SPARE PARTS stacking for popular make/model vehicles

[Water&Food]

If you are another one of them zombie apocolypse fans out there, and like myself delude self, then you would know the importance of having spare parts for your zombie truck killer.

Here is a run down bots:
- Economies goes to shyt
- Manufacturing goes down the shytter
- Your car and your neighbours car still needs parts
Question: If the part you seek is not found online or offline (such as used preloved parts from wreckers), then where do you get your part from?

You can be ignorant all you want, but be assured if there is an official depression the parts for your car will be hard to find, since people will resort to scraping metal (even if nothing wrong with the part) purely for a few dollars...

As you all observe with some selling antique silver to be scrapped, so will non precious metals

I can give far more examples, but frankly if you are not clued on after reading this brief then you still have much to learn my friend

The Chain reaction trickles down to every corner of the globe

So, what I recommend (even for non investment purposes) is to at least 'stack' known parts for your main get around vehicle that tend to need replacing more so than other parts.

For example,
I will be stacking:
- Power Steering related parts
- All fluids and oils needed for my loved car
- Spark plugs
- Cylinder Heads
- Gaskets
- Alternator
- Distributor
- Starter
- Carb (since I got zombie truck non EFI)
- Leads
- Belts
- Thick gauge wiring that can handle minimum 50amp
- (I already 'stack' batteries at home)
- blah blah blah

Can only imagine what asking price you could get if you were literally the only person in town with spare parts for something like a Hyundai Getz or whatever

YOUR ePINIONS PLEASE

I'm not much of a mechanic but I reckon if you were a tow truck driver with some land you could get great deals on parts vehicles.

Would you mind stacking a few parts for a 2010 Jeep Wrangler? Mine was off the road for over two months waiting for parts and there wasn't a zombie in sight.

Bloody wranglers do gear boxes all the time. I've been collecting cars and parts all my life. 1968 to 1971 are my favourite years and Chryslers are the car for me. Chevy parts seem to accumulate as well. There is most certainly a market for older items.
The newer cars are also a bit harder now to get parts for as the spare part factories are now somewhere in the Pacific Ocean after the tsunami.

well not that you actually saw but you know how sneaky they can be

Sure, having a mechanically sound vehicle is a good idea. How likely are the supplies of fuel gasoline/diesel is to outlast the expected useful life of the parts?

Can you get a spare flux capacitor for my DeLorean?

As above Plus metal can be traded if you really need that car part

Rec a electric push bike would be a better item to stack

plenty of jeeps around West End, Brisbane area... can see them being a popular model to 'stack'

Something sure smelt off!

At least with a diesel you can run it on vegetable oil if it all goes to hell.

Think you might be thinking about Land Rover Discovery or Suzuki Sierras. Both should go forever, Jeeps..... not so much.

Just buy a whole spare car and keep it in the backyard.

Seriously if you think things will get that bad, get a little scooter that uses much less petrol etc.

Push bike?

 

[petey]

Push bike?

Yep, I reckon stacking steel "urban" bicycles and spare parts is a decent idea. Demand is already increasing for these things.

You forgot petrol

 

[spannermonkey]

You forgot petrol

Petrol has a shelf life & doesn't store well for to long 1-3 months & it starts loosing its octane rating

 

[Water&Food]

spannermonkey right petrol sucks i am screwed

 

[Water&Food]

however, i am aiming to stack both diesel and petrol contraptions... betting on both zombie apocalypse and Europa Utopia. got the generators covered, just need to get a diesel 4wd... nissan patrol GQ of course (mix n match parts with petrol excluding engine)

i can assure you all this people, based on insignificant research, I came to the conclusion during my many rants with samboyellowsub that petrol will ALWAYS be available till the majority of vehicles runs on something else, till then 'they' can always create synthetics (if you believe in all that always changing 'peak oil' crap and deny abiotic)...

i am currently working on a pipe dream converting all petrol to run on methane - would never be short on number two supplies there

Bugger stacking car parts....FOOD is what you NEED.

Stacking Japanese car parts might be a good idea considering Fukishima's effect on productivity there.
