Hi Guys
Being only a 1200 quid truck I thought I'd have a little fun with it and turn it into a survival / zompocalypse wagon.
The very ethos of these types of vehicles is that you do any mods DIY stylee rather than buying it off the shelf... after all, where ya going to buy stuff with a zombie hord running riot?!
I'm in the process of blacking the chrome (shiny stuff can be seen from a long distance and its girly hairdresser shirt lifting chav bling
).
Next up is an equipment list that needs to be fitted to the outside of the truck, this list includes...
2 x 20ltr Jerry Cans
High Lift jack
2 x sand/mud mats or bridging mats
Dual Handed Axe
Shovel
Pick Axe
Rope
To me the obvious place to put a load of this gear is the spare wear bracket, I can weld up a frame to go over the spare wheel where I could locate the High Lift Jack, Axe, Pick, Shovel and possibly even the jerry cans if it can take the weight.
But how much extra weight can the bracket handle?
The bridging ladders/sand mats could go on the bonnet, its look pretty study (the bonnet) would this cause any problems?
Do you guys have any other ideas? remember this is a do it yourself ethos so no spending a 1000's of quids on a full exo cage to house all this stuff.
Cheers
