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.

There is one on the zapv site but yes a more conclusive one, listed under states and what not would be good

Thanks Govna ! I'm thinking of doing a Build Thread for the bed liner and then when i can i will be doing custom bumpers front and rear with a rear swing tire carrier and also down the road maybe a winch up front too
 






I don't know if there's any more on the pages I did not check, I'll look when I get home from work and revise the list as needed
 






Does it have to be an Explorer?
 






finished it out, was a big pain in the butt. Number i chose was already taken, so I adjusted accordingly. I don't even know if half of these people still use the forum or not. we'll see...

Don't worry about that - but you can always edit a post if you make it on accident.

Good work on this!! That is a hell of an army of ZAPV'S!
 






Didn't want to quote that whole post but I'll take ZAPV1094 :)
