Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV

Before:

After:

I had just bought the truck for 4k with just over 100k miles on it, was just going to be a daily driver but decided to make it a capable off road vehicle. Soon you will see the transformation of this truck into the ZAPV or Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle.

This is how I got the truck.

I decided to put bed liner on all of the plastic parts, and it looked good. At this point I thought I was done with the body (foolish me) I was going to settle for a good looking with minor capabilities truck.

I soon grew tiered of all the plastic wrapped around the truck, and the fact that the bed liner wasn’t sticking to it, so I pulled all of the plastic off and started over. I filled all of the holes left by the plastic with bondo or expanding insulation foam.

Bed lining was applied next. The whole truck was covered (including the rear wheel well). This didn't take as long as I thought it would.

And at last the Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV. It is the essential vehicle to use in case of a zombie outbreak, it can drive long distances, prevent rust, clime mountains, find high ground, and cover your sent from the brain eating *******s. This should not be your only plan in an zombie infestation, but you should always keep several options on the table. A vehicle would be the first step of a evacuation from an infected area. You would only want to use it to get out of a major city and make it to a relatively rural zone where you can take a high vantage point. Remember always be prepared.

EDIT: I don't have time to make rules and such for membership so if any one want to be in Team ZAPV just pick a number (except 1-3)

That is so freaking cool. LMAO Read their preparedness manual. HAHA!

Go to their website and download the poster. Import to Photoshop and save as a jpeg. Send to Walmart and print.
 












You know, a lot of people knock the fact that the CDC spent money doing this and complain about government waste... But, even if it weren't for the fact that the real purpose of that was just to present disaster preparedness in a humorous light, it is still entertaining enough that I'd say it was worth it.

Also, I should have probably gotten one by now, but could I get 3.1415926535? π works too... It is the letter lower case Pi in other fonts... Here, this looks like Pi ∏... kinda

Hey you guys should look up Zombicon. There's a few different ones, I know there's one down here in Ft. Myers, but I also know there's one in NY. There's most likely others. Anyways, they're giant gatherings of people dressed up like zombies and zombie hunters. They're hilarious =P I went last year and saw my english teacher haha.

the one in Ft Misery- http://www.zombicon.com/
 






So we are at 4 cases that I know of so far....

Alright. So. My friend had asked me today if there was anyway to extend the bed on a sport trac...like make a new bed fenders out of fiber glass and extend the frame and all that jazz. This peaked my interest and I wanted to bounce the idea off y'all.
