Exactly what I need for overnighting 👍

[@deekaxel8760]

A wonderful toy for grown up men. And equipped with the machine gun will surely be helpful in case of any trouble.

[@renaissancemarinetv3536]

yes, please!

[@DavidOlver]

i hope the army still has them

[@acersalman8258]

Beautiful trucks ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@vuho7832]

Well equipped for defending oneself against kangaroos...

[@edwardfletcher7790]

You wouldn't stand a chance against Cassowaries tho' ! lol

[@supergeek0177]

desperately needed this instead of those silly G-wagons ... gg

[@PpAirO5]

I would like one of these for camping or/bug out vehicle.

[@alexlanning712]

Just what I need to go glamping

[@user-ex7lx2ez2g]

i love it 👍

[@luisguevara7402]

looks awesome

[@RJM1011]

VERY NICE ! :)

[@bikelifewill6483]

Incredible suspension

[@charliemarkovic4301]

We tried this in the 1990s with the 6x6 Land Rover Infantry Mobility vehicle. When fully loaded for a long range patrol the thing was so heavy the chassis rail would bend.

[@Ltblitzful]

thats why they picked a land cruiser and not a land rover

[@nealhagan4036]

nice.

[@TheHamish757]

So without armor and before the driver or anyone else gets in with any stuff they might want to take. It weighs 4.25 tonnes!! Pretty heavy for a Land Cruiser.

[@gabyherrmann9894]

This is'nt series.

[@Veldtian1]

Nice rigs, not really expecting any return fire though...?

[@michaelb6729]

A more refined Technical ! Mogadishu warlords and central African despots would be in the market ! 😉

[@georgepantazis141]

Coming to the Auctions soon.🇭🇲

[@hggcgfv4734]

تمام 😂👍

[@-KMM-]

Nice

[@paulanthony873]

One day the perentie and the g wagon will grow up and be a Landcruiser, Landcruisers would have made more sense if war broke out, more spares, aftermarket parts and mechanics plus thousands of vehicles you could have commandeered if you needed, typical ADF brass, couldn't buy a kebab without coming back with a bag of dog food.

[@gibsonethirty2836]

actually its bloody easy to beat a toy-ota any day of the week. Why do you think toy-ota hold NO Military contracts with any counties armed forces. The only people that use them in any hostilities are terrorists as a "technical" and that nick name was coined because it was "technically" an armed vehicle (by some simpleton strapping a .50cal on to the tray), not because it was any good, but because it was cheap and nasty (read all its components are made in china), just like toy-ota. And then dumb shmucks swallow down all the marketing hype without checking what it is they are swallowing and then wonder why they have a nasty after taste in their mouth.

[@overnighter]

The "ultimate" camper 😍

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

No armour, no electric turret, no casing collector and low clearance. Not sure who advised you boys on this but deployment experience seems to be by the by. Nice looking rig though.

[@regregan5755]

the current army g-wagon versions don't either so must something in it....

[@gibsonethirty2836]

The G wagon is a far better platform, lighter (all variants), easier to maintain, easier to mod, purpose built by design, not some ad hock nightmare. Hell even the JDF wont touch toy-ota.

[@harveysmith100]

@@gibsonethirty2836 Your wrong again, the Japanese do use Toyota's.

[@gibsonethirty2836]

@@harveysmith100 nope, its either Mitsubishi or Panards or some other foreign make (like Australia) you dumb frak, they stopped using toy otas ages ago because they were JUNK!

[@gibsonethirty2836]

@@harveysmith100 Nope, they use Mitsubishi, Isuzu, Komatsu, and the odd foreign made vehicle (Thales Australia for example). Why, because even the JSDF came to realise that toy otas are CRAP!

JUST A TOYOTA TRYING TO BE A PERENTIE!

DO LAND CRUISER'S HAVE LEAF SPRINGS OR LOVELY COILS. LOL.

[@Riley180sx]

james punch can be configured to have either

[@carholic-sz3qv]

do you even know that the land cruiser is the most succesfull most sold most used vehicle of any of these 3 vehicles?! even terrorists uses them you cant even start a comparaison between tke land cruiser and the gwagen or a land rover . it makes no sense

what/who were these for?

[@lachlanchester6323]

these would be for the NORforce

[@difficultinterest1582]

Regional Force Surveillance Units

[@gibsonethirty2836]

actually no one, because no military wants them.

[@PhilTaylorPhotog]

GVM upgrade anyone?

[@thefuck7175]

Aussie half track

[@sIurz]

Isn’t even a half track

[@whyalwaysme2522]

Toyota Land Cruiser... the Lord!

[@jelmwinter6440]

Toyota's are not made for very heavy duties ! G-wagen or Unimog the way to go ! Look around the worlds military army's !

[@Ltblitzful]

which one because a good number of them use land cruisers in some capacity? while very few use the g-wagen and the unimog is a much larger vehicle not meant for the same purpose.

[@overnighter]

No kangaroo can survive these beasts 🙄

[@r.giovannosdn]

Toyota?
