zombie apocalypse / mad max truck, needing ideas 1/10

Chainsaws. Gotta have chainsaws. Vertically mounted lawn mower blades at head height (like propellers up front or along the sides). Spiked steam roller drum up front or a chain drum like the old mine sweeper tanks from WWII. Spiked Hubcaps made out of circular saw blades. Driving green/ tee, patio chairs & umbrella on roof.

How about a functional buzz saw. Should be pretty easy. Get a 4 1/2" blade for a circular saw. Set it up with a sprocket and chain drive (or direct drove off a motor) Heck you could even out a servo arm that moves it up and down

The power company came by with a boom arm circular saw rig based on a skid steer that would be a real Zombie slayer. I second the buzzsaw.

kstowe has it right. This list is the only list you need for a Maaaad Max rig. And buzzsaws. I think that's a great idea too. Can't wait to see what this ends up as.

The difference I see between a Mad Max versus a zombie apocalypse build is how much you feel like cutting up that body. I remember that build, so IMO I wouldn't Mad Max it. Max vehicles are cobbled together from parts of a lot of different vehicles. So for instance you would chop the cab off an old Peterbuilt and graft it on to the mrap chassis. Or the body of a limo in place of the personnel compartment. Weird crap like that. Then you add flamethrowers, machine guns, crossbows and cannons.
Zombie vehicles on the other hand, you basically just beef up the security for the occupants, radiator, and tires. Then you can worry about armaments on a big enough rig like that where the people are relatively high off the ground. Point is, these vehicles still look like their original designs versus Mad Max contraptions.

I agree with jeepy84.
