Honestly he way overdid it. Linex probably would have been more practical and cheaper. Armor plates inside the doors, maybe a slanted grilldefender for your radiator.
You just covered the grill and reduced airflow over your radiator. When you stomp the gas and need to bug out, your truck will overheat. This is stupid.
100 extra horsepower doesn't mean anything when you're putting 4000lbs of extra steel on it, without a full suspension upgrade. This guy made a rolling scrapheap, because he's an idiot.
Regardless of the whole prepper thing and bugging out I thought the guy was going to build an armor vehicle. All I see is a guy asking real mechanics and fabricator to build it for him. I do not feel he could build it on his own.
I'm going to do this, but properly execute it. Get some Kevlar so the steele plates can be a lighter load, install a snorkel kit (place steele on pipe but not the intake) install overhead lights, if possible place some steele on the bottom to protect its belly. oh! And put a form of steele ring that fits the tire to allow it to move better, heavily modify the suspension, modify the steering, and of course modify the engine.
Donovan, this comment is three years late but you are absolutely correct. I laugh at these amateurs who don't understand the physics of the vehicle and what just adding armor on to a vehicle will do to its performance and reliability. Just like when we (military) (USMC Ret) did with the HMMWV.
That dinky half ton Suburban now weighs well over it's weight limit, you will probably break something, a spring, an axle shaft, wheel bearings, and be in the middle of nowhere with a 9000 pound Suburban that you now get to live in because that is all you have for shelter.
Its probably 10,000+ lbs. And I'd wager he'll pop a tire just sitting in the garage. If he tries to turn very quickly he'll roll the tire right off the bead as well, not to mention the issues you brought up.
I built the ultimate bug out truck for car shows and its usefull and i can drive it around town for fun and runs flawlessly. Its a 4x4 long wheel base chevy 2500 hd with the vortex big block that came jn them converted it to carberated with a msd ignition system huge super charger woth blower coming out of the hood its lofted only 2 inches that way its dtill stable to drive fast in corners and go off toad ad well. I have 6 racing seats in the bed and its framed in with 3/8 sheet steel for protection from bullets but not any type of gernad launchers and stuff like that could take it out easily. 210 shot nitrous system and makes 1100 hp to rear wheels with out nitrous and 1600 with nitrous. Very easy to drive and very reliable. Has three radiators that the coolant runs through in case one goes out or two. The bed where it has 6 mointed racing seats on a swivel locking system there is also two gun ports and two little bullet proof glass windows so each person can see when they gotta start returning fire. Its a fantasy build for car shows but its still 100 percent functional and stays 100 percent ready to bug out. Im currently building a camper that is armored and im currently building a underground bug out bunkers 4 if them on my family's hunting land that all we all share and all own a percentage of and they all pitching in money for the 4 bug out safety storm shelters as well and there will be a tunnel to connect them all together with a massive concrete and steel sheet reinforced doors to block off acces to the bunkers from the tunnels incase a bunker gets taken. The furthest family is a hours drive from the bunker and thats what my truck will be used for is getting each one of the families to the bug out shelter safely with protection and do it in the cover of night as well. The motor and exhaust is silent i have a muffler system that makes the exhaust silent you cant even hear it 10 feet away all you can hear is the electric fans and thats it and what ever slight noises and motoer and super charger makes. I know i might sound crazzy but i didnt believe in needing all of this stuff and that ppl who prep for post opocolyptic type end of the world fend for your self and your family only type situation until about 3 years ago when this country starting going down hill faster then it ever has and with all these wars going on in the world. The truck also has a 1/8 thick plate steel exoskeleton arounf the whole thing to protect it from rpgs where it will hit the exoskeleton first thats surrounding the truck to make sure there is less damage as possible from a rocket like that like our tanks and other vehicles have in the current military. The windshield is a small thin slit abour a foot wide and 3 feet long made of thick bullet proof glass that can with stand direct hits from a 50cal machine gun wasnt cheap cause i had to buy a old military surplus vehicle that had the bullet proof glass in it and thats where i got my bullet proof glass from and other exterior armor and gun mounts and other equipment and parts for my truck build. I also have a 50cal machine gun mount on the roof that you can open a hatchount a gun and fire but i font have the gun for it but during a end of world situation im sure ill come across a 50cal machine gun at some point off a dead person or a blown up camp or truck or what not. In waiting on my license to come through so i can ourchase a 50cal machine gun legally but which ever comes first i have a plan for one
I've ridden in a regular ol' Chevy vans back in the 80's in certain places in the world. They used aluminum plates on the inside where it isn't so noticeable, and 1" lexan inside the regular glass, sand bags on the floor. Never got shot at but it was better than nothing. And it was a lot lighter than this Suburban freight train......Just sayin'. LS
This is ridiculous. No suspension upgrades for the added weight? No external lighting? Bullet proof glass? No internal cage? That plow is going to break off from the first thing you hit.
Nobody gonna say anything about how impractical the weight of steel plates are gonna be on a 1/2 ton frame? On a gas motor? He probably got 10mpg before. He'd be lucky to get 6 now...id have to say thats far from the ultimate bov but. To each their own. He'll run outta fuel before he actually gets anywhere.
NOS doesn't even make since for this. It isn't magic speed juice. Dude needs to stop watching fast and furious movies and stay well away from the garage.
lol, weighs a ton. Slow to speed up, turn or stop. Radiator can't breathe now, engine over heats along with the heavy load it needs to haul. Engine is way under power to handle all that weight. No armored tires?
Just wondering how much weight that added? Also wont that engine overheat now...? Id of at least bought a big diesel. Maybe slotted out that front deflector plate to get some air in there, and cut weight.
Lets see, restricted airflow to the radiator, a LOT of extra weight. Was the rear end swapped out for a stronger unit to handle the weight and HP? What about the transmission? Shocks, springs, U-joints, door hinges,locks etc. And of course he will drive it around so everyone sees it. And someone will probably take notice, hmmmm.....wonder what else he has that I could use???? OH, and it's now been seen by at least 3,370 people.......
So it kinda looks like natgeo has just gotten lazy and will pay some random person to read off a que card. You don't have to know motors to know adding that much n2o to a stock motor will blow it quick then adding all that weight it's just going rev really high then you'll probably get to meet a piston or 2 impersonation. But obviously he wasn't a prepper reliability safety and low maintenance that's what makes a b.o.v. or any car really.
Why are so many preppers obsessed with “bugging out” and hiding in the woods? To me, it seems kind of cowardly. After any disaster, things will only get fixed by those who stay, unite, fight, and work towards accomplishing that. Those who run achieve nothing beyond avoiding the problem in favor of their own self-interests.
Ok ok ok ok this is no good what a dum idea that big plow in the front is blocking air flow.The motor is stock chevy engine that's old and probably has no power and any engine that u shot with nitrous needs rebuilt after about 3to5 shots
That what people do when they dont trust the Lord Jesus..????? Turn to Jesus he will give you all hope ,love , grace..understanting..you dont need that come on..
I hate people who really religious that say God will provide me with everything if doomsday comes or people who say people just have to count on god he won't let us die ugh I've had enough of that crap😡
God does provide according to them. He provides them the time now to prepare. If they say God will save them, they are completely ignorant about how their religion works.
they now have a piece of crap that had very bad gas mileage and now even worse if that thing even moves. plus is not even diesel even worse no power. get a hummer h2 military grade. that should be good
because who needs airflow to their radiator?
Ben Barnard no one XD this dude is a joke
Facts
A snorkel easily fixes that just have 2 tubes got to the same inlet it would be fine
His truck will overheat because he just blocked the entire grille with that snow plow.
Sketchy Fab Co you see how much welding is going on and not a single welding blanket lol. Glass must be in grate shape on the rig now
Honestly he way overdid it. Linex probably would have been more practical and cheaper. Armor plates inside the doors, maybe a slanted grilldefender for your radiator.
Very much possible
You just covered the grill and reduced airflow over your radiator. When you stomp the gas and need to bug out, your truck will overheat. This is stupid.
Shut up Tyrion, you can't even reach the gas petals.
Donovan notmyname That's mean.
Tyrion I went too far...sorry.
What real armored vehicles used is a slanted steel grill. Blocks rounds but still lets air through
Adding nitrous... Not something a real prepper would do.
it's totally not fast and furious 7
It would be a valuable commodity post collapse though. They use it recreationally all over the uk.
Not fast n furious more like fat n furious
@@noahpaulette1490 useless as it’ll overheat
@@oozly9291 I'm pretty sure nitrous can be stored in stainless steel containers indefinitely as far as I know.
100 extra horsepower doesn't mean anything when you're putting 4000lbs of extra steel on it, without a full suspension upgrade. This guy made a rolling scrapheap, because he's an idiot.
I plan on building my own armored vehicle and this just seems like the wrong way to go about it.
I bet 100$ my 50 bmg would go right through that metal
That one Viking Green tip or even FMJ 5.56 could pass right through the mild steel that he has on his BOV.
It's all mild steel, any intermediate rifle could go through it.
I bet 100 bucks you don’t even have a 50bmg
A hi point 9mm would go through
Won't take that since I'm pretty sure a mosin can take that truck...
Regardless of the whole prepper thing and bugging out I thought the guy was going to build an armor vehicle. All I see is a guy asking real mechanics and fabricator to build it for him. I do not feel he could build it on his own.
No...no... those aren't really professionals. This are his idiot friends playing "shop" for the TV show. It's all a farce.
Can you make the phone your using? Well why own it then if you have to rely on Apple or Samsung? 🥴 stupid logic

the only armor i want is the vest i put on. he should have just got a duce and up armored that or an APC
That was a nice suburban.
imagine when they hit the nos, the engine just explodes
Or more likely just stalls out.

ha ha, you could see the insanity in his eyes!!
So he destroyed a classic vehicle that was in fantastic condition. Because that seemed logical.
Always have a knife, any kind of knife.

Inspires me as a kid to make a rc car one👌👌👌👍👍👍
Be prepared. Don't forget to say 'let's do it'.
Always have it written on your cuff or your wrist. Even bigged up on the workshop wall.
yeah they lifted up the body took of the wheels just to add the armor plates totally needed all that work for that
Nothing my 17 hmr couldn't handle lmao
Yeah, coz i weld my bumper off 😂😂
NOS doesn't even make since for this. It isn't magic speed juice. Dude needs to stop watching fast and furious movies and stay well away from the garage.
What about fuel and airflow to the radiator
Madmax in Real life
Dies from the in cab nitrous explosion never makes it out the garage
I was thinking tornado but this dude is thinking apocalypse
Whats the milage in that thing? Get yourself a cyber truck!
With the armoured glass?
Some people just need to go to church
lol, weighs a ton. Slow to speed up, turn or stop. Radiator can't breathe now, engine over heats along with the heavy load it needs to haul. Engine is way under power to handle all that weight. No armored tires?
Would have been better off without the knick knacks
Rip truck
Just wondering how much weight that added? Also wont that engine overheat now...? Id of at least bought a big diesel. Maybe slotted out that front deflector plate to get some air in there, and cut weight.

I'd prefer a V8 interceptor.
No such thing. Except the vic
The toe cutter approves.
Lets see, restricted airflow to the radiator, a LOT of extra weight. Was the rear end swapped out for a stronger unit to handle the weight and HP? What about the transmission? Shocks, springs, U-joints, door hinges,locks etc.

You covered the headlights.
Where’s the full episode?
A-team.
Cool truck, but Way too heavy to be practical it will get stuck on any road not paved or blow out a tire.
total fail
Eccentric Rich Guys Be Like
Mexican cartel vehicles...
they didn't lift up the truck off its wheels just to add the armor around the body
These prepper videos from NatGeo are truly embarassing !
Looks like a ww2 resistance vehicle
Is that excavator electric or. Is that more nat geo bulldust
WTF is the point of the nitrous? Blow his shit engine up when he is in trouble?
Think Mad Max then build your machine think outside the box.
Next run it off wood gas.
That's naughty but when you think about it, the shooting has already began but they just can not see it
Somebody watched mad max..
Yes GRAND PA!
Gas is better in a survival situation becuase more cars use it. Also Hummers suck
Give them some credit. This brief clip doesn't detail all they did. The geeks seem to know what they're about.
No... everything they were doing was the worst way they could do it.
4 mpg
I apologize for the screw on the tire part. I meant to allow to go further after being spiked.
yeah his worst enemy: traffic jams
I love 'Murica
Its easier for Americans to imagine the end of the world than it is for them to imagine the end of capitalism, the cause of so many woes.
You're so deep. (Yawn)
Capitalism lol your're idiot. Socialism and communism is what cause world hunger.
Commie.
Yeah......Socialism has such a stellar track record. Name one country where the standard of living went up......one......
What is this episode called ??

you bug out to get to safety and then return when all is calm, you cant rebuild anything if your dead.
Dwight Stewart your missing the whole idea
This is not the ultimate bug out vehicle 🤣😂🤣 this some hack job
I believe in him but come on people stop being so stubborn
Ok ok ok ok this is no good what a dum idea that big plow in the front is blocking air flow.The motor is stock chevy engine that's old and probably has no power and any engine that u shot with nitrous needs rebuilt after about 3to5 shots

JESUS IS ALL BULLSHIT....poeple who don´t believe in their own potential turn to myths and religions. Fuck jesus and the bible read about evolution.
lame
I hate people who really religious that say God will provide me with everything if doomsday comes or people who say people just have to count on god he won't let us die ugh I've had enough of that crap😡
God does provide according to them. He provides them the time now to prepare. If they say God will save them, they are completely ignorant about how their religion works.
they now have a piece of crap that had very bad gas mileage and now even worse if that thing even moves. plus is not even diesel even worse no power. get a hummer h2 military grade. that should be good
