Do you prefer a carbureted or fuel injected BOV?

I can make it run decent and what not, but Some people are awesome with carbs while I admit I can just get it running and daily driver ok and get it decent if messing with about anything on the carb. I do admit to reading instructions on carbs as needed, books and net and what not. These days most of my stuff is fuel infected because it was the best combination of everything I wanted, or it is what I found in my price range if I was being a tad picky. Want a tj with a 6 speed manual transmission, gonna be infected with fuel injectors. Found a beat up 95 ford with a straight 6, also fuel infected with injectors. On these I can change out parts, have the stuff to check codes and watch things work and do decent at most problem fixing. For drivability and ease of use I do like fuel infection but I am not turned off by carbs. These days most of what I like is older stuff so swapping newer engines in or aftermarket options work as well. |

The SHTF and you are prepared to leave and you are getting out of Dodge before everyone else. 2. The S already hit the fan and you are trying to get out of Dodge - but the main roads are all blocked with traffic - with the 1 million other people that had the same idea as you. The first scenario - you need the largest vehicle you can find that is enclosed that can haul YOU, your immediate family, all of your primary belongings, Food, Clothing, Shelter, guns, radios, and everything you need to be self sufficient. The Suburban with a extra gas tank, lift kit, big tires, heavy duty axles, a trailer to haul what the Suburban cannot is my first choice. You have to believe that the electric is going to be out, the gas stations will not be pumping gas and the junkyards and parts stores are going to be closed. You need a vehicle that you can steal parts from other vehicles to get to where you have to go - if you break down along the way. This would exclude anything foreign, anything obsolete, anything unique. The second - you need a Suburban or Avalanche type vehicle, something that you can both use to haul everything and something that you can sleep in if you have to. You want to blend in with everyone else, you don't want to call attention to yourself - else someone else might rob you. You want 4 wheel drive - since you will only be able to drive as far as the vehicle will go and then from there you will be on your own. A large national Forrest with limited access would be my first choice, but you cannot walk in there like you just bought the place, else when you get there, you will find 100 other people with the same intent. 2nd choice would be the Bad Lands in Wyoming. A person could really get lost in that place. 3rd would probably be Yellowstone National Park - since there would be some game that you would be able to eat to survive until things gets better or until who ever or what ever caused the event is gone, in power or has ran it's course. Anyone planning on fixed location - house along a main or back road, will be the first people to succumb to what ever threat is causing the event. MY REASONING IS BECAUSE IF YOU CAN DRIVE THERE, SO CAN SOMEONE ELSE. If they see smoke, they will figure fire, food and someone to steal from. They didn't quit making guns when they made yours. Eventually you have to go to sleep. And, if it is a foreign power, they will just drop a bomb on your location and kill you instead of just trying to round you all up and make you conform. With me, it won't be worth their bother to try to follow me deep into the Forrest and their resources will be better spent trying to round up all of the sheeple. If it is a disease or pandemic - most people will already be dead before they ever make it out of Dodge! You will bring it with you and won't even know it! Our government has chemicals that 10 drops of one substance could pollute enough water in any of the great lakes to kill millions of people. We have airborne diseases that could be released in the exhaust of a jet that would kill more people then the plague. How did I miss this gem? Because it was on page 62 and everyone else ignored it? Sort of surprised me too. I bet they have a Suburban. |

It was reliable as all hell, as I used to commute 120 miles a day round trip in it (back when diesel was cheap). My commute involves climbing a 4k+ elevation pass, and I used to get passed by big rigs going up it. |

All colors are temporary. Also check out the PMA bumper kit pretty easy/cheap way for a front bumper/winch mount. I helped my buddy build one for his burb, came out really nice. Well made kit.

Typically, most folks think their plan is the best plan. Why wouldn't they? They made the decision based on their own research and formed an idea. Unfortunately, it'll take an extreme event before we'll know for sure. It's best to have several options and pray that they are enough. I tend to learn from others instead of judging and finger pointing. |

Thread is bov thread.
Folks leave florida all the time ahead of hurricanes. A big rv leaving ahead of the storm can cruise a few states north and the people can camp out at a park and watch the news and when things are clear wander back down and call their insurance folks. While dealing with power outages, wrecked house, or whatever that big ol rv has enough comfort to make life as simple as it needs to be so the wife and kids won't be crying and if you are working on cleanup you know there is a hot shower available at the end of the day. I figure for most stuff, I am staying. We have had threads about train wrecks or wrecks on the road of tanker trucks, depending on chemicals you may be leaving right now. I don't recomend an rv or camper for everyone. But depending on your plans it might be an easy way to deal with things if you are in hurricane country and can leave a few days ahead each time. Katrina was interesting because it was the first time I really watched and read about people riding out the storm. I know others have done it, this was the first time I really paid attention to it. Vehicle choice matters if you are looking at flooding, blocked roads, or the unknown. |
