US Army buys $12M worth of 70 series Land Cruisers (1 Viewer)

[lowenbrau]

Even with contractor markup, that has to be at least 100 units.
With a delivery date late in 2017 I guess that bodes well for Toyota not replacing the 70 series before then.

I'd like to have one of those myself

So, the gubmint takes those $$ we send 'em, and buy's trucks we can't buy?
I'd feel better if they were jeeps, at least I wouldn't want them back when they're done with them.

 

[cruiserdan]

Not only are we buying them we are giving them away........

 

[onemanarmy]

Giving them away to people that in turn use them against us or the people we are trying to protect.

 

[sleeoffroad]

Yes, but think on the plus side. More 70 series parts in the US parts system for Cdan.

 

[cruiserdan]

I doubt it. I'll hope however.

Well, it is for a good cause in stopping evil-doers.

There are no evil-doers in the US hence no need for 7x series trucks in the US.

I'm gonna do evil to a 7X, in the US....

As soon as you see a PTO operated turret on a reinforced frame, please order me one up!!

Hate traffic....

[OGBeno]

A lot is available if you are creative at procurement.

Coming from a minimal Pig experience, you're spoiled ass rotten.

A resource for rarities, who tirelessly searched, and found, a few for the 55 endeavor, responded to a recent JZ request

"Yeah, mate. We got 'bout 77 of 'em, and they're buy one get five free, today."

It's a shame that the Mexican Army isn't buying them. It could simply be driven across the Southern border where we obviously don't check anything.

My wife thinks bull bars and snorkels are sexy. A PTO turret would be the deal-closer if she could get one in pink or dusty purple color...must be LHD.

 

[cruiserdan]

Powered-turrets are RHD only. LHD components interfere with the PTO shaft.



Just say'n.
