At 1.01 there is a black one sponsered by Magpul. It belongs to Couch Off Road Engineering here in Denver. He buys them and builds them up into whatever a customer wants. That black one is called Bam Bam and he ships it over to Europe to compete in races over there. We are going to go visit his shop here soon. Someday I will own one.

thats awesome, im trying to get my brothers fire dept to buy the firetruck unimog they have on thier site.lol

 

Where can i find a Lock N Roll hitch, besides there main sight, or is that the only place

 

My 67 Ghia didn't have anything "electronic" in it in so far as you think of a chip or printed board. The only control on the engine was the rotor which was gear driven off the crank. Only two wires which weren't going to a spark plug. Simple.

Keeping that in mind, any robust vehicle from the 50's or 60's would be perfect. The first thing that comes to mind is any of the Power Wagon configurations (many popular models were used and abused by the military). This one's pimped out, but you get the idea...


Sturdy, robust, and they were very popular for a multitude of roles including fire/rescue. It's not a speed demon, but you can run over small trees and loads of zombies.



There's a rusted to hell one of these near me. If it was in better condition I would buy it in a heartbeat...

 

I ordered mine right from their site.

 

thats what i think I'm gonna do unless i can find it a little cheaper somewhere else..

 

I'd love to have RHD type 3 like that, I had a chance to buy one, no rot and no rust, it just didn't run the guy wanted 300

 

What do you guys think of a good multi-tool?

 

I'd rather have the Toyota Mega Cruiser...

 

And subbed

 

Ordered 3 blitzpro 6in bars today, goin to mount to my roof rack for side and rear lights

 

If you are talking multitool like I think you are then I will comment that I have NEVER been away from my Leatherman Skeletool CX for a minute in about the last six years. I always carry my Skeletool, Benchmade Griptillian along with a few odds and ends but those are with me constantly.

I am a bit of a gadget guy and there are more complicated and less expensive tools out there but this is light, quality, versatile and has everything I need for everyday. The changeable bits are brilliant!

Hope that helps....stay safe!!

 

Friend of mine got one of these. Much better than Leatherman just because of the built in power assist gears. I can barely grip the handles and nothing will yank it out of the pliers! You can change out the tools to have whatever you want as well.

Just completed my weekend project. So now I can carry an extra 16 gallons of fuel and never need to take the cans down to refuel my actual tank. Just take the top off the jug and put the fuel pick up tube in give a couple pumps of the nozzle and fuel starts flowing good

 

Neat. Where did you get that handle from?

 

Off of Amazon it is a scepter Flow n go max fuel nozzle

 

Last night.. peaked out at 3,400 Feet..

Proof that you can have just as much fun in the mountains/snow without having $5k in lights, hot water shower and gourmet food!!

 

Keep it simple stupid is a good saying for a reason

 

Love the fire shot. Missing camping!
