An armoured Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series dual-cab ute has been built, thanks, in part, to an Australian engineering company.
British defence and security firm Jankel partnered with Australian Expedition Vehicles (AEV), due to the Queensland company s experience in engineering durable dual-cab LandCruiser pick-ups.
Based in Townsville, Managing Director Michael McMillan has nearly three decades of experience with the Australian Defence Force, leading AEV to develop a militarised versions of the Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series.
The armoured 200 Series was a different project for the company, however, being manufactured in the UK by Jankel for a private customer, with AEV supplying its engineering plans and know-how to ensure the ute conversion could withstand the extra weight of the armour.
