Zombie Assault Preparedness Vehicle or ZAPV

[RedEB]

Oh give me a break. :thumbdwn:

















OK, the wife is gone now... FRICKING AWESOME!!!!!!! remember, extra filters in the in-cabin air filters to prevent blood mist. Also, might want to reinforce the glass, them zombie heads are tough! Other than that, rock on! May I also recommend UV headlights. Some zombies are photo-sensitive, can never be too prepared in my book!

 

[Project_Exploder]

I completely agree on the extra filters and reinforced glass...but who needs UV lights when you just run over every damn zombie you see!!!! Now a turret on the other hand.....

 

[Four0Sport]

well think about it.. if there are zombies around whats to say there wont be vampires. thats where the uv lights come in handy. in fact the uv light should be on the window pillar and be adjustable like on a cruiser. vampires can fly and stuff.

This is the kind of thing I love to see. Taking a crazy theme and having the guts to run with it.

Maybe we could have an "Explorer Theme Truck " thread. Stico's truck, yours and others could be in there. I think it would encourage this kind of crazy behavior.

I love that idea, especially when the truck is a daily driver.

On a side note I don't intend on using the truck to smash into zombies, that would only shorten the life of the truck, in fact the point of the truck is to avoid zombies, but if you have to confront them that turret would be the best option for a large crowd. That being said, I would not use a gun in most instances. It only draws the attention of other zombies to your location, and a machete never runs out of ammo.

Wait a second....I just realized this vehicle is in maryland...that means i might actually get to see it! Or survive the outbreak, whichever comes first.

I've been on the look out for it ever since this thread started.

That's awesome! I love the graphics on the rear hatch.

I wonder though...have cops given you any trouble about it? It seems sometimes they do when people have..."distinctive" vehicles...

What's the favorite comment anybody has given you about it? I'll bet you talk to a lot more strangers now...

Edit: Oh, if the zombies show up in force, come pick me up. My explorer isn't ZAPV certified.

My favorite comment happened today actually, I was putting air in my tire and a mechanic came up to me to see if I needed any help with my tires (I have a nail in one). He asked me about the bed liner, then pointed at the "ZAPV" on the front and asked if I worked for them.

To any one who wants to see it I work off of Hwy 40 and Rolling road in Catonsville MD (next to the Firestone)

I'm the next member of ZAPV. I'm going to paint it on my truck tomarrow. I have been preparing for zombies sence I was a child, so it makes me feel good that someone else thinks like me.
