Marques Bigboi JohnsonNov 30, 2011 You can't copyright public it's everywhere go back to school kid.
Antonio FalsettiNov 30, 2011 News is news. Channel 2 news shows the same news as channel 4, 5, 7, 9 and even newspapers and online news sites. What's your point?
Joel HayesNov 30, 2011 Isnt it amazing that top gear magazine also had an article on this?
Greg LewisDec 02, 2011 ..... Till the poorly welded frame gives out! :)
Wissam NasrDec 01, 2011 This can be a new Toyota. They are still being made. U can buy them still in the middle east. They look exactly like this one
Patrick SchalkDec 01, 2011 Oh the paintball gun was just a diversion and something for me to laugh at and make these guys look dumb. They didn't know I had a sniper about 300 yards away with a bead on them.
Jason DannheimDec 01, 2011 I love how casually dressed the one fella is, aside from the serial killer ski mask.
Payne Hodges WilsonDec 01, 2011 @patrick the fact that you used a paintball gun as your weapon of choice makes me think that you could not In fact run circles around these guys
Mohammed AlsalmiNov 30, 2011 This is actually a 2010 model , we have this in middle east and they are called the land cruiser pickup
Anthony CordialeNov 30, 2011 At least the truck is in good shape so it can pass inspection
Adam SampsonNov 30, 2011 79 series landcruiser for the win!
Alexis SuarezNov 30, 2011 No one can ever kill a Toyota (:
Hendrik ReimerNov 30, 2011 Well... They freed their country with those guns and trucks. Try this wherever u life.
One word in advance: fail ;)
Reid HuffNov 30, 2011 Well the gun is anti air and that's probably as far down as it can go so yes I think somebody in a Nissan micra could even do it or a bicycle.
Patrick SchalkNov 30, 2011 I bet I could literally run circles around this truck while shooting these guys with a paintball gun and they would never get a lock on me with that gun.

The LC trucks is the Heviest Duty 4x4 pickup trucks ever made.
Patrick SchalkDec 05, 2011 Dude you gotta use some punctuation or something. I can't understand ANYTHING you're saying.
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 But this dude really does have freakishly long legs he doesn't even look real
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 And have u ever heard of bombing a building with civilians protesting the airstrikes standing within 100 yards of it
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 It's like u don't realize that if America didn't want France and the uk to supply weapons they wouldnt have the us government was pushing to get rid of gadhafi
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 ... I never said the US do u haters can stop jumping on me
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 My point... You can't just go in and get rid of a world leader because u disagree... And by we I mean the west that controls the world
Brahim GudahDec 03, 2011 Wanted him out because he disagreed with the fact that in the un a minority of European countiries and the us control everything and make the rules u guys gotta read up a bit gadhafi wasn't a bad person he did what he had to do
Mike ConradDec 02, 2011 Jar-Jar Binks on the back of that.
Greg LewisDec 02, 2011 Is that a comforter in the bed? For when grasshopper gets cold at night?
Clay HigdonNov 30, 2011 That dudes legs are freaking me out.
Hendrik ReimerNov 30, 2011 @ brahim. Ever thought of war reporters?
And no, I don't think it was "f**ked up"...
Vincent ButlerNov 30, 2011 Lmfao Patrick. A "Grasshopper". Omg im about to Die. Hahahhahahaha
Thibault LeroyNov 30, 2011 yea the US dident supply anything it was France and UK mostly
Anthony NoonNov 30, 2011 That guy is frail! Harded to get shot I guess
Ken MadisonNov 30, 2011 We didn't supply them anything in terms of small arms. That was all EU countries. The FAL was a western European gun that was used mainly by Europeans until they sold of their surplus.
Buddy RobinsonNov 30, 2011 Yea that truck looks like its in great condition...
Patrick SchalkNov 30, 2011 That dude is skinny! Look at his legs. Looks like a damn grasshopper in the back of the truck.
Abdulnasir AlMassloomNov 30, 2011 Guy in the mask reminds me of the cover of Borderlands

Ahmed Ben-GhuzziAug 01, 2012 @Duncan Gibson , it is true ya dude, not a video game lol. you can go to libya yourself and see plenty stuff everywhere , the huge artillery here on this truck was used on hilocapters and mirage fighters , the fighters modified them to be used on trucks like these
Duncan GibsonDec 03, 2011 This must be from a video game.
Sebastian GreyDec 01, 2011 This is the best picture ever.
Patrick SchalkDec 01, 2011 I really do think he's wearing a pirate hat from Joes Crab Shack. Peace Love Crabs. That's what my girlfriend says anyway. Her and her crabs (scratches groin)
Andrew MullinDec 01, 2011 Somehow i dont think that came standard
Jason DannheimDec 01, 2011 Geez, must be just as scary to fire some of those unguided rockets as it is to be fired on.
Kris FavoleNov 30, 2011 Yep. Better to have it break beyond repair just the one time.. Then it becomes a emplaced weapon!
Antonio FalsettiNov 30, 2011 They chose the Ram over the Ford because when you're in the middle of a war zone in the middle of the desert the last thing you need is a truck breaking down everyday.
Bryan Wesly PascualNov 30, 2011 Good thing an F-150 isn't used. Too powerful for them
Christopher MurphyNov 30, 2011 lmfao i think it is a pirate hat! hes even got the captain morgan pose xD
Alex Slo-Mo MillerNov 30, 2011 Is it just me or is the guy in the bed look like he's wearing a pirate hat? Oh and yeah don't mess with that truck.
Jesse DemasiNov 30, 2011 I'd be so scared to see some guy driving down the street with that, it would obliterate almost anything in its way
Stephen CobbsNov 30, 2011 Jeez that is some insane firepower.

Sebastian GreyDec 01, 2011 Someone needs to put a gun in the back of the Indestructible Toyota Hilux. First rebellion to do that will win every battle they ever fight!
Jason DannheimDec 01, 2011 I can't believe the truck doesn't just flip backwards when that thing goes off. Nothing on Toyota, it just seems probable.
Anthony NoonDec 01, 2011 You don't have to have a $75k budget. At least upgrade the suspension. Even if you weld in blocks in the springs. It has to help with accuracy too. I'm sure that gun has some kick.
Clay HigdonNov 30, 2011 I wanna see this thing fire.
Antonio FalsettiNov 30, 2011 They flip a coin to see who drives the truck and who drives the gun.
Shane JansenNov 30, 2011 Yeah anthony cuz these guys have $75000 budget.... lol but wow that's a big gun for that truck
Anthony NoonNov 30, 2011 Small bed and lacking rear suspension, Poor choice.
Mario CallirgosDec 02, 2011 I am proud that I have those rights, and live in a country that I don't have to overthrow : ). Guns don't kill people, beasts with guns kill people.
Patrick SchalkDec 02, 2011 Yeah Kex, cause that happens so often. Every weekend my neighborhood has a private war to see who can kill each other. That point is retarded.
KeX LimDec 02, 2011 And it always amuses me that there are Americans who are so proud of the fact that their neighbour can load up with enough weapons to massacre everyone in the neighbourhood in 5 minutes. How is that ever a good thing?
KeX LimDec 02, 2011 @Mario. The point I'm making (which you have missed completely) is that the Libyans are not rich. Is it any surprise that the Libyans are not well-armed?
Mario CallirgosDec 02, 2011 It kinda does kex. I live in Cali so ya I am not armed as these guys but if I lived in Nevada I could potentially buy the latest military rifle as long as it is semiautomatic AK-47 to the FN2000 Same with pistols I THINK that was the point
Ken MadisonDec 01, 2011 No shit we have the most advanced military. I was saying our citizens are armed better than most of these countries armies.
Ken MadisonDec 01, 2011 Kex you have a real history of not being able to read. I said the PEOPLE. That means citizens taking advantage of the second amendment you moron.
Miguel BlancoNov 30, 2011 @Ken Regard less of the age, guns kill, and I an pretty sure that WW2 guns can kill you
Tyson BroadbentNov 30, 2011 Best one of the bunch, this is wicked!
Hendrik ReimerNov 30, 2011 @ ken: why don't u try to take down your government? Bet u wouldn't stand a chance as a civilian vs the army... Nice job they did!!!
KeX LimNov 30, 2011 Just shut the hell up, Ken. How much does the US spend on each soldier? And how much do the Libyan rebels have? Is it any surprise that US troops are better armed, you ignorant fool?
Shane JansenNov 30, 2011 Haha anthony it actuallydoest look bad
Ken MadisonNov 30, 2011 What a miserable group of people. Old surplus Russian junk. A DP28 from around WWII?
Look around, the American people are armed better than most other countries militaries when it comes to small arms...
