What do you guys keep for SHTF vehicles? I have 3.
_________________________________________________________________
'87 4x4 Toyota pickup, carburated. IFS, so no Birfield joints to go out. Bone stock, except for winch and heavy front bumper. Spare ignition module in the glovebox wrapped in foil for EMP protection. I'll be replacing the cancerous bed with a flatbed with sides and bolting in a toolbox for spare parts and misc. gear. Gutless, but faster than walking, carries a lot, and almost bombproof.
'87 Yamaha Banshee. No cargo racks, but uses little fuel and can outrun most ATVs and dirtbikes. More of a toy than emergency transportation.
Mountain bike. Uses no fuel and allows me to travel much faster than on foot. Great for short trips.
What I really want is a diesel powered 4X4 UTV, such as a John Deere Gator, but that will have to wait until I'm rich (never).
