I bet you this would sell like hotcakes here. Legit toyota since it has manufacturer license plates. Check out those wheels and the 8-lug mounts. Def not a hilux frame/axle.

No fighting military vehicle can be locked so they would all need handles replaced.
It's lame, but all I can think of. The sas are based where I live and I get to see some strange vehicles. Saw an awesome lrpv type being tested yesterday, those things are the ultimate mad max machine. 6x6. No identifying manufacturer. Pics need resizing!

Yep as I said they were out in a new one yesterday.
Still the same basic open design though.

Looking at the wheel studs, I reckon that thing is actually a full military armoured vehicle chassis, merely wearing 8 year old Thai hilux panels for whatever reason.

Much more reliable (much heavier door, needs a stronger industrial handle) and easy to replace I guess.

Easier to use those handles with gloves on. Obviously since it's "militarised" some options are made for "combat scenarios".

And probably powered by a 50's 2 stroke diesel for reliability.
