hmm.. prob run the tires I have now but with maybe 3 spares.... 1 on the rear 2 on the roof. armor ORE fenders/armor, Riv. Raid skids, replace all rear windows with steel, replace windshield front side windows with lexan, need a full width big a$@ bumper prob the ugly road armor or AEV and weld on some tubing so that when you plow into things, zombies they get thrown to the side rather than go underneath. some sort of advanced fuel cell so I dont need to get gas every 4 hours, much steel to reinforce the hardtop and doors. snorkel as BB said.

Id say thatd be it....

probably use it as a heater and hunker down in my house/compound

besides... if the "end" has anything to do with predictions of nuclear war (nuculer if your sarah palin) or radition/magnetism from the sun, all our electronics will be fried anyways...

so the tires will be used for heat, the wheels will be chairs, the doors will be for uparmoring the house/compound, the soft top will be used to collect water (if applicable), the rest of it will be chopped and put to use in contructing necessary items

...and the e-brake will be... well... useless.. kinda like it is now.

They'd just keep running at you and start your Jeep on fire!

Heavy duty plow for the front (not necessarily for snow).

Some great ideas floating out there so far, but how about some of those chariot wheel blades like they used in Ben Hur?

I'd build up a proto-type jeep based on an AC130. And maybe a sentry gun or two for camp.

Hmm...I'll have to check with my son and post back here, he's killed a lot zombies.

This is spooky. Found this on the 'net:

Part of the 2012 mystique stems from the stars. On the winter solstice in 2012, the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky Way for the first time in about 26,000 years. This means that whatever energy typically streams to Earth from the center of the Milky Way will indeed be disrupted on 12/21/12 at 11:11 p.m. Universal Time.

We all know how weird everyone gets on a full moon - just imagine this!

Electronics will be useless. Guns and associated ammo are too heavy. It's going to be in December, so I'm thinking "warm". A thick blanket and a bottle of schnapps will be the only preparation I'll need!

But I think all you really need are some rolls of duct tape, some paper clips, a knife and some toilet paper! And the necessary supplies to make your own !
