Since sooner or later something is bound to happen, I figure it's just good sense to be ready to head for the hills (or flee the flames of the Cuyahoga River if you are from Ohio)
My vehicles are nothing special, but from time to time I see things that make me think other people might know something we don't. So here are some pictures of BOV's to get everybody thinking about this. 
As far as I can tell, teh insignia on this switch indicates some sort of Glock-like function. Only $127 for your Land Rover. God bless Lucas. 
Lights are good. Lots of lights. 
I find them more effective when they are pointed at where you are going, but to each their own... 
This is more like it. 
So it begins. The end could be near. What vehicular inspiration lurks on the net?

Here's mine for now- War Machine
"She doesn't look like much but she's got it where it counts. I've some special modifcations myself." Actually I did race to a draw with a new Pontiac GTO this morning, so she has that going for her. 
And for those who still doubt my BOV's abilities, it now features MOAR Magpul. Boom

The EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle for me. Backward and forward through time DeLorean [with Mr Fusion garbage to fuel converter] prototype for the girlfriend. 
ETA: I forgot my "The Highwayman" rig: 
18-wheeler with detachable Aérospatiale Gazelle helicopter (see cockpit) and micro-nuclear fusion power plant and plenty of storage space for Sarah Connor type cache. Vehicle currently secure in an undisclosed location. Can only be activated by fingerprint scan + retina scan + 25 character alphanumeric pass phrase. |

I don't know what this is, but I like it. http://christopherjburns.com/Bug%20truck.JPG The one on the LEFT. That's an Uparmored LMTV in Iraq. Wait a few years and you'll be able to pick them up at Gov't auctions. Not a bad truck but maintenance can be a bitch. |

This is my current project BOV........ have a lot I want to do to it........I think it will end up pretty cool. Right now its a great driver and needs nothing as is. But we can make it better than it was before, faster, stronger.........(key music)  If I had the $ and the space I would love to rebuild one of those. The trailer for the womenfolk is a smart idea!

Poor Mans Landrover... http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/buckmaw_1/photo37.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/buckmaw_1/photo39.jpg http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/buckmaw_1/photo41.jpg I think I MIGHT have $1500-1700 total in the truck including buying it... (pic when I bought it) http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg316/buckmaw_1/ponchowagon.jpg I had already put 16inch tires on it... any major problems? |

Motor had intake leak when I got it. It actually a 2.8 chevy V6 in it so parts are not bad. The starter is starting to drag so I will be changing that ($60) And I'm putting in a new fuel pump. The only major mod I'm planning is either a limited slip rear end or a set of Aussie Lockers. |
