    Maybe I'll sell my truck and use the money to build a custom rig, with armor and 'hardened' electronics and the works.... hmm this could be fun......[/quote]


    We can do that. many years ago I built a vehicle with kevlar and plate floor, BP windows kevlar reinforced doors and engine compartment, adde 1200#s to the vehicle, but the guy was happy.
    And so was I cost him about 12k to do it.

    Between my experience/education as an auto tech and my experience with fabrication (both structural and sheet metal) I figure I can probably get something done fairly inexpensively if I did the work myself. I do like the idea of kevlar though and I've never worked with that at all.

    Working with Kevlar takes many forms. I have used it in place of fiberglass and had some good results
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    I found the perfect EMP vehicle. Description matches what I'm looking for perfectly
    http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2337422098.html

    Original "F" Head, Rebuilt Top End, Converted to 12 Volts, Changed to Warn Locking Hubs, New Shocks, Five Gun Racks, Buddy Seats in Back (for the gunners), Tow Bar, Some Rust Spots (It's almost 60 years old...) Uglier than Dirt but Runs Great and is Guaranteed to be EMP Proof. Good Hunting Vehicle...

    What is kind of scary is that there are ATV's that are almost as big.
