They're 70 series land cruisers. Tough trucks and more are popping up because of the 25 year import rule. I'm counting the year's down when the twin turbo diesel version of that truck becomes legal. :thumbsup:

That is a lot of weight on those trucks. Bet those guns make them very top heavy, easy to turn over. Twin 20 MMs they look like or possibly 40 MM. Betb they weigh in at a ton + ammo/people weight.

Looks like I guessed the weight in the ball park. People and ammo probably adds another 1K pounds. A well placed mine or HE round would tip it over easy. Reading that description seems like the Technical version is an adaptation from the standard issue. Friends who have been in the ME say they are very unstable and see roll overs of them often.

If they hit a mine or IED I'm guessing tipping over would be the least of their problems.
Go fast!

It was discovered that these light vehicles could ride through anti-tank minefields without detonating the mines when driven at speeds over 100 km/h.
