Great ideas! I've often thought about a zombie defense vehicle too. You just never know...

I'll add that you would need a sturdy bumper/grille guard and a decent selection of hand tools. On board air would be a plus. As would at least 2 spare tires. And of course, a bunch of guns. :gunner:

Oh and maybe a chainsaw, you know, for hand to hand combat... :greenchainsaw:

I've thought of that already too as far as a Zombie Pusher on the front. Guns??? Oh yeah, there will be plenty. :naughty:

You are definitely gonna some beefy bumpers front and rear. It also would benefit from a complete exo-cage. Added stiffness for running the fuggers over and incase you happen to roll the whole shabang. Why take any chances!

I like the idea of having an exoskeleton but I don't know that it would be worth all the added weight. Every time I see a zombie show or movie, there are always 1000 military humvees just sitting there and they always stay in whatever piece of crap they are already in. I wouldn't mind snagging a humvee and a small trailer if I didn't have the opportunity to build my lwb quad cab cummins monster that I have envisioned.

No doubt, A Humvee would be the vehicle to start with. Or even a MultiFuel Duece. hmmmm Maybe a Burb would be the wrong vehicle.

WTH, I can still pretend and have some Zombie Vehicle features. :happy175:

Yep, he's been through my hometown a few times. I actually talked to him for several minutes while they were waiting for the storm to move in. That thing is bad ass. 6x6, bulletproof windows, etc.

Nah, I bet a burb would hold up halfway decent. Better than the poor fool in a Civic. :gr_grin:

Yeah, I'd definitly rather be in a stock burb than alot of other vehicles...Although I'm not going to front...if I saw a quad cab Ford Raptor...I think I would jump in and not think twice about the fact that its a Ford. :driver:

Forgot the floating car...

This is more along the lines of what I would probably build. With a tad more front-end protection and some bars across the windshield.
