I can't believe I'm watching Doug explaining the concept of overlapping - which he genuinely seems to have discovered for himself whilst making this video.
Alpine Armoring: Check out our Battle Lock! Lock Picking Lawyer: This is the Lock Picking Lawyer and today I'll be breaking into the Cuda with a cordless drill while taking live fire.
21:50 I love how in most cars, Doug would probably say "...so you don't _hit_ anything" but in this case--for obvious reasons--it's "so you don't _crush_ anything."
That “Light” sticker in the interior being crooked and then just exacto knifed cut out (scratching the black) would drive me crazy every day looking at that
for that price it's nothing to have those panels sent out for engraving and painting. I've done emergency vehicle outfitting and the electrics in these vehicles are usually done by old dog mechanics and therefore terrible.
I doubt anyone cares about stickers when they're going to raid a methlab. This is a armored vehicle for law enforcement or whatever, not a luxury vehicle.
20:24 The off-center "Lights" label has me unreasonably furious. You put all this work into armoring a car, charge $185k, and you can't get a label centered?
I see a lot of ways to get stuck in your CUDA. The hinges should be internal, there should be multiple air intakes and radiators in different locations and there should be a full armored panel underneath that covers the axels and drive line. Just my opinion. Nice rig though.
Well, this vehicle is probably not a mrap which should be used in combat area. It seems more suitable for sort of police operations, give a protection against stones and light firearms, not land mines
@@KangoV Well it's a SWAT patrol vehicle, not an MRAP or full on APC. It's meant to handle criminal level weaponry, not enemy military AT weaponry. Since if they have say 10 kg AT Mine to blow out the non V bottom hull, they also have RPG-7 or M73 LAW and it will just cut through even the thickest of the side plates on that thing. The below plate will probably handle what it is meant for: Which is number 1: someone molotov fireballing under it. Number 2: someones home made pipebomb aka small IED, thrown under or driven over. 3: criminals have managed to get their hands on stolen military hand grenades. It's light armored patrol vehicle. Not a tank, not even a full on APC. If the criminals have scored a stolen AT launcher for themselves, well better get the bazooka guy before they get anything police would have. At that point call national guard with actual medium or heavy armored assets.
The only issue I see is if this vehicle gets barricaded in and the target has been properly tracked then someone would be prepared with an impact gun and a 12mm socket and just remove the captive nuts and boom in they go
I was a gunner in Afghanistan for 9 months. I was a CROWS gunner (MRAP) for the last half. I was in ASVs also and I drove them both too. I am all too familiar with these types of vehicles. The doors are air controlled on the rear of MRAPS and once you push that button you need to be clear of the door motion. You can operate them manually too but they are heavy. We would drift MRAPS through the deepest mud, accelerating sideways through the ruts and you couldn’t stop them. Off-roading in an ASV is actually even better. We would stagger them, CROWS MRAP out front, ASV, then MRAP then ASV. 11B
@@vadim7590 no, because the local sheriffs department has two already and if there is even a medium sized city, they have two as well. So locally everyone has 2-4 vehicles like this near them with a tactical unit anyway.
An odd quirk of the current 70 series is its different track, front and back. Toyota widened the front to accommodate the V8, but leftnthe rear axle narrow. It's usually the first thing to 'fix' when modified, often combined with a GVM upgrade. Curious that hasn't been done on this one.
The Cuda is so safe and secure, that you can unscrew the door hinges like a Jeep and capture or harm the occupants in about 5 minutes. That's impressive!
As an actual engineer in the auto industry I cringe every time I see one of these meat-head "security" companies pop-up with armored vehicles. It's always the same story, barely literate ex-army/LEO grunts with vague understanding of vehicle components thinking they can "build" an armored vehicle the same way they installed lift-kits in their trucks. A complete engineering disaster.
Your insecurities are showing big time. I wouldn't post something to sound so weak, and you're proud of it. You clearly have a anti military position. Probably a beta Male who thinks brains make up for being an all round alpha Male. Note, I'm bringing the same brash childish energy you brought that makes any sound person doubt that you're an engineer. That your opinion is worth anything. Because you're unable to Express your opinion in any way without sounding like a raging child.. wait, so you must actually be an engineer.
I love how it is armored, yet leaves all screws open to outside. You manage to stop this vehicle and cannot get inside? easy, just unscrew the windows from outside.
@@Benzinilinguine Learn the difference between just metal and steel. High powered rifles could wear those hinges out depending on how they're heat treated and such. Which I'm sure means nothing to you or you wouldn't call hardened steel metal.
I’m sure you have time to pull out your ratchet and take out a dozen heavy duty bolts. And as soon as you get the window off the armed guy inside shoots you in the face.
This is the sort of vehicle the cops could approach a situation in, then sit outside for an hour as kids are killed before going in, then blaming it on the vehicle
Doug : “If the vehicle is disabled, it will keep people safe so they can be rescued later.“ Attacker : pulls out battery power torque wrench and unscrews the front window in about two minutes. Or door in about 30 seconds. So surprising that the removable fasteners are on the outside of the vehicle? To work, this vehicle must escape and get out of harms way so it does not dwell in a risk area.
Something tells me it takes a lot more than those nuts on the outside to remove them. Especially considering how small they are vs. how heavy/ massive that window is. Ditto for the hinges. If you look, you can see that the hinges are welded onto the door/ body. So I'm not even sure the point of the bolts.
" this vehicle must escape" nah, this vehicle have this special angled hole betwen the tire and armored body where you can put some rock or a brick and avoid the risk of runing awey from a guy with basic tools that you can use to get into the car... LoL
I really like it when Doug finds these ultra quirky custom vehicles, and reviews them. I think this thing is super cool, and can understand why Doug likes it too. Plus he gets to vicariously review a Land Cruiser that he otherwise probably could not find in the US. Everyone wins, in this exchange. We get purpose built quirky and strange vehicles reviewed, and Doug gets to have fun doing not only that, but also getting a look at a vehicle he does not get to see often. I especially appreciated the backstory as to how this armoring company got ahold of this, and how silly the whole thing seems as to the reason why Land Cruisers are no longer in the US.
People are commenting like this vehicle needs to survive anti tank mines and being surrounded by enemy soldiers for notable periods of time while stationary. It’s not a MRAP lol
23:48 lmao i would absolutely hate if hundreds of armoured vehicles fell into the wrong hands. Im glad our government would never allow its enemies to easily get military weapons, NVGs, and armour
Anyone else concerned that the doors could be zipped off in probably around 30 seconds via hinge removal with a cordless impact and a 15 mill deep socket? Maybe they are just covers over top the actual fastener ?
All these apocalyptic vehicles ignore one thing. Fuel. With 5 mpg fuel economy, you would need a gas station in tow, which would be hard to come by in the zombie apocalypse.
Few things that bother me greatly. *Why are the lights operated by remote control? If the batteries in those remotes go dead those are useless. Why is there no wired control? *Locks seem to be fairly weak, easily bypassed. *External hinges and window frames with common used bolts, easily dissasembled. *Cheap chinese camera's mounted as backup cameras. I get that the point is to protect the occupants, but a little better design wouldn't be a bad idea.
Yeah the external bolts were the first thing I noticed too. Get this vehicle's powertrain inoperable, and you stand on the outside and start taking it apart with a drill. lol
@@nalgene247 yep, it’s designed for Cops to spend their bloated budgets on this truck so they can LARP as soldiers and feel cool while they drive to the baseball game so they can do traffic control
It's cool to see the Toyota 70 series becoming a popular choice of vehicle in the Canadian mining industry nowadays. I just wish and hope Toyota Canada would allow us to buy the regular 70 series for regular use smh
@@dzello there is 1 factory issue that has not been fixed. The front and rear wheels are not aligned. There's a company in Australia that has a fix for that.
@@robertojofre15 The surface irregularities are probably because of the paint. I'm talking about "Indian knockoff" or "guy built one because he couldn't afford the real thing" kinda deal.
Armored car with top hatch worth 180k: Gotta make sure that doesn’t fall into the wrong hands!! 7 Billion of military equipment left in Afghanistan: we’re gonna pretend we didn’t see that.
It needs a wider track. Those wheels and tires look too small for this thing. Maybe toss some wider wheels and tires on it and it wouldn’t look so wired in that aspect
I thought of a good business idea. You could buy this truck and start a company called Ghetto Tours, and use it to take people around all the worst ghettos in America, and provide a safe, educational, fun experience. I’ve always wanted to see the ghettos but too scared to go myself.
If they ever make a new twisted metal, Doug would be easily a boss that rides around in something like this truck with rockets and missiles coming out. As he explaining that they are quirks and features of the PA system as they are blowing you car up.
i love how Cars and Bids is doing so well, i expect every single vehicle Doug reviews to include, "big news! this is for sale on CARS AND BIDS" also, this car is like an Otterbox for a Land Cruiser.
We have tons of 60s 70s and 80s, we get the shittiest cars here in America from other manufacturers because most people here keep cars for 4 years….. you just never see us selling ours. Shit we even have 40s
"A roof hatch, like a machine gun turret point almost seems militaristic". Almost? ALMOST?? Under what circumstances would that not be explicitly militaristic?
Fun fact. If you try to off road an armored vehicle, because of the torsion of the body, the glasses wil delaminate, since essentially the are multiple layers of policarbonate and glass
@@bosstowndynamics5488 I leave in Rio de Janeiro, and unfortunately there are plenty of Armored cars here. I myself have a Range Rover Sport Armored for daily use. I’ve seen twice armored Land Rover Defender delaminate the windshield and even brake fé drivers side window, which was open when it happened.
@@paulog8813 The Range Rovers aren't body on frame, the new Defender isn't either and the old one was infamous for poor quality body panel fitment. None of that speaks to torsion of a body fitted to the much stronger and better regarded 70 series chassis.
@@bosstowndynamics5488 I Know I own an Old Defender Td5, A disco 1 V8 both body on frame and a RRS (Unibody). The 2 cases I mentioned were old Defenders 110, with of course Body on frame.
@@paulog8813 They're still Land Rovers though, and as I said at the very least the Defender had infamously bad body fitment, so torsional forces through its body off-road wouldn't imply that the same thing would happen to the much tougher and better regarded 70 series.
everything in solid black, or, "how to stand out against everything you might encounter" This is at least partially meant to look menacing, not provide maximum protection in the widest variety of circumstances (which might not be a bad thing, depending on the customer base)
Doug: I don't want to review modified vehicle. Also Doug: Reviews an unrecognisable Land Cruiser with nothing but the steering/dash/frame and engine from the factory.
This is available from the nominal manufacturer in this configuration, even if it's based on a Toyota it's directly sold by a second stage manufacturer and accurately represents what anyone would get if they bought their own. When Doug talks about avoiding modified cars he means things like aftermarket turbos that would change the way the vehicle drives *compared to other copies of the same vehicle*.
In Canada, we have a handful of 70 Land Cruisers except it’s only used for mining industries, and its already becoming incredibly popular for its usage. Its only sold thru one Toyota Dealership in Saskatchewan tho.
God, probably yeah. I've seen up-armored Camry and Accords before. So doing the same to your civic is certainly within the lane of possibility. Just don't expect it to be fast, or have good MPG though
It’s hard to find the black or grey exterior and black leather six speed. I’m sure he’s just waiting for the perfect model that hasn’t been notified. Extremely rare cars
The best part of the Cuda is that it's a Land Cruiser underneath which means you know it will be ultra reliable and not breakdown. An armored Range Rover will breakdown,.
@@KangoV The electrical system or engine will fail by itself, that's how it goes with unarmored Land Rovers. All the armor in the world won't save you from that.
That would be the perfect car to drive the kids to school with and go for grocery shopping at the local Walmart! Surely nothing can go wrong then right?
Wow... what an adventure this vehicle would present when you encounter those out-of-control road-ragers or the usual suspects who never notice their blind spots.
Park this in San Fran with a $20 on the seat and then we’ll see how armored it really is
Test the armor capacity in Chicago
Why not just go all out and leave it on the streets of Detroit

This looks simultaneously miniaturised & massive
The vehicle next to it dwarfs it too.

No one buying these gives AF about that. You're paying for armor not luxury. Pay $250k if you want perfect stickers.
The cheap Chinese buttons that fail easily are another issue I see. I'd rather have an old school toggle

I thought of a good business idea. You could buy this truck and start a company called Ghetto Tours, and use it to take people around all the worst ghettos in America, and provide a safe, educational, fun experience. I’ve always wanted to see the ghettos but too scared to go myself.
If they ever make a new twisted metal, Doug would be easily a boss that rides around in something like this truck with rockets and missiles coming out. As he explaining that they are quirks and features of the PA system as they are blowing you car up.
This is basically Outlaw from Twisted Metal Black.
Always look forward to Doug’s take on these extreme vehicles!
i love how Cars and Bids is doing so well, i expect every single vehicle Doug reviews to include, "big news! this is for sale on CARS AND BIDS"
also, this car is like an Otterbox for a Land Cruiser.
Doug is the type of guy who tells people to stop ambushing him
0:42 seems like a suspicious amount of shots not fired at the engine block area...
Hey Doug, would love to see a review of the standard 70 series land cruiser! might be hard to get your hands on one in USA.
Maybe he can find one on Diplomatic Plates. He has a few videos (including this) around Washington DC......
We have tons of 60s 70s and 80s, we get the shittiest cars here in America from other manufacturers because most people here keep cars for 4 years….. you just never see us selling ours. Shit we even have 40s
imagine accidentally locking your keys inside this thing
My normal method of using grenades to unlock doors wouldn’t work on this.
Unbolt the doors, easy.
"A roof hatch, like a machine gun turret point almost seems militaristic".
Almost? ALMOST?? Under what circumstances would that not be explicitly militaristic?
I dunno, I mean, my Volkswagen has a roof hatch. It's made of glass and the manual calls it a sunroof, but...
also I like how that would be seen as militaristic but the GUN PORTS aren't 😂
Word!
Doug during the apocalypse
The metric conversion at the bottom is highly appreciated. Liked the video
Fun fact. If you try to off road an armored vehicle, because of the torsion of the body, the glasses wil delaminate, since essentially the are multiple layers of policarbonate and glass
Fun fact. The 70 Series is a body on frame vehicle so the body won't be subject to significant torsional forces offroad.
@@bosstowndynamics5488 I leave in Rio de Janeiro, and unfortunately there are plenty of Armored cars here. I myself have a Range Rover Sport Armored for daily use. I’ve seen twice armored Land Rover Defender delaminate the windshield and even brake fé drivers side window, which was open when it happened.
@@paulog8813 The Range Rovers aren't body on frame, the new Defender isn't either and the old one was infamous for poor quality body panel fitment. None of that speaks to torsion of a body fitted to the much stronger and better regarded 70 series chassis.
@@bosstowndynamics5488 I Know I own an Old Defender Td5, A disco 1 V8 both body on frame and a RRS (Unibody). The 2 cases I mentioned were old Defenders 110, with of course Body on frame.
@@paulog8813 They're still Land Rovers though, and as I said at the very least the Defender had infamously bad body fitment, so torsional forces through its body off-road wouldn't imply that the same thing would happen to the much tougher and better regarded 70 series.
I don’t need to wait for the apocalypse the way the world is I need this truck right now 😂
From someone who works in Iraq and Syria, I find these Michigan Militia SUVs to be hilarious! 🤣
Yeah sure there are plenty of things that will penetrate the armor.
@@jeffk464 no kinda not eally its gonna take alot and again u dum dum ..its not the point
This car can be used to prevent baby mama drama and many more
As someone who forges bank vaults military grade armour is cute. Nothing gets through 40ft of high carbon steel, oh look mine's bigger!
everything in solid black, or, "how to stand out against everything you might encounter"
This is at least partially meant to look menacing, not provide maximum protection in the widest variety of circumstances (which might not be a bad thing, depending on the customer base)
An armored car? This channel just keeps getting better and better 👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you Doug for explaining how a PA system works. Cutting edge stuff.
Given my monthly income, my financial advisor has informed me that I cannot bear a Cuda.
LOL, snort....
LOL! Well done, good Sir
Anyone else who wanted him to knock on the glass just to hear how thick it was ?
The land cruiser for when the masses have had enough!
Take a drink every time Doug says “penetrate”
The "Cuda"
GTA Players: no no no no no no no no its called the nightshark
Insurgent*
@@Christian_Sannino shit
@@TheAwesomeKid126 Insurgent*
@@Christian_Sannino I know what your talking about I just forgot💀
@@TheAwesomeKid126 Nightshark is better than Insurgent
Doug: I don't want to review modified vehicle.
Also Doug: Reviews an unrecognisable Land Cruiser with nothing but the steering/dash/frame and engine from the factory.
This is available from the nominal manufacturer in this configuration, even if it's based on a Toyota it's directly sold by a second stage manufacturer and accurately represents what anyone would get if they bought their own. When Doug talks about avoiding modified cars he means things like aftermarket turbos that would change the way the vehicle drives *compared to other copies of the same vehicle*.
Everybody: "Doug, you have to review a Cuda!"
Doug:
Stop
This is not how you meme
In Canada, we have a handful of 70 Land Cruisers except it’s only used for mining industries, and its already becoming incredibly popular for its usage. Its only sold thru one Toyota Dealership in Saskatchewan tho.
Never knew how much I needed one of these trucks till today.. I love it.
love the variety content
Should be how all vehicles are made, would make my SoCal commute much more interesting... Can they do this to my Civic? 😁
If you have a 6digit dollars in the bank minimum, they can probably do it.
@@icouldntthinkofagoodname7216 tempted to madmax it out, maybe I'd get cutoff less 😅
God, probably yeah. I've seen up-armored Camry and Accords before. So doing the same to your civic is certainly within the lane of possibility.
Just don't expect it to be fast, or have good MPG though
Review a passat w8 pls
He'll w8 on if he can find it lol
It’s hard to find the black or grey exterior and black leather six speed. I’m sure he’s just waiting for the perfect model that hasn’t been notified. Extremely rare cars
The best part of the Cuda is that it's a Land Cruiser underneath which means you know it will be ultra reliable and not breakdown. An armored Range Rover will breakdown,.
An armoured range rover has full drivetrain protection. A bomb can go off underneath and it will still drive.
@@KangoV The electrical system or engine will fail by itself, that's how it goes with unarmored Land Rovers. All the armor in the world won't save you from that.
I can't imagine how can they ever reach general population about this vehicle without you!
Very cool vehicle.... just goes to prove once more the crazy reliability that Toyota enjoys worldwide.
That would be the perfect car to drive the kids to school with and go for grocery shopping at the local Walmart! Surely nothing can go wrong then right?
Wow... what an adventure this vehicle would present when you encounter those out-of-control road-ragers or the usual suspects who never notice their blind spots.
Doug is the type of guy to ask someone to stop ambushing him.
The best choice for a home defence lmao
Doug deMuro a super Star car reviewer,....the best and no one comes close.
Doug's the type of guy to politely ask ambushers to stop attacking though the PA system
It also comes with anti-lockon against missiles by Imani tech; It's very good against Oppressor griefers.
In a little while Doug will review a spaceship! 😂
338 Lapua & 50 BMG have entered the chat?
Somebody decided to make the GTA V armored vehicles in real life! I need one! 😂
