My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
I've made a video of my Storm Chasing/Skywarn Spotting Vehicle. I hope you find it informative:
Enjoy!

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
Nice ride!! Mine's an '07 Chevy Avalanche LTZ. I still need to lift it a bit, and put on a bull bar with fog lights.... if I ever find the time...

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
Sounds cool. I'm open for video responses to my Storm Chase Vehicle on YouTube, should you ever make a video of it.

It's just my daily driver that I -use- for chasing. No radio antenna, no warning/hazard lights, etc. Just a plain truck.

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
Mine's not dedicated to storm chasing either. I also take it on Road Trips around the country. Of course, I usually plan my road trips around severe weather potential. I've always wanted to "experience" a CAT 5 Hurricane (inland away from the storm surge). I also take it out in severe Winter Storms and Blizzards. I pretty much like all kinds of storms, but my personal favorite are Derechos.

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
Yah mine's pretty much a stock Avalanche. Great fun in heavy snow, but I just got it last fall so it hasn't lost its storm virginity yet
 Hopefully soon if this dull weather would end!

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
I aquired a 2003 dodge ram 2500 2wd single cab earlier this year. would have been nice to have a 4x4 but i got it dirt cheap so im making due. it needs some work before its ready but it will be my chase vehicle when its finished. At least the engine and drivetrain is rock solid.

Re: My Storm Chasing/Spotting Vehicle
No video, don't have a permanent vehicle for the chase just use my Jeep, or enough "stuff" to make a video worthwhile
But I just assembled a blog post about my little storm kit box Apparently as long as I have it with me, storms seem to be going out of their way to avoid me.
