Are you really prepared for Doomsday?
Hunkered
down in a bunker is no way to prepare. A
bunker is great for home base but to survive you need to be mobile. A mobile command center should be stout, easy
to maintain, built for battle, and capable of going anywhere.
The Business end…
Terrain-topping To provide a mild amount of clearance without
getting too top heavy is a 4 inch lift with extra shock absorbers for a
comfortable street ride with good off-road clearance. Built for mud and off-roading are 33” Super
Swampers, sipped for good traction on-road.
Exoskeleton Integrated around this mammoth vehicle is a
complete roll cage exoskeleton for storage, rigidity, and looks. Storage for a spare tire, shovel & axe,
and high-lift jack are built-in for easy-to-grab accessibility. LED lighting for front and sides light your pathway
or blind your enemy while drawing very low voltage from your battery. The exo is finished using urethane paint just like
Caterpillars. Though it is not powder
coated, it is the next best thing and holds up to the most abrasive pressure
washer for easy cleaning. Recon Vehicle Accessibility Mounted atop the roll cage… a 3500# Mile Marker
winch and two 10’ aluminum folding ramps for easy loading and unloading of your
recon quad. It holds a quad? Yes, store
your recon four-wheeler or even two dirt bikes atop this beast of a machine. Remote mounted power and winch control makes this
an easy-to-use recon storage vehicle. Not storing a quad?
Use the included snatch block and rings to increase your line pull to
7000# and use it to pull cars onto your car trailer. Remote 12000# Winch Mount What good is a fixed-mount winch if it’s in the
front and I need to pull from the rear…or mounted in the rear and I need to
pull from the front? Ever used a winch and struggled to pull that downed
tree or heap-of-crap car out of the way only for the truck to be dragged to the
junk rather than it dragging the junk out?
We thought of that and included the solution to
both issues: A Mile Marker 12000# winch
with 4 easy mounting locations so you can move the winch where you need
it. Think you are pulling a caged
suburban sideways, think again! But the winch is too heavy to just move it around…
both the 3500# and 12000# winch are strung with synthetic cable making these
light enough for your grandma to move. Heavy Artillery Mount As seen on Doomsday Garage, this was built to hold
a .50cal machine gun. The gun is not
included with the purchase, nor is the pintle mount cradle for it. Add your own pintle mount and you are set for
whatever bang-bang you equip the truck with.
So how do I fire it on top the vehicle? A sunroof
and reinforced steel console were added for quick access to the Artillery
System. Open the roof, jump on the console,
and spray in whatever direction you need. Tool and Supply Containers Making use of the abundance of storage provided by
the cage, 30mm ammo cans for tools or dry storage are easily assessable from
the driver side. Also included with the truck are 4 jerry cans
capable of holding a total of 20 gallons of fuel making useful storage of a
needed commodity. These are coated new,
never used cans complete with spouts for each can. Why not use the hood for storage. Mounted to the hood are two large shallow 2”
baskets for holding weather-resistant materials like tarps, rope, chain, and
cable. Power replenishing Beneath the massive hood baskets are solar panels setup to
continuously trickle charge the two deep cycle batteries. Both batteries are new and provide plenty of
power for the truck and all accessories included. Because of the power upgrade, a new
alternator was installed to ensure it was up to the challenge.
What’s on the
inside…
Fresh water storage A 44 gallon aluminum water tank for holding fresh
water is conveniently built-in to replace the spare tire well. An external hose bib mount beneath the
quarter panel makes for easy disbursement of water on demand. Bed Slide Storage System Dual sliding racks for storage of dry goods is made
easy with the caster equipped rolling bed slides. The lower slide is perfectly designed to hold
ammo cans in both directions and is carpet padded to prevent scratching from
excess wear. The top rack slides
independently of the bottom and is useful for large lighter items and makes for
easy retrieval of goods rather than climbing into the back. Aside the bed slide is an abundance of space still
remaining for storing food, camping supplies, survival tools, or equipment. Gun Racks and Safe Located within the lockable, reinforced console is
a mount for two long guns and a couple ammo cans. Above the passenger bench seat is an overhead
mount capable of holding two more long guns.
Because the rear windows are fixed, why not make good storage space out
of the lower portion of the barn doors?
Wait, we did…just beneath each rear window are locking safes for holding
guns, ammo, or important documents. Additional features CB

Vehicle Condition and flaws
The Suburban
is in great condition given the mileage.
The paint is about 2 years old and still shines like new if you are
willing to give it a wax. No dent or
dings in the body. No rust or rust
repair needed or performed.
A recent
tune-up was performed before driving this bad-boy from Washington to
Arizona. Included was:
New Batteries and Alternator
New Spark plugs and wires
K&N Air Filter
Throttle Body Spacer
Radiator Flush and Fill
Oil Change
New rebuilt 700r4 transmission
from ATransmissions.com
New fuel filter
Added trans temp gauge
New belts and hoses
The interior
overall is in fantastic shape with no rips or tears on the seats. Here are the flaws:
The dash has some cracking due to sun age but it
is easily covered with a cheap dash pad.
The passenger door lock switch does not
work but the lock does, as does the driver power door lock switch. Cruise control is also not working but that is
probably a minor item. The radio is a bit finicky and stops working for
a minute or two from time to time. The new CB is not wired in but it is brand new
and works fine. The seatbelts get stuck a little when pulling
them out. Not a real flaw and normal for
a vehicle of this age but it pisses me off from time to time so I am listing it
under flaws. A/C blows cool but needs a recharge to blow cold. That is the same for both front and rear AC
That is
about it… this is solid, runs great, shifts even better, looks badass, and is
ready for most any scenario you could throw at it. With the recent engine mods, I saw MPG of 13
on the freeway from WA to AZ…not too shabby for a truck this heavy.
Email with
questions….
I am willing
to consider most any trade vehicles, bang-bang, tools and other with cash. There is over 20K in parts and 10k in labor
added onto this truck worth about $3500 stock so please don’t low ball. I don’t need to sell this; I just want some
extra funds for my other projects and am already working on Doomsday Commando
part II.
Pictures show Burb in Yellow and Gray. TV show required yellow paint, it was removed and sprayed light gun metal gray using urethane paint as mentioned above.
I will include a DVD copy of the show if you would like to have it.

Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
