Yahoo Autos Inkas' armored 70 Series Toyota Land Cruiser screams 'Sicario 3'
Why would you need an "expedition-spec" J76 Toyota Land Cruiser armored enough to repel small-arms fire and hand grenades? Just because. That's all the reason you need. And Canada's Inkas is happy to answer that need with this, a 2023 70 Series Land Cruiser, specifically, the J76. It's "designed to be a reliable bulletproof SUV for various operations," where "various" definitely means more life-threatening and perhaps more jungle-y than the average trip to The Great Barrier Reef. The armor bits start with BR6-level plating that surrounds the entire passenger cell with ballistic steel at a minimum thickness of 0.3 inches, plus armored skid plating that doubles as a blast shield.
The multi-layer bullet-resistant glass is also rated to deflect rounds like 7.62mm NATO, .223/5.56, and .308. Vital components get their own measures, like the module protecting the battery and engine ECM. The extra weight means detail work like reinforced door hinges, and a high-clearance suspension with uprated coil and leaf springs. Naturally, run-flat tires keep the show moving under fire. All of this will be handy seeing as this J76 wouldn't be the least bit swift. The 4.5-liter V8 turbodiesel makes 202 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque in standard form to move 4,993 pounds before armoring. Endurance is another matter, the stock truck claimed to go more than 750 miles on a tank of fuel.
