Fun to drive! (read: fast, takes a turn like a slot car)
I'm thinking mileage may be the biggest priority of all. :-\
Idea's?

Time to resurrect the Haz-Mobile....... ;D

my boat towing rig... 84 ford bronco 4wd. 351w, 4.10 front and rear... 37 gallon tank. all steal, 2.5 tons empty. I can't tell you how many people I've pulled out of the mud at the lake with it. they made basicly the same truck for 15 years.( same as the f150 for 95% of the parts) other then a few small igntion parts, just about every thing bolts right up, while its not fast, it is a kick to drive. people get the Hell out of the way, more so then they do when I'm in my f350. unless you go some place really narrow, or get high centered, 4 low will take you anywhere you want to go in it.
only prob with it, 10 mpg.
-
Finding a vehicle with out some computer control is not gonna be easy. I would also like at least limited off road ability. My choice if I could find and afford it would be an old willies jeep, or Ford jeep/truck (can't remember the name right now). Some thing like that.

Something like an old Jeep, 60's Bronco's, or Land Rover.......anything without computers and smog control crap.....you can run 'em on home-made fuel (moonshine....er, um..I mean ethanol).
-
SCOUT! I believe that is the name, Ford Scout.
-
the only prob with something from the 60s is, you have to litterly go thru all the suspention and drive train. The rubber litterly rots off.
-
SCOUT! I believe that is the name, Ford Scout.
International made Scouts. Ford made Broncos.
I think a post-apocolyptic vehicle should have a multi-fuel engine like army surplus trucks. You have diesel - fill it up with that. You have gas - fill it up with that. Untortunately you'll probably end up with a big cargo truck.
-
The M 151 Mutt was the Vietnam era version of the Jeep They had a 4 cylinder MULTI FUEL engine, and 4 wheel drive. As for fast as well, I think you will be disappointed, also on the 2 wheel drive remember that there may be limited or no road maintenance, bridges may be down, or where you need to go may not be on an improved road but off a tote road in the boonies.
The M 151's should still be available as surplus, the National Guard used them into the 90's so parts should not be much of an issue, the ones the post office used were only 2 wheel drive but everything else should be interchangeable. Also, if you have the manuals and a set of tools they are really basic to work on. They were uni body construction so everything unbolts from one body onto another, In the Marines ( I was Motor T ) another guy and I could make the switch in about 16 hours, and I suck as a mechanic so it can't be that hard ;D
-
The IH Scout is like the old Blazers and Broncos, but tougher. Pick one of them up, and swap out the IH engine for a surplus Continental multi fuel unit. It has been almost 30 years since using one of these engines, so I'm not up on everything with them. However, the are sealed so tight that you can drive them submerged and the ignition doesn't short out, and you don't get water in anything.
-
Same with the M 151, in fact it may be the same engine.
-
The Mutt:
(http://www.them151mutt.com/images/m151-mutt-3.jpg)
Seem's like a pretty good choice
The scout: my neighbor just sold an '81 for $500 on ebay with a new top, 3 speed manual, NO rust, 4cyl engine had a bad knock. I was looking hard at it until he told me it got 16mpg on a good day (before he spun a bearing in it).
Gas or diesel I think you need to be looking for better than 20mpg, and enough interior room to at least store some supplies in.

My old rag top Sami.. Had 27" wheel travel at all four corners (notice shackels). Sold it about 6 months ago.
I'd lean toward a hard top more now. :-\ Dark tint the rear windows for at least SOME security.
I wonder about 2wd being the better choice though. More "low profile" - draw less attention, faster - get away, better mileage!
-
They make GM HEI conversions for about everything in the world (including VW aircooled beetles!). The HEI only has a TEENY little control module that'd be easy to wrap in foil, put in a metal box, and have protected as a spare.
I put a one wire Mallory HEI in my 76 jeep cherokee I just sold. It worked sweet, installed in about 15 minutes.
I've had wranglers with both the 4.2 liter, and the 4.0 liter. Manual tranny and auto, only 15-16mpg with stock tires!

a horse drawn wagon and a Mig in the same post! ;D ;D ;D I about split a gut!
Fighter planes get TERRIBLE mileage. :(
-
I see someone already posted a Suzuki Samurai. It would meet a few of the criteria that Badger posted. I had one in the 80's. It was great on snowboarding trips and even in water near over the hood (I actually delivered pizza in that condition). It definitely wouldn't be high on the fast list. Passing a semi on the highway was even pretty tough.
-
I understand that for long term Diesel stores longer than Gas.
-
I understand that for long term Diesel stores longer than Gas.
I believe the only mid range (6 months to two years) storage issue would be algae growth, but there is a simple additive for that. And it is easier to take care of that than the break down of gas, even with additives like sta bil. I know that we used to store up to 1,000 gallons of diesel for over six months with no issue, and we would put the combines away with two hundred gallons in their tanks for ten months with no additives and no issues. Damn ... I can't let my lawn mower, snow blower, string trimmer, etc. sit for six months without half the gas going bad.
-
Plus I would guess there would be less demand for diesel by the remaining public at large.

Lets see you ford a river or travel off road or plow snow in that van..........bridges out, roads unsafe for travel.
Add a trailer to the sidecar rig and it solves the where to put supplies issue.
This is a really good video showing military use of the sidecar rig and various weapon systems available........

Thing is even newer (last 10 years or so) have electronic ignition, fuel injectors etc. Hell, most don't come with a kick start unless you get a dirt bike.
I have a 94 Yamaha Virago 1100 (haven't started it in 5 years!). Always wanted a kick start and one more gear (higher) for it.

Yep, been looking at jeeps for awhile now....more affordable than the Pinz I want. Cool thing with the Pinz and Unimogs in how you can customize them to your needs. Add a Conqueror camper trailer and you have a go anywhere rig.
-
Way back when I was in the Army all you needed to fix a Jeep was 1/2 inch, 9/16, screw driver and a hammer! You could fix damn near anything on it. You could get or adapt parts for it easy. Little 6 banger that would go any where, but fuel mileage wasn't great. I especially liked the older split window models.
-
Wow, I was just looking around and old twice and a halfs are not bad. Around 9-10K
-
That's an M38, not a CJ5 as advertised. Depending how comftorble you are on a bike I think it may be close to as good for this catagory as the Bike. :-\
Not much could compare to a duce and a half if only for fun! ;D I like the "Mobile Command Center's". (Just a big steel box on the back)
-
Hello to all.
My choice would be a older Jeep. Check out thecj3bpage or Surpluscityjeepparts . The cj3b page has people and articles that help you in restoring old jeeps. Parts are out there ie; in Ohio there is body parts (new) to replace the beyond restoring "tubs" and fenders. In South Carolina (aikens) is a jeep parts company. There are plenty other sites and companies out there. So start looking behind the barns and '60 's junkyards.
For us in the north, during the winter months are a good time to work on fixing up vehicles when snowed in or just plain having time on yor hands.
I have a '54 CJ3B with an enclosed cab that when I get the time and money will turn it into a mobile communications (ham) and Radio directional finding type vehicle.
Extra/Spare parts need to be stored in electromatic/radiation resistant (silver) type packets/bags.

Not spoil the fun but your ultimate post apocalypse vehicle is a mountain bitke with a lttle bike trailer. Gas will be gone in weeks, we don't store much, and what we do will probly be held by someone better armed than you. The roads will not be maintained and maybe clogged and bridges may be out. Bikes are, cheap, easy to fix and will go any where. Not a lot of fun to peddle with an eighty pound pack and pulling a trailer but faster than pushing a jeep thats out of gas. ;D

Chevy K-5 Blazer with a 383 small block.

Chevy K-5 Blazer with a 383 small block.
That's a whole lotta Rock-n-Roll there! I had a '75 K5 with a 454, 33" tires, and a 4" lift when I was a teenager. It had the factory full time 4wd transfer case, and got 8 mpg. Even with the 383 sb I'm guessing it only pulls about 10. :(
If your going to get out of zombie town your gonna need good range / mileage.
The side by side seem's like a great idea! I dont see any drawbacks there.

The 383 would either be a stroked 400, which is a block you don't want, or a major over bored 350 (can't remember the ci math, but I'm not sure you could bore a 350 that big). In either case it is hopped up to the point that it would most likely make your 454 look like a hybrid!
My last small block was a 350 taken .060 over, and the best I got out of it was 12 mpg ... and that was in a LUV. On cruisin' nights we usually just reversed the letters to gpm.
Lots of cool things to look at on here, but with the idea for this being worst case simplicity should be the name of the game. Honestly, the first thing that came to my mind was something along the lines of the 60's VW's that were converted to off road. Light weight, basic air cooled engines that were durable and easy to maintain, with minimal tubing you could have full roll cage, raise the suspension up, and add floatation tires. I've seen these things out perform major 4wd's in most terrain.

a 383 is just a 400 crank droped into 350. you do have to clearance the block for the extra stroke( unless you get one of the many aftermarket blocks out there) you could not bore a 350 big enough, even if you didn't have a water jacket the bore spacing is not great enough. I would bet a mild 454 would get better milage then a 383. it does not have to work as hard to produce the same HP.

After the apocolypse there won't be any traffic cops so I can ride my atv on the roads without getting a ticket. It gets better gas mileage than my truck.

Because unless the Saudis can get oil here, and our refineries some how keep functioning, and the tanker trucks can still roll, and....and....

The picture of the Ural pulling the Rokon (2WD motorcycle), note the date. They were going to one of the strangest motorcycle rides in the country, the Elephant Ride. The idea is to recreate Hannibal Crossing the Alps, with a modern twist. A bunch of crazy motorcyclists gather up in Grant, CO and try to ride over Guanella Pass, a high mountain pass (11,669ft). Some years, it's an 'easy' ride, other years no one makes it over.

I bet you are right as to where it was headed. Maybe on a snow machine but no way are you going to find me trying that ride on a bike.
My father used to tell about when he was a teenager in the 1930's he delivered papers on a Harley and would run chains on it in the winter time. That was in Maine. a Ural would have made his life a little easier.

WORST PORN THREAD EVER!
Eric, give yourself your own award for comment of the day!!! Damn near fell off my chair reading that. ;D
This has evolved into a wish-list / show-and-tell. None of these will work post-apocalypse. You're forgetting key points.
1. bug out or bug in, anything else and you're just a moving target
2. if bugging out, get to your bug-out location as quickly as you can; if you're still on the road weeks after TSHTF, something is seriously wrong, and back to the last point in #1. Besides, gas will probably not be available "weeks" after SHTF - except at a price that may be too dear to pay
3. What the hell are you doing on the road anyhow, post-SHTF? You want to be a target of opportunity?
4. Motorcycles are terrible BOVs - fast and agile, yes, good on fuel consumption too, but then they have to be - they don't carry very much fuel. Or anything else for that matter, even with a side car. Especially other people. One of the key rules of SHTF - don't try to go it alone, there is strength in numbers.
And now back to the thread already in progress . . . . 8)
IF you need something for local (and presumed safe) travel, there is always solar -

Post TSHTF... It's what's for dinner. ;D
Your absolutely right on all point's Path.. BUT (isnt there always), fuel will be available in VERY, VERY limited quantities, and at a dear price indeed, for months. As people will be siphoning old boats, junked cars, lawn mowers, gas station tanks, whatever. Many, many of the people who were able to tuff it out and stay put will after several days, weeks, months, will need to relocate. Many reasons come to mind, food, finding loved ones, worsening neighborhoods due to gangs, & preparing for cold weather, floods, you get the picture.
As we're unable to predict and prepare for everything that may happen, YOU may end up being one of these travelers!
While I really, really like the URAL, and would love to have one, it does still leave the driver WIDE open, and I've got a wife and kid to consider. So more and more I'm thinking VW baja bug. :-\ That flat floor pan, and the motor over rear drive wheels makes a real differance! Years ago a friend had one and it was amazing! Went further than 3 out of four of our 4wd trucks about every time! One truck was lifted with 38" tires... not mine, :( stupid bug!

I've been looking for a winter/off-road vehicle. What about a CUCV? I was leaning to either a m1008 pickup or m1009 Blazer. Diesel powered, upgraded running gear, TOUGH electrical system (24v?). They're available for around $1K I believe.
thoughts?
p.s. Why doesn't anyone currently sell a high MPG 4wd/awd pickup or suv? No Samurai or B2000 anymore (in the USA)

A Gama Goat is about the same size as a pickup truck so it will fit down city streets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gama_Goat It's an amphibious 6x6 with 4-wheel steering. Plus they're fun to drive.
Agreed - love the Goat!
The Goat played a minor role in Stripes with Bill Murry, in the background at the Czech checkpoint, never moved. But I have seen them in action, way cool machine. Don't know about the mileage though . . . ;)

If you leave the tail gate open on the Gama Goat they DO NOT float. At Motor T school they were going to show us how amphibious they were, it turned into a class on vehicle recovery. ;D

Something diesel, gas will be to hard to find, even the conversion to run off cooking oil, lamp oil, etc,....
For me it would be a boat, with 671 Cummins Diesels, maybe Duetz, no computer control , simple to maintain, they run on broken valves, cracked heads, and almost no oil pressure.
Sail back up, need to get off shore for a while and island hop until the survivors organize and some communication can be restored.
An old Bertram would be fine. 34-42 feet. I would have the name "Eat Me" on the transom. 8)

The Russians can design some good crap but can't manufacture it for crap....other than the AK, nothing coming from the Russian Federation or the old Soviet Union is worth a shit! Might look cool but it's made by people who have no pride in their workmanship! Junk, pure and simple....
We, as a country, are coming to the same end....unless you young folks get back in the game!

Ya'll can talk about fuel availability, mileage and all that other crap. I don't care about it because I have the solution.
I'm getting a Pincus. It is not very well known that a Pincus can piss 110 octane race fuel. A little Pincus can get you where you need to go. Keep your Pincus well hydrated for everyday travel or slip him some Wild Turkey if you need some extra performance.
So if you're driving a moped or an Abrams, get a little Pincus in your tank.

THE TUMBLER
(http://www.hollywood-diecast.com/dark%20knight%20tumbler%20still.jpg)
Technical specifications
Length: 15 feet (4.57 m)
Width: 9 feet 4 inches (2.84 m)
Weight: 2.5 short tons (2.3 t)
Acceleration: 0-60 in 5.6 seconds. Under full acceleration, the car could actually rise up on its front "legs" while the front wheels stayed planted on the ground creating an effect like a giant spider.
Engine[47]: 5.0 litre Vauxhall/GM engine capable of 500 horsepower (370 kW).
Fuel: The "jet engine" on the back of the car was fed by propane tanks.
Tires: 4 "Super swamper" tires standing 44 inches (1,100 mm) tall (via titanium axles) in the rear and 2 Hoosier dirt tires on the front.
Features
The Batman Begins Batmobile has a pair of autocannons mounted in the nose of the car between the front wheels. In "Attack" mode,[48] the driver's seat moves to the center of the car, and the driver is repositioned to lay face-down with his head in the center section between the front wheels. This serves two main purposes: first, it provides more substantial protection with the driver shielded by multiple layers of armor plating. Second, the prone position reduces the risk of injury a driver faces when making extreme driving maneuvers.[49] Other devices included:
Rear flaps for brake
Front autocannons
Rocket launcher
Landing hook to Sprung landing stabilization
Integrated fire-extinguishing system
Integrated safety connection to gasoline control
Jet engine on back of car for quick boosts/rampless jumps
Stealth mode, which turns off the car's lights and reduces the engine sound enormously, making the car very hard to find in dark places
Caltrops are deployed from the rear of the vehicle. Batman uses this to immobilize a police vehicle following him.
Front of car is heavily armored, so the car can crash into and destroy objects, and also protects the driver (Batman) while in the prone driving position/"Attack" mode
Both front wheels can eject when the vehicle is damaged to form the Batpod, a bat-cycle like vehicle (the rest self-destructs).

Presenting the RIPSAW MS2
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3388/3590542017_56c284d690.jpg)
(http://defense-update.com/images_large3/ripsaw_ms2.jpg)
Video of the beast in action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TLbviUMouI
Weighing 4.5 ton (9,000 lbs) the RipSaw MS2 vehicle is sized like a HMMWV. It can carry about one ton (2,000 lbs) of payload and be controlled remotely or operated by a driver and a crewman. The vehicle uses a lightweight tubular chassis design, derived from NASCAR race cars, powered by a 6.6 liters duramax diesel engine, developing 600 hp and 1000 ft/lb of torque, providing exceptional power to weight ration for vehicles at this class. Fully weaponized and loaded, the RipSaw MS2 can accelerate from 0 to 50 mph in 5.5 seconds (!) reaching a top speed of about 60 mph. "Ripsaw is very quick and agile, it can easily outmaneuver a human" Michael Hawe told Defense Update, indicating this is not trivial for a UGV.
The high power-to-weight ratio, efficient suspension and low ground pressure are providing RipSaw MS2 with exceptional maneuverability. Its center of gravity is located 70 cm (30") above, contributing to the high stability in steep gradient (50degrees) and side slope (45 degrees). High ground clearance (60cm – 24") and relatively low weight, wide tracks and the suspension's long travel maintain low ground pressure of 2.8 lbs/square inch. This attribute enables the vehicle to traverse rugged terrain at high speed, negotiate vertical obstacles up to 1.5 meter (60") high or rip through barriers like a heavy tank.
The innovative mechanical clutching system that controls the hydrostatic transmission with the power, speed and simplicity of a mechanical drive system is responsible for the vehicle's rapid acceleration, maneuverability and control.
The RipSaw MS2 is only 1.77 meter high, thus capable to effectively blend in the terrain, and mask itself from enemy observation. The low silhouette is also beneficial when moving forward as an advanced fire base; RipSaw-MS2 has already been tested with the 7.62mm and .50 Cal machine guns. The vehicle was also demonstrated carrying Javelin missiles, but none were fired sofar. The vehicle was weaponized by the Armys Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) at Picatinny Arsenal, NJ. The kit included the installation of a remotely controlled M240 machine gun operated from a separate console installed in the control vehicle.

A horse! No gas to buy (after the apocalypse, who's going to be "selling" it), plenty of forage for fuel, and all you need for "spare" parts is another horse of the opposite sex.
Damn by that definition it could be a camel too and thats just way too close to creepy! :P

Camels can't hack it in the American desert, Army Capt. named Beale tried it back in 1857, most of them died, here it has to be Horses, Mules (or burro's) or Oxen.

Chopper is more hype than real, met him a couple times, he came in to where I onced worked and brought a pair of bolt cutters, blow torch and chain....I know cos I helped him pick them out.
A local copper was talking to the store detective at the time and he nearly had a coronary as he had just been released a couple months before. He was on the phone calling in people when i had to advise him it was the props for his new book roflmao.
Very quiet fella, not a small guy, in any case hes rooted now he has cerosis of the liver through hepatitis. He refuses to go on the transplant list as he reckons there are more deserving people needing one rather than him.
Interesting fella.
He now lives in Victoria. Next to Phil! LOL hehehe

WOW... Just finished watching the whole thing... It's cool Bana got his car in the movie. Don't believe I'd wanna ever meet "Chopper" for ANY reason! While I was watching the movie I kept thinking. "So if this guy and Charlie Manson were in a room together..." :(

Chopper cant abide criminals - he would pull off mansons head and deficate down his neck.
The real chopper! NB where he is located during the interview!

BRILLIANT reporters! One makes fun of his ears, the other called him a "toothless monster"!!!! Making fun of this guy is akin to strapping on meatloaf underwear and walking through a tiger cage!
