Hmmm... HMMWV vs UNIMOG as the baby transporter... tough decisions..

[S204STi]

Hmm.

And you can get a running, military surplus M989 (soft top with half doors) with relatively low miles for about $35,000.

When I google M989 I come up with a trailer.  Not the same, bro.

[S204STi]

I have fond memories of H1's.  My dad had one when we were growing up (I grew up on a military base for awhile).  I still remember him picking me up from the house with it.  I had big googles on, and was leaning over the side, pretending to shoot people with my neon green and orange toy machine gun

His didn't have doors, windshield, or a roof.  Just a roll bar outline around where the windshield would go.

My dad owned one years ago as well.  It was pretty rad; desert tan single-cab with a hard top.  Chevy 350, so it was dead-slow, but at least it didn't clatter like the oil-burners (pre-Duramax).  He ran a business for several years with it, doing offroad recovery and tours in SW Colorado.

[SVT666]

Fuck I want one.

Doh, M998.  I'm dyslexic with numbers too.

You want a good 4x4 that nothing can touch off road? Find a Suzuki Samurai.

[Rupert]

Pretty much.

I am not a subscriber to bigger is better, unless we're talking about mud bogging, which is a stupid activity, anyway.

An H1 is pretty much useless where I live, but I would still like to have one just in case the apocalypse ever comes.  Otherwise, I will take a Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon.

It'll work great against Zombies, unless you're going up against Zombie Hulk.

Unimog wins everything. It's the rich man's Suzuki SJ.

[NomisR]

Hmm,... AND it has a Mercedes Logo which should satisfy any brand snob.

[S204STi]

The H1 is surprisingly capable, for its size.  The Samurai pretty much rocks though.

[Rupert]

It is, but size is size.

Does Tracker count?

[Payman]

Does Tracker count?

Almost... if you don't mind leaving your tupperware bumpers behind. Another great offroader was the Lada Niva.

[TurboDan]

Does Tracker count?

Tracker was a Sidekick, not a Samurai. From what I hear it was surprisingly capable off-road, though.

[2o6]

Tracker was a Sidekick, not a Samurai.

Sidekick was pretty similar

[Rupert]

Yeah, AFAIK, the Sidekick was about as capable as the Samurai.

Also the Daihatsu Rocky.

It was BOF, right? I know it had a 4low setting too. My uncle had one back in the day. Used it kinda like a dune buggy. It was a cool little truck to throw around in the beach sand.

As long as they kept running.

Which one? BOF doesn't matter, either way. All the utes I mentioned had real 4WD.

[Galaxy]

That's awesome.  I'm buying one before the apocalypse.

The Canadian company Conquest is also building something for the apocalypse. The Knight XV,








Has everything from a Playstation to an hermetically sealed interior in case of a gas attack. 

[NomisR]

For use in case of a Zombieapocolypse?

[Payman]

Fuck me that's huge. I wouldn't afford the tires on that thing.

[Laconian]

I didn't know that Canadians had such a nutso survivalist streak.
