Upgrades you can consider for your Bug Out Vehicle.

NR,

Bull bars:
Please don't post articles that are US centric in the UK unless the facts carry over.
It is illegal to fit bull bars to vehicles in the UK. Bull bars were invented to protect Australia vehicles from bull kangaroos. They greatly increase the probability of killing a pedestrian should you hit one. Since Bull kangaroos aren't a big problem in the UK they were made illegal. (existing bull bars were grandfathered in but new ones are illegal)

Roof tent:
Most UK cars do not have sufficient weight capacity to use a roof tent. Please check the maximum loading of your roof before considering overloading it with people (or things). It would be unfortunate to crush your car roof on the first night of bugging out!

Essential extras:
Few of these are essential for the vehicle (Extra fuel, extra coolant and maps) the rest are not related to the vehicle (which is the point of the thread).
