I somehow doubt that your ability to wade through mud a foot deep or scale the Borrego Dropoff is going to affect your ability to wade through zombies. And if you're talking absolute zombie-apocalyptic scenario, why aren't you driving a Deuce and a half with gun ports and a slot in the bottom for the requisite chainsaw? :finger:

You have time to change them out when the zombies come? I gotta stay prepared at all times. :shoot:


Hahahahaha
This is an aggressive post. You probably won’t like it. It is quite doubtful that you have the taste or sophistication to be able to appreciate a post of this quality and depth.

Here's the zombie-proof escape vehicle. For that functionality I'd abandon the SWB and go for the wiener dog to be able to sleep inside.

I totally forgot, this thread wasn't about zombie apocalypse survival... whoops :shoot:

Maybe we should split some of this off into a "Zombie Apocalypse" thread?
