    I might want to place a pre-made Toyota emblem on it and recolor it. Is that fine with you? @Pilotmario

    Now that I think about it, I could have mounted the twin 23mm cannon I made for you. @RailfanEthan

    @RailfanEthan Armed trucks are quite common with many non-government armed forces, such as militias, insurgent groups, and private security. They're also used by government forces which lack the money for more potent machines.
