Although, as mentioned, you wouldn't likely have issues with these parts during an EMP, if you are still worried about it, you could build a faraday cage and keep spare sensors inside it.

Microwave oven.
Id add a layer of aluminum foil around the viewing glass and some metal tape on the vent holes though. The magnetron of a microwave is 2.4ghz/m well above a dispersed EMP blast wavelength. Using the foil creates a barrier capable of resisting up to 300ghz/m.

Archtaan good to know about the EMP and thanks for information. I might just keep stock trans and just build it up. Buy the stand alone computer to run it. I already have the 12V from my 97 Dodge that was totaled out I figured why not do the conversion.

FYI
- Keep your mouth shut, during my career in law enforcement; I made many cases because people talked to friends and relations that they trusted. I have seen brothers roll on brother, wives on husbands. The less people that know your secrets the better.
- Live in a cash world when it comes to prepping. Credit cards and checks can be traced.
- Don’t order from the internet, this can be traced. The company you ordered from always keeps a mailing list and records
- Don’t get preps through the mail. The post office has been known to record the shipping and return addresses.
- Keep your preps out of sight. A friend of mine who is a handyman often sees signs of preps and storage when working on houses.
- Stay off internet prepping sites, including mine. You leave a record everywhere you go.
- If it is legal in your state, avoid registering weapons.
- Be careful where you get rid of your trash. Packaging from preps needs to be thrown away without attracting attention..
- Buy in small quantities, through big box stores, pay cash and avoid attention.
- Watch what you say on the telephone. Remember the NSA is watching you.
- Avoid attracting attention, don’t get involved in politics, or wear tactical clothing.
- If you have already started to prep and have made some of these mistakes, spread the word that you were a fool and have changed your mind and have gotten rid of the junk

I've always thought this would be better than my EX.
Even has a water maker on board.

As we walk the road of preparedness, lets keep these in mind. Murphy is a GOOD FRIEND.
One is NONE, Two is One, remember that.
Enjoy
One is NONE, Two is One, remember that.
Enjoy
- If the enemy is in range, so are you.
- If you can see the enemy, they can see you.
- Incoming fire has the right of way.
- Friendly fire isn't.
- The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
- Don't look conspicuous: it draws fire. This is why aircraft carriers are called bomb magnets. (OKAY I GET IT WERE BIG, JUST DON'T BE FLASHY)
- There is always a way.
- The easy way is always mined.
- Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
- Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
- The enemy only attacks on one of two occasions: When you're ready for them, and when you're not ready for them. (BE READY, skip the LATTE, and buy the ammo)
- Teamwork is essential; it gives the enemy someone else to shoot at.
- If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you.
- If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
- The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
- Don't draw fire, it irritates the people around you.
- When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.
- If it's stupid but works, then it isn't stupid. (KEEP IT SIMPLE)
- When in doubt empty the magazine.
- Never share a fox hole with anyone braver than you.
- Anything you do can get you shot. Including doing nothing. (SO DO SOMETHING)
- Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out.
- Mines are equal opportunity weapons.
- A Purple Heart just proves that were you smart enough to think of a plan, stupid enough to try it, and lucky enough to survive.
- Don't ever be the first, don't ever be the last and don't ever volunteer to do anything.
- The quartermaster has only two sizes: too large and too small.
- Five second fuses only last three seconds.
- It is generally inadvisable to eject directly over the area you just bombed.
- A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
- If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.
- When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
- Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.
- You are not a superman.
- No plan survives the first contact intact.
- If you are forward of your position the artillery will always fall short.
- The important things are always simple.
- The simple things are always hard.
- No combat ready unit ever passed inspection.
- Beer math: two beers times 37 men equal 49 cases.
- Body count math: two guerillas plus one portable plus two pigs equals 37 enemy KIA.
- Things that must be together to work usually can't be shipped together. (SIMPLIFY)
- Radios will fail as soon as you desperately need fire support.
- Tracers work both ways. (SO DOES INFRARED AND RED DOTS)
- If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take.
- When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they are both right.
- If it moves, shoot it.
- If it doesn't move, poke it with your gun barrel and then shoot it again.
- Overkill works.
- Murphy was a grunt.
, but that's what I would do.
