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.

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)

lol lets go withhhhhh ZAPP-023? i'll provide cover for you while you run the hordes over :p
 






stuffs gettin real serious now
 






the tires are a little stuffed but not to bad. I sloved the rubbing issues while driving and hitting bumps and not all bumps were small. I know if I were to take it off road right now that it would rub and cause problems but that will all be sloved here real soon.

Any way we can start getting a quote going with with every ones location and your number so that we may know who is active in this chat and know that who and where everyone is in case something does break out. I would love to see what everyone is driving as to see how perpeared everyone is so that we may know who to put in charge of what and where. Is there any Military in here, and wat are your jobs and specialits.

so i guess let me start

411 : davepeters : El Paso, TX : urban unit : army and mechanic : 2003 Saturn Vue

(in order by nnumber please. Thank you)
 












You can remake the list or I'll take over again, whatev works

You can still do the list. But figure if we just quote it and add ur info yo the the list it would follow the form and everything. Plus we will know who is still active.

Zombie Apocalypse Survival Map (Google Maps Format)

Zombie+Resource+Map.png


Found this on the internet. Too useful not to pass it on.

So it's the Zombie Apocalypse, and you're up ghoul creek without an assault rifle. If you absolutely must survive, Map of the Dead is the site for you. Simply plug in the coordinates of your Zack-proof bunker and the Zombie Survival Map will direct you away from danger zones and toward all the necessary gear you'll need to ride out the end of the world.
