Caged, Exoskeleton Burb, 4x4, Offroad Tank, Prepper, Zombie Hunter, Camp King on 2040-cars

Are you really prepared for Doomsday?

Hunkered down in a bunker is no way to prepare.  A bunker is great for home base but to survive you need to be mobile.  A mobile command center should be stout, easy to maintain, built for battle, and capable of going anywhere.

The Business end…

1. Terrain-topping

   To provide a mild amount of clearance without getting too top heavy is a 4 inch lift with extra shock absorbers for a comfortable street ride with good off-road clearance. 

    

   Built for mud and off-roading are 33” Super Swampers, sipped for good traction on-road. 

    

2. Exoskeleton

   Integrated around this mammoth vehicle is a complete roll cage exoskeleton for storage, rigidity, and looks.  Storage for a spare tire, shovel & axe, and high-lift jack are built-in for easy-to-grab accessibility.

    

   LED lighting for front and sides light your pathway or blind your enemy while drawing very low voltage from your battery.

    

   The exo is finished using urethane paint just like Caterpillars.  Though it is not powder coated, it is the next best thing and holds up to the most abrasive pressure washer for easy cleaning.

    

3. Recon Vehicle Accessibility

   Mounted atop the roll cage… a 3500# Mile Marker winch and two 10’ aluminum folding ramps for easy loading and unloading of your recon quad.                     It holds a quad?  Yes, store your recon four-wheeler or even two dirt bikes atop this beast of a machine.

    

   Remote mounted power and winch control makes this an easy-to-use recon storage vehicle. 

    

   Not storing a quad?  Use the included snatch block and rings to increase your line pull to 7000# and use it to pull cars onto your car trailer.

    

4. Remote 12000# Winch Mount

   What good is a fixed-mount winch if it’s in the front and I need to pull from the rear…or mounted in the rear and I need to pull from the front? 

    

   Ever used a winch and struggled to pull that downed tree or heap-of-crap car out of the way only for the truck to be dragged to the junk rather than it dragging the junk out? 

    

   We thought of that and included the solution to both issues:  A Mile Marker 12000# winch with 4 easy mounting locations so you can move the winch where you need it.  Think you are pulling a caged suburban sideways, think again!

    

   But the winch is too heavy to just move it around… both the 3500# and 12000# winch are strung with synthetic cable making these light enough for your grandma to move.

    

5. Heavy Artillery Mount

   As seen on Doomsday Garage, this was built to hold a .50cal machine gun.  The gun is not included with the purchase, nor is the pintle mount cradle for it.  Add your own pintle mount and you are set for whatever bang-bang you equip the truck with. 

    

   So how do I fire it on top the vehicle? A sunroof and reinforced steel console were added for quick access to the Artillery System.  Open the roof, jump on the console, and spray in whatever direction you need.

    

6. Tool and Supply Containers

   Making use of the abundance of storage provided by the cage, 30mm ammo cans for tools or dry storage are easily assessable from the driver side. 

    

   Also included with the truck are 4 jerry cans capable of holding a total of 20 gallons of fuel making useful storage of a needed commodity.  These are coated new, never used cans complete with spouts for each can.

    

   Why not use the hood for storage.  Mounted to the hood are two large shallow 2” baskets for holding weather-resistant materials like tarps, rope, chain, and cable.

    

7. Power replenishing

   Beneath the massive hood baskets are solar panels setup to continuously trickle charge the two deep cycle batteries.  Both batteries are new and provide plenty of power for the truck and all accessories included.  Because of the power upgrade, a new alternator was installed to ensure it was up to the challenge.

What’s on the inside…

1. Fresh water storage

   A 44 gallon aluminum water tank for holding fresh water is conveniently built-in to replace the spare tire well.  An external hose bib mount beneath the quarter panel makes for easy disbursement of water on demand.

    

2. Bed Slide Storage System

   Dual sliding racks for storage of dry goods is made easy with the caster equipped rolling bed slides.  The lower slide is perfectly designed to hold ammo cans in both directions and is carpet padded to prevent scratching from excess wear.  The top rack slides independently of the bottom and is useful for large lighter items and makes for easy retrieval of goods rather than climbing into the back. 

    

   Aside the bed slide is an abundance of space still remaining for storing food, camping supplies, survival tools, or equipment.

    

3. Gun Racks and Safe

   Located within the lockable, reinforced console is a mount for two long guns and a couple ammo cans.  Above the passenger bench seat is an overhead mount capable of holding two more long guns.  Because the rear windows are fixed, why not make good storage space out of the lower portion of the barn doors?  Wait, we did…just beneath each rear window are locking safes for holding guns, ammo, or important documents. 

    

4. Additional features

                   CB radio

                   Huge Bestek power inverter

                   Mud tracker floor mats

                   Kenwood CD player

                   Mile Marker accessory bag with gloves, chain, strap, and winch accessories

 Vehicle Condition and flaws

The Suburban is in great condition given the mileage.  The paint is about 2 years old and still shines like new if you are willing to give it a wax.  No dent or dings in the body.  No rust or rust repair needed or performed. 

A recent tune-up was performed before driving this bad-boy from Washington to Arizona.  Included was:

                New Batteries and Alternator

                New Spark plugs and wires

                K&N Air Filter

                Throttle Body Spacer

                Radiator Flush and Fill

                Oil Change

                New rebuilt 700r4 transmission from ATransmissions.com

                New fuel filter

                Added trans temp gauge

                New belts and hoses

The interior overall is in fantastic shape with no rips or tears on the seats.  Here are the flaws:

• The dash has some cracking due to sun age but it is easily covered with a cheap dash pad. 

• The passenger door lock switch does not work but the lock does, as does the driver power door lock switch. 

• Cruise control is also not working but that is probably a minor item. 

• The radio is a bit finicky and stops working for a minute or two from time to time.

• The new CB is not wired in but it is brand new and works fine.

• The seatbelts get stuck a little when pulling them out.  Not a real flaw and normal for a vehicle of this age but it pisses me off from time to time so I am listing it under flaws.

• A/C blows cool but needs a recharge to blow cold.  That is the same for both front and rear AC

That is about it… this is solid, runs great, shifts even better, looks badass, and is ready for most any scenario you could throw at it.  With the recent engine mods, I saw MPG of 13 on the freeway from WA to AZ…not too shabby for a truck this heavy.

Email with questions….

I am willing to consider most any trade vehicles, bang-bang, tools and other with cash.  There is over 20K in parts and 10k in labor added onto this truck worth about $3500 stock so please don’t low ball.    I don’t need to sell this; I just want some extra funds for my other projects and am already working on Doomsday Commando part II.

Pictures show Burb in Yellow and Gray.  TV show required yellow paint, it was removed and sprayed light gun metal gray using urethane paint as mentioned above. 

I will include a DVD copy of the show if you would like to have it.
