Just ran across this on another forum. I'm sure it's high dollar and not EMP proof, but it looks Bad Ass IMHO.

Ive actually been looking into outfitting a truck from the ground up as a BOV. I think my base model is going to be an early 80's toyota. I keep looking and looking, but no luck lately.
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Badass!
Give a man fire, and he'll be warm for a day!
Light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life!
Cat's are food... not friends!
If you're going to fight, then fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp into Noah's arc... and brother, it's starting to rain.
Stormy I had 3 early to mid 80s yota. Great trucks and easy as pie to fix if something did break. My favorite was a 86 with the first year extra cab.had little to no electronics in it. And way over 30 mpg.
That's super cool.
One of these days, I'll start working on a BOV. Right now, it's a matter finding the right vehicle, at the right price, at a time when I can afford it.

Im glad Ive already got my BOV, and its my daily driver... Still some work to be done to it before it is a truly finished project. Getting ready to work on my BOT (Bug Out Trailer). Needs tires, lights wired, safety chains, etc.. Going to convert it to pintal setup.

That thing is badass. I would have started with a solid front axle truck. That bumper is going to put a ton of weight on the already stressed front end. I would definitely rock it though!
Pintle hitches work better on heavier loads, that's why almost all medium duty and up trucks use them for towing. They are sloppy and noisy, but have a much wider range of movement than a ball setup, which can be useful for offroad towing and high angle approaches.
Plus they are much easier and faster to attach and detach than a ball hitch.
