Project ZRV
« on: February 14, 2011, 09:10:30 PM »
2012 is coming quick, so I bought this rig to prepare myself and my family for future events
and the Zombie Repsonse Vehicle was born...

j/k, but Here is my truck I've been working on over the last year. Didn't really take alot of pictures but you can still see the progress

Photo 1 and 2: What it looked like when I got it

Photo 3 and 4: Cleaned it up, and rattle canned it

Photo 5 and 6: Cleaned the inside, new interior panels, spray on rhino liner for walls and ceiling, roll on liner for the botom

I like the idea for your rear tire carrier with the x-cross setup between your exo-cage.

How well does it move the tracks with the 16v in there?

Pretty good. Steering is just like tires once you get it going, a lil tougher to turn when you aren't moving. As far as speed it will reach the max recommended speed of 45 pretty easy....probably around 35 seconds
