Bug out rig

[USAFGopherMike]

Rocky mountain diesel is good.

Gotta do my pods eventually also.

Thanks. I'd like to do them myself but worry about getting the FP install right and don't have the stuff to tap the manifold.

I have a tap set if you want to borrow. If you want to wait till the end of the month ish ill have time

I'd get the 3/4 ton something and tow the Jeep with it. Jeep can double as cargo hauler and can winch out the truck if it gets stuck. If you run out of road the Jeep should be able to get you where you want to go from there...

I can probably lend a hand as well. Have done multiple gauge installs. Won

I have been thinking about towing while bugging out (a trailer to hold more supplies) and have come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be in my best interest to tow anything. If you are on a leisurely evac BEFORE the SHTF then that might be ok. But for those that plan to stick around at their primarily location as long as possible and use BO as a plan B, I think towing could get you into trouble. If it's already time for plan B I suspect the roads maybe congested and even dangerous. How many of you could go full speed reverse with a trailer if you were to come across some hostel BGs? I sure couldn't. Just a thought...

I haven't personally done many upgrades to my primary BO vehicle, which is a 3/4 ton, but I'd like too. It is however a FFV which allows me the capability to run ethanol which isn't the most available or efficient fuel but it can be manufactured rather easily if/when gasoline runs out. I keep enough jerry cans filled, rotated and on hand to make two trips with two vehicles to our primary BO location at a rural family property. Running fuel level in vehicles never allowed to get below half tank. Gear will go in the camper shell equipped truck bed and a cargo roof rack.

That's a beast of a bumper.

Looks like a fanny pack for light duty trucks.

If I could just get my fellow broomfielders to go in on it with me....

The kids just have to learn the shift pattern. My first was made in 58. 0-50 by a sun dial. but at 3 mph nothing would stop it.
