As
most of you know, nomads are a bit
eccentric. This is doubly so
when it comes to modifying and customizing their
vehicles.
Here
at Wandering Joe's we do our best to facilitate
such requests.
While we can never be prepared for anything, and
we have had some truly
odd and unique requests, we have been able to give
a basic price list
of the modifications we perform on a more common
basis.
Trailer Hitch - 20eb (allows your vehicle to tow a trailer)
Spikes - 10 eb apiece (solid steel pikes, mostly cosmetic, though they are useful to keep vehicles and people away, add 5 points of damage in collision)
Chain Link - 1eb sq. ft. (often used to replace windshields or attached to body as an easy cargo foundation)
Barbed Wire - 1eb per 5 feet (often used in strategic places to keep raiders from jumping on your vehicle)
Hydraulics - 200eb (popular among low-rider enthusiasts)
Wheel Covers - 25-200eb (covers for the real wheels to make them harder to shoot out, price ranges from steel plating to custom built and molded to match your car sp:15)
Plate Steel Armor - 25eb sq.ft. (simple plate steel welded or hinged to your vehicle for added protection, often used to cover windows SP:20 to specific location)
High Power Lamps - 30eb per lamp (the extremely bright lights you see mounted to the roll bars of trucks)
Ramming Bar - 100eb (really just an oversized reinforced bumper, it helps minimize damage to your vehicle if you hit something)
Plow - 2000eb (attached to the front of a vehicle, it allows you to use you vehicle to clear snow from the road, hydraulically raises and lowers for times when its not needed, can be used as a cow catcher)
Cow Catcher - 600eb (like a monster crash bar, it juts from the front of your vehicle in a v-shape to push obstacles out of the way)
Search Light - 50eb (like you see on any police vehicle, this provides high power illumination in any direction)
Nitrous Oxide Injection - 350eb (gives a 30% boost, rounding down, to speed and acceleration of a vehicle for 5 seconds, usable once, then tanks must be refilled. Multiple tanks can be installed, and used one at a time. This mod is slightly dangerous, any damage that penetrates the area nitrous is stored has a 25% chance of causing the tank to explode for 4d10 exp damage. Can only be used for high performance vehicles)
Supercharger - 3000eb (can be added to virtually any vehicle and adds 25% to the vehicles top speed and acceleration, extended use damages the engine, for every 10 seconds used there is a 10% chance of engine failure)
Roll Bar/Cage - 1000eb (reinforces your vehicle to prevent you from being crushed in the event of a roll over)
Armor Shutters - 200eb (used to cover flat windows, they retract when not in use. SP:10)
Winch - 350eb (usually added to the front of the vehicle, these motor driven winches have 50 meters of cable)
Monster Truck Package - 15,000eb (can be used on virtually any 4 wheeled vehicle, it adds a giant tires and suspension, giving your vehicle massive off-road capability and ground clearance, also makes your vehicle extremely top heavy and prone to roll overs giving a -2 to the vehicles maneuverability)
Bladed / Sythe wheel covers - 20 eb per wheel (perfect for slicing the tires of other vehicles, or destroying their side paneling, and god help anyone who gets caught in them.)
Retractable tyre slashers - 200 eb per wheel (Do the same thing as the bladed wheel cover, but they retract for conceilability)
Retractable rear bullet proof screen - 600eb (an SP:20 sheet of steel plate is hidden below the back window, and raises and lowers for those times you need that extra protection)
Ejector seat - 14,000eb (Either a last ditch escape plan, or a not so friendly way to get rid of unwanted passengers, roof panel jettisoned just before the seat is fired)
Oil slick ejector - 50eb (Create a little road hazard for pursuers, Diff + 15 hazard for a 10 meter spread)
Caltrops - 80eb (A bit more agdressive a diversion, Diff +20 to avoid, failed roll means 1d4 tires take immediate 20 points damage)
Smoke Screen - 150eb ( Obscure the vision of pursuers, Diff +12 hazard)
Revolving number plates - 400eb (your liscence plates flip at the touch of a switch for when you ahve to make a clean getaway, not much good to most nomads, but handy for everyone else who runs on the other side of the law)
Concealed Weapon Holsters - 10 - 100eb depending on concealability (nomads love stashing holdouts all over their vehicles, from Machetes under the hood, to handguns in the seat cushions.)
Spiked Tires - 300eb (these tires give a +4 to maneuvering and control rolls on ice, for an additional 600eb they can be made retractable)
Glove box security compartment with fingerprint lock - 200eb (a little hightech, and expensive for most Nomads, its still useful if you have to keep something valuable safe, 5 inch wide, by 2 inches deep, lock is Diff 25)
Self-sealing and re-inflating tires - 500eb per tire (While most nomads would love these, few can afford it)
A cable cutting device - 100eb (Wires, ropes cables, and fencing are all encountered as obstacles by nomads, now you can take care of the problem without leaving your car, assuming the cable is accessable by the cutter)
Panoramic Telescopes - 200eb (Some nomads have there vehicles so covered in armor plating that this is the only way they can get a good look at whats going on around them)
