Survival Vehicles. Another 4x4.






We have added another 4x4 truck to our family vehicles. This one is a Triton diesel single cab tray back. It has wide wheels, bull bar, tow bar, light bar, racks, & a long range fuel tank. Today I secured my high lift/Wallaby jack to the back of the cab & I secured the winch cable on the opposite side. The winch is in the truck tool box on the side along with a tool bag, wedges for wood cutting & an axle stand.

Our Family's Bug Out Vehicles.

I have been without a vehicle of my own for some time now, this was not good because it meant that when I was alone at home I had no transport in case of fire or accident. The X-Trail SUV we had we sold to one of our 3 sons. My Volvo wagon I gave to another son. My Youngest son bought a Triton Dual Cab Diesel 4WD with a drop side tray.
We replaced the X-Trail with a Hilux Dual Cab Diesel 4WD with a hard canopy. I just bought myself a Triton Dual Cab 4WD Diesel ute, and I am very pleased with it so far. We also have a property vehicle, a 4WD Lada, which we use only on the property for transporting fire wood and generally getting about, mending fences.

Our indestructible go anywhere Lada.

We can just fit the whole family in the Hilux and the two Tritons, plus of course all our gear should we have to abandon our home in the forest. I don't see that happening, but it is nice to know that we have reliable 4WDs just in case.
