So many of you have at least heard of 'technicals', basically toyota pickup trucks with a machine gun/mortar/recoilless rifle on the back used by in countries too poor to afford real fighting vehicles. Pretend for a second you had some $$$ to design a street legal technical here in the US. What would you build? Some features you'd want, reliability, durability, protection.
Here's something to start with.
toyota tacoma
modestly lifted
beefed up suspension
beefed up brakes
run flat tires
aramid fabric in all the doors
Level IV glass/polycarbonate windows
up-armored engine compartment
ramming grade bumper
armored gas tank.
In the bed of the truck, handles for passengers to grab.
Pintle mounted M82A1 with Aimpoint for close work, and a leupold for long stationary work.
What else does it need?
