Labock – Built like a rock

If security and protection is your main concern the next time you’re driving through a potentially explosive laden countryside, Labock Armored Vehicles is the way to go. Never heard of the company?

In November 2004, a convoy of three Rhino Runners was on Route Irish when a suicide bomber drove an explosive-laden BMW between the first and second vehicles. At a distance of two meters from the second Rhino Runner the terrorist detonated more than 250 pounds of explosives creating a crater 6 feet wide and 2 feet deep. There was a dust cloud over 1,000 feet long. #

Can you guess what happened to the passengers? Absolutely nothing but a few sore eardrums. If I had $275,000 to blow, I’d definitely pick one of these up just for kicks. Check out some of the armored vehicles made to look normal.

    Just another armored car? o, no…
    ” multiple discreet gun ports.”
    That had me sold :-)
