Bug out rig

[Big E3]

I am still a fan on damn near anything that is/can be powered by a 8/12V Cummins. This was always my bug-out rig. Trailer rated for 2800lbs of cargo and @24' could carry enough for the wife and I for a year.

Now that's what I'm talking about, simple and gets the job done, I like it!

Shameless Plug but seriously...

Go Anyway with:
30 Gallons Water
10 Gallons Fuel
Propane Tank
Stove
(4) Optima Blue Top D31M DC Power
AC Power option
Plenty of room to store gear, guns, ammo and food.
All Lockable!!

This is a great idea for the Jeepers/off-roaders on this board. Hell, this would be great behind my fifth wheel. But, in the middle of becoming one of those Jeepers. Once that is done, I will be looking at trailers. Shameless plug for a great idea.

I like the trailer idea. For me though, the JK has the right amount of room to be compact and still carry everything we need in a protected shell. Every time we go camping is a great test cycle.

7.3 with a camper conversion

[68Guy]

To dodge guy:

Convert the a/c pump to air. Just remember an inline oiler with air compressor oil in it before the compressor....

Recommendation - we used to do this on our 4x4 rock climbing rigs. Make a heavy steel bumper from explosion proof gas pipe. Seal both ends and put a threaded nipple on one of them for a air fitting. You can then use the low pressure A/C pump to fill the bumper and it will then act as a pretty decent air tank. You would be surprised how much air a decent sized truck tire takes and especially if it popped off the bead. In those situations, you can wrap a "come-along" around the middle of a tire and crank it down to push it against the bead and then air it if you have too.

I have a bmw x5 and a Subaru legacy gt.. even though I think the x5 would do better in a 4x4 situation I would still take the Subaru because of fuel economy. Diesel is always your best bet though for a bug-out vehicle just because it will run on pretty much anything including fryer grease and engine oil.
