Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV

Before:

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.

You guys are hilarious!

I bought a 1997 Ford Explorer V8 AWD tonight. Looking forward to having some fun with it. First things first, I need to replace the radiator (leaking) and I need to do the front brakes (ABS light is also on-not looking forward to attempting to get that off). Other than that, it's in surprisingly good shape. And I got a WONDERFUL deal on it.

Now, in zombie news, I started a group called the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Group which is all about preparedness for collapse-with a zombie twist. Check out www.myspace.com/latenitenate any Explorer ZAPV members are welcome to join up!

Ooh and Ducey! With me joining, you got another ZAPV from Georgia!
 






nice, sorry but I have not had the time (or the internet at home) to keep the sight up to date, and I probably won't for the next 6 months.

I am going to be joining the army as a light wheel mechanic in april so I won't see much of this site till then. Keep up the good work till I get back :D
 






Hey 2-Stripe, if you want, I can help keep the site updated... I won't screw anything up lol - I have my own site for my graphic/web design portfolio so I know what I'm doing ;)

If you want to PM me or email me at: xport7 {a} gmaildotcom
