Show me your bugout vehicle

I agree the trunk might not hold that much but this car has an uncanny ability to get through the tightest of places.

I recommend using a high current relay (available online or through any local custom stereo shop) and setting it up to only connect the batteries when in the "on" or "run" position. Then if you kill the battery (listening to the radio with key on accessory for example) the batteries are reconnected when you turn the key to "start". Of course, this will not guard against an alternator failure like a solar charged backup battery on standby would. However it will keep both batteries "matched" in age and voltage.

Back on topic: Here's my planned BOV and soon to be weekend toy. 1990 Ramcharger "Sheep Dish", 5.2L V8, 4spd auto, 4wd. Bought it cheap and so far after a tune up it's appears to be very solid. Picked it up like this:

After a little cleaning, removed the steps, and repainted the wheels.


Plans for it are: Lift 4-6", 33-35" tires, lockable drawer system in cargo area, roof rack, outside mounted spare, onboard air, locker(s) for the axles, and basically relibility enhancing mods.

I have just begun the process of purchasing my bug out vehicles.
I have modification plans for all of them but I will save that for when I actually get there.
I have been working on a main rig and triple redundant back up plans for all sorts of situations.
First off is the Land Rover Discovery 2.



These are pretty capable off road should I have to take an alternate route.

2 days after I purchased the Disco I bought a 4x8 trailer to haul any extra supplies as well as a trio of backup rides.

Those back up rides are as follows:
I have a pair of reconnaissance rides to slink around quietly looking for anything.
One for me and my wife.
Honda metropolitans


I modified the checkered one a bit just for fun


They only did about 38mph stock but with a couple mods they both do 45 and the green one should do a little over 50 once it is tuned properly.

Not really going to outrun cars or bullets but they are quiet and get about 100mpg and can outrun people.

My most recent purchase is for some more serious recon or when we have to bail on everything and get out to nowhere.
It can easily haul my wife and I and some gear once I get some bags and/or racks on it.
It will do highway speeds pretty easily and is capable of going way off road.
XR650L




The last rides on the list are just for one more level of backup.
They require no fuel and can haul enough to survive for a few days.
We won't get anywhere too fast but it may beat walking as long as there are some back roads to ride on.
My bike.


My wife's bike.
She has a couple of bags of her own and we can spread all our gear across the two bikes.


I have no real intentions of leaving my house but if I need to then we should be able to get pretty far and set up camp in the middle of nowhere if need be.

In the process of getting the 2006 factory body lift, off road tires, engine rebuild. Gas mileage/ride quality of a car, with the utility of a small truck (I live alone, only prep for me) Don't mind the kayak...lol it was a test fit, I live on a lake

So here are my BOV's

Ok so that wasn't really my BOV but where from an up coming movie, here is a picture of me driving my real bug out vehicle.
