I want one.
If you really study the picture that thing is custom, custom, custom. The shovels imbedded in the hood is awsome. I would think that with all the mods they could have build a bracket to hold the ammo cans properly on the passenger running board. Ammo is not something that you want falling out.

cool rig! funny how the tires are not very military though.
I cannot move it over. I could ask though from the mod there.
But these are not very tech in nature......... just very cool pictures.
I'll go looking for that other one,
Someone had a lot of fun making a custom "Army" truck.
Not much use other than as a show toy, IMHO.

What do you classify as a real army truck? Its very similar to the SAS long range reconnaissance landrovers.
I think countries that have long desert borders would find it very useful.
Of course not all countries have tanks or guided missiles and something like the 79 series would still be a formidable weapon for border raids and suppressing rebels.
Those tyres are ideal sand tyres,Ive been using them myself in very sandy areas for 4 years and unless I upgrade to a specialist sand tyre there is nothing better.
Military lugs with stiff walls get stuck in soft sand real quick
Looking at it ,the only thing I would change would be the outside storage of the ammo boxes and some shade for the crew.
Which would you prefer to drive in a hostile situation?

Actually this one on the pic above is a showcar.
But take a look on the manufacturers page http://www.jankel.com/ - here you can see a more practical version of the truck (Al-Thalab) with less design-elements.
Also take a look at the amoured Toyota-Section, espacially the 78 ISV!

Yah if this one stays a 70 series military cruiser why not here.
The other one isn't much of a thread anymore and it was not very 70 section appropriate IMOP. but of the pics in there you like of 70 series maybe you could cut and paste them in here.

Why not we make this thread the dedicated 70 series miltary thread in here?

that is BADASS! they did an awsome job on it!!!
A lot of the 75's caracter is taken away.Practicallity won!Still a nice build!
Your basic Warlord's dream truck. Very popular design in Afganistan.
Here is some info about the Al-Thalab on the photos abowe from www.special-operations-technology.com:
U.K. manufacturer Jankel Armoring is building the Al-Thalab Long Range Patrol Vehicle (LRPV), which is manufactured in partnership with the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) of Jordan. The partnership dates back to 1999, said Lorne Stoddart, Jankel sales and marketing manager.
“KADDB was developing an armored troop carrier for internal requirements based on the Ford F-450 and, in line with KADDB policy, looked to established defense manufacturers for potential teaming agreements,” Stoddart explained. “We were supplying similar vehicles based on Chevrolet and Ford trucks and there was an obvious synergy.”
After production of the Al-Jawad armored troop carrier, Jankel and KADDB formed the Jordan Light Vehicle Manufacturing LLC in 2003, Stoddart added. The company’s production facilities took over production of the Al-Jawad and armored 105 and 78 series Toyota Land Cruisers, transferring them from Jankel’s U.K. facilities. “Production of Al-Thalab began in June 2005 in the U.K. to fulfill orders from African and European customers,” Stoddart said. “It is intended that production will continue in the U.K. to cater for specialist versions of Al-Thalab.”
Transfer of the production of the Al-Thalab to Jordan for the Jordanian Armed Forces is expected to occur throughout 2006, he added, with the first vehicles expected to be complete in the third quarter.
The Al-Thalab was developed for operations in desert and mountainous environments, but it is also suited for urban operations. The vehicle’s primary role in urban operations is to provide access into the upper levels of tall buildings for troops by using urban combat access systems. The LRPV is designed to carry a driver, a team commander and two crewmembers.
The Al-Thalab has a payload of about 1,700 kilograms (kg) and includes ammunition and equipment lockers. It can travel about 1,500 kilometers (km) without resupply and can move relatively quickly over challenging terrain. The vehicle is designed for operations at high altitudes and at -15 to 55 degrees Celsius at a relative humidity of 90 percent.
Noting the simplicity of its mechanical design and its standard Toyota components, the LPRV is relatively easy to repair and maintain. The vehicle is based on a Toyota 1979 4x4 chassis, used in the Toyota Land Cruiser pickup, with a six-cylinder turbocharged engine and a five-speed manual transmission.
The Al-Thalab has both front and rear weapons mounts. The rear weapon ring platform carries the main armament, which could include up to a 12.7 mm machine gun or 30 mm automatic grenade launcher. The front weapon mount, in the form of a swing-arm, could carry a 7.62 mm machine gun.
“The joint venture in Jordan has considerable resources at its disposal and as such offers the customer well-engineered vehicles, tailored to their needs, on a cost-effective basis with rapid rates of delivery,” Stoddart said.
