See how much more useful a GLX model is ;) You wouldnt be able to do that with a GLXR hard lid :lol: :lol:

I think they need to visit Ultimate suspension though :lol:
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything important, it's too late to stop reading it.

Brendan what would you recommend us guys driving around the suburbs with our rocket lanchers on the back?

Would the comfort ride set-up still suffice ?

I mean just cos I have a rocket lancher attached to the tray doesnt mean I want to sacrifice my ride comfort when im picking up the kids from kinder or grabbing the shopping from Coles.

Probably need 33's and a set of hummer rims I think. Maybe the ltd edition platoon green would have been the colour of choice :lol:

I was thinking a track conversion would be beneficial. It certainly wouldn't get bogged.

I would have liked that option for the preek, who with his lights on full bore, proceeds to throw something at my truck as he went past. Found a milky like mess down the side of the truck and some other blob of unidentifiable stuff.

I think its the L200 version though note the 5 stud wheels and the lower suspension (this may be due to the .50 cal in the back though :lol: )

Haven't seen any bent chassis' on TV stories.

There was a Hilux on the news last night with the paint on the bonnet flapping about like a sheet.

All of them over in this part of the world are really low and really have no ground clearance...I dont know if its just one of the base model type idiosyncracies but I am pretty sure mine was higher when I got it...

And I saw a video of them firing rockets from the back of a Triton on the news over here. I got all excited for a bit because it wasnt a Hilux, smiled to myself and thought of all you guys and girls on this forum...hahaha :lol:

I just got permission to post this one publicly. We fitted a custom suspension kit to this 79 Series Landcruiser which is used as a testing vehicle for machine gun turrets (manufactured locally). This was taken in our Ingleburn workshop but obviously it's not driven on road with the turret assembled. It is pretty awesome though 8-)

I was waiting for that :roll: :lol:

Was definitely one of the more "interesting" vehicles to say I've worked on, that's for sure 8-)

Maybe he thought he needed protection when he found out our workshop was near Macquarie fields.

Does anybody remember this from after the Riots :lol:

Turret is the option we need to get through the Monash Carpark!

The 2013 Model Triton Gun ship should be out now for the Syrian conflict...probably have optional rocket grenade launchers on the bonnet.

The turret offers excellent protection to the user's armpits.

Too bad if the enemy is aiming for the nuts!!
