What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."
Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.
Yeah, like, put that shit in the mud where it belongs you giant ass pussy.
I doubt a custom build can manage a decent 6x6 setup, so it's probably terrible offroad.
Plus it would only be good in flat, open spaces, too big and too long of a wheelbase, the breakover angle sucks, and the approach angle does as well with the stupid grille.
It's an interesting build, but it's probably more art than function.
It's on standby for the apocalypse. You don't want to use it up beforehand.
It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.
The rugged individualist of the gated community.
If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.
If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?
The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦
Even better, it’s not even manual, the thing is a fucking automatic
Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses
Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.
And then when a group of anarchists just hose his entire house and car with multiple rusty AKs he'll be looking up from Hell like "HOW DID I LOSE THAT THEY CHEATED". Altho, having that amount of guns and ammo doesn't really indicate gravy seal bullshit, if you go to the range often the ammo literally evaporates super fast. But that truck having no signs of being used off-road does clearly indicate that.
I love seeing trucks and cars that are supposedly for the apocalypse. Do you seriously think we're going to have gas in the apocalypse??? Do you not realize the insane supply chain that needs to exist for you to have gas in your car? You can't store gas, it goes bad pretty dang quick you dumb fuck. What's your plan?
This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.
That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.
I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.
Haven't driven anything made in '82, but I'll maintain that my friend's W124 250D was one of the most comfortable car's I've ever driven. It's the suspension, mostly. Nowadays everything is sporty, but I don't want sporty 90% of the time, I want to not feel bumps and shit.
Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.
Ha, and it's always something that probably gets like 4mpg.
They don't think. They feel. They're little better than toddlers. You wouldn't ask a child how their blanket is going to protect them from ghosts.
Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.
Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.
Every conversation with the owner: "goddamn gas prices! Stupid liberals!"
A very scared man hides in this thing on his way to an unsatisfying job.
You laugh now, but when society collapses they'll be safe for a full hour before they run out of gas. If they can make it into the truck, of course, since it looks too big to fit in their garage.
Must be a hard life to get laughed at everywhere you go 😄
I bet you didn't even notice the lion.
Wow, that took me way too long to find. I thought you meant on the truck. BTW, the logo is dumb af.
Is it a Christmas lion? Such a weird dude.
Just... drive a train at this point. There's nothing more badass than a train.
spoiler
NGL that pic you shared looks bad ass!
Funny thing is, it's definitely real as it's on a public display, but nobody knows who built it and, most importantly, why they built it. There are numerous equally plausible yet contradicting legends, some people tried to investigate but results were inconclusive, possibly because there were multiple built completely independently, or because it was a top secret project and intelligence planted red herrings. Maybe some vodka drinking took place. But, one thing that is common amongst most legends is that it couldn't steer for shit, hence why it was scrapped.
Looks like an armored Rezvani Hercules 6x6.
These are $$$ in general:
But they're also driveable in SnowRunner for much less money.
6 wheels for considerably less than 6"
"They say the bigger your car, the tinier your penis. I have a Mini - that's why I drive a Hummer."
Where are the HOAs when they could actually be useful for a change...
Truck costs more than the house. . and will probably be repo'd within 3 years.
No mud whatsoever. Fucking poser ass coward.
While my little truck is a disgusting mess all the time. Shit in the bed, etc.
It's a truck. It gets the cheap $1 wand wash every 3 months.
Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.
What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you're hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn't big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.
It's even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.
Just stupid.
That kinda looks sick. I love cars that aren't just stock standard stuff.
They need that for the difficult run to Publix obviously.
I'm also curious about WTF is going on on his lawn.
WTF is that wedding arch doing there?
WTF are those giant balls?
WTF is a fake lion doing there?
WTF are the metal looking pipes sticking out of the lawn?
The balls appear to be crimmus ornaments, the pipes look like utility meters.
As for the lion? He doesn't concern himself with the rest of the setup.
This kind of shit is typical in a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods in FL. You'd see Hummers, pseudo-monster trucks, etc sitting in front of dainty houses with highly manicured lawns. All so that they can drive vehicles that are far more likely to kill people.
Its funny because its built to destroy but the owner would likely cry if it was scratched.
Well, at least it's not a cybertruck
Beneath this atrocity is a Ram 1500.
So this truck will last 3 to 4 years tops, probably significantly less so after all the aftermarket work done to it.
oh jesus, The transmission probably fell out in the driveway just from the attention from reddit.
there is really not enough storage space in the back to merrit the 2 extra wheels
Cool truck, but why ??? It doesn't even have the utility that Trucks are usually famous for
