    Been eyeing the 4wd version of that wagon. Most dealers wants above the msrp on top of the waiting time.

    for the half million price tag you could have 100 acres bug property, off road vehicle, solar system, food supplies, and all the shtf goodies you could ask for

    We should have a thread called "My Bug Out Ride" about bug out vehicles that we actually could buy or build, not just in a dream. Every time I come here looking for ideas, I find another vehicle that is not remotely in my budget. With the price of some of these vehicles I would be able to buy property away from everyone and build a fully stocked bunker. Definitely simpler than protecting everything I own while feeding a half million dollar behemoth that's rolling down public roads. I'm not saying get rid of this thread, it's always fun to see ideas for my winning Power Ball ticket.

    Protect the radiator. I don't mean with some crap shit aftermarket brush guard that wads up and kills everything in front of the block.
    I am looking at getting a winch bumper/brush guard for my FJ. How do you know which one's are good and which one's are crap from a radiator protecting scenario.

    How do you do this?

    I am not into the jeep scene but this might be a case of you get what you pay for. Mtn Man could hook you up. The one on my dodge weighs about 200lbs.

    The trick is to make it strong enough and tied in along the frame in a "L" fashion. My old Dakota hitch was custom built and was strong enough that when it got rear-ended the frame folded at the kick-ups. the rear part was still intact. Also in designing something like this triangulation is key. I would think on a jeep that having a 8 point cage that ties into the front frame would be beneficial but that is just thoughts from and old guy.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
