Bug out rig

[brianakell]

honda bad in winter
jetta wagon still pretty bad in winter, especially unplowed roads, and wont be pulling close to 40 with a trailer, if the transmission and rest of the drivetrain survives the trailer load.
jeep, get after it, and blow up shafts or rear driveshaft, its done too.

Id be outfitting the jeep with some more improved drivetrain parts. and forget the other 2.

That's a beast of a bumper.

Looks like a fanny pack for light duty trucks.

I'd hate to have to hit something with it but I will if need be. L

I was a paying member of TDR for a long time, now I just spend time over at cumminsforum and the colorado diesel crew

To dodge guy:

Convert the a/c pump to air. Just remember an inline oiler with air compressor oil in it before the compressor.

Get the bumper etc tied into a lot more than the last 3-4" of frame rail, it wads up like foil. Id make it bolt on as well, any need to reseal the timing case to the block and you need to get everything out of the way in front of the engine.

Haven't had to do the timing cover gasket yet, as far as I know people pull the pumps from a 1st gen dodge to do the a/c compressor to air tank idea. That thought has definitely crossed my mind just don't know where to put a tank.

What year is the jetta? IF it's newer, it won't be safe against EMP.
