It's not just another pickup with a twinn gun! LOL! it's the Holy Grail of Technicals! it's a Land Cruiser with a ZS-23/2 also the Holy Grail of Smaller A.A. Guns!
I have been wanting this truck for a long time and the gun even longer.
Have a great day!

I'll second that!
The BIGGEST news from Nurnberg 2013 were also the smallest of them all.

I'm sure we'll see some AM manufacturer release a PE fret with the word "TOYOTA" on it.. or at least the letters that make it up.

What do you all mean? What is so "hot" about this Technical in that where and when was it used in? It looks great and cool, but I know next to zero about it.
Is it a Technical, or has it been used by Special Forces, Third World militaries, or official Government Forces?

Thank my brother for the help! I think that all I need would be the logo; so I will have to dig up the first set or just the logo and I will cast it in resin.
Thanks once again.

Right, it's the ET Models 35154 set I got. Same as the Voyager but cheaper.
Here's a clos-up of my set:
Most of the PE is for the mount for the UB-32-57, but just the logo makes it worth the 9 USD.
Cheers,
