Yeah probably old hat. But, I've poked around and can't find a post-apoc RPG that meets my tastes. All heavily pull inspiration, but none mate an RPG with a heavy-duty (yet somewhat abstracted for ease of play) vehicular combat & customization system.
I'm poring over working a hardcore MM mashup homebrew. So far I've settled on using BRP/CoC 7.0 (I know, I know, but fuck d20 systems are getting stale to me) for the RPG side, and have a fair amount of legwork done to place a campaign in any of the four film settings.
But the vehicular combat is escaping me. Car Wars seemed like a great place to go, but it's waaaay too crunchy and (duh) a game unto its own, which may be much for a general mix between casual and M A X crunch. That and working the RPG skills into the actual vehicle stuff itself.
If it's been done, I wouldn't mind being pointed in the right direction, most stuff led me to some Savage World settings/conversions (like Broken Earth), Atomic Highway (obviously inspired, but not *set* and the vehicle combat is way too abstracted).
We all know that Miller's films are about epic ass Road Wars and shit, mixed with some wheeling and dealing, adventure, etc. to get what you need. That's the shit I want to replicate.

Bump for curiosity.

Thus far I've messed around with char gen as that would be easiest and give me some work that would keep me going and a base from which to work the RPG side of the house with whatever vehicle thing I end up using/come up with:

Right?
It's not like you can reconcile the systems together, but it'd be a bunch of work and at the end: would people really want to play it?

There's always GURPS, which could be as crunchy as you like.
Or you can try FATE, which is very narrative and cinematic, but requires creativity.

Savage Worlds

Really was my tied-system for the whole thing. I'll re-assess.

I think they're less cruchy than car wars, but still might be too far that way, but have you taken a look at older GW stuff like Gorkamorka or Necromunda's Ash Nomad vehicle gangs?
Also not sure about This Is Not A Test, but it might have rules for vees. Sounds like you're looking for that sweet spot that meshes rpg/campaign play and wargame, so /awg/ might have some ideas.

This might be worth a look. I'm a little unclear on exactly what you're hoping to find, but it seems to be a moderately crunchy vehicle combat/racing minigame.

After spending a hot minute flipping through books, it looks like Savage Worlds may make this work. I'll keep interested parties appraised as I work through the initial bits and then push on into the nitty gritty detailed bits.
The thought occurred to me that it'd be easiest to just set the setting during Fury Road's time (allegedly ~10ish years after MM3), but I'm a megafan of the whole saga, so I want to do the groundwork to enable peeps to set shit up during any of the films.
(DESU MM1 would be like a "Savage Worlds: Modern" campaign as The Fall has yet to actually occur and fully occurs btw MM1 and MM2)
