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

so few years ago I built this awesome 1/10 scale military MRAP a.k.a
bone crusher . it frickin huge, r/c, lights , sounds etc
anyway, I want to make some changes to make it look a zombie killer,
ii will have a dual plow on it, but I need some crazy ideas, I don't think my ideas are crazy enough so I need everybodys help. I will take of the boom as its static anyway and im changing tires and rims, maybe adding clod tires and rims, so please , get involve with me on this, lets go crazy

Wasn't a kit, he built it all from scratch, you oughta see some of his other truck builds.

I think if you add Clod rims and tires Joe, you might have to lose one of the rear axles, or lengthen it a tad to run 3 axles.

I wouldn't do the clod rims to wide don't think it would look right on that rig.

wanted to say guys , you are posting a lot of great ideas, and I thank you. keep them coming though
I founds some rims that fit the project, took the boom off, going to be adding some sort of plow instead. the front of the truck will be heavier so I need to beef it up more
so its time to take it apart. :(

Hmmm, plow, A BIG Honkin' V-plow would look great on that!

Far be it for me to remind you of this, but lettin' the zombies drive, as in post #14, would be a baaaaaaaaaad idea,

When you said Clod tires, I thought you meant the big chevron Monster Truck tires

Let me start by saying I loved watching you build the Buffalo, the attention to detail and quality of work is incredible! If you're still looking for ideas google image search "mad max vehicles." a lot of results like this



Otherwise Suggestions I have would be to make it look like it was abandoned for a while, run over and then found.

Other ideas

-bars instead of windows
-blood?
-rust?
-a lot of firepower
-spikes everywhere?
