The Toyota Land Cruiser is already a pretty tough SUV, but you can make it even tougher by turning it into an all-out armored vehicle. Inkas Armored offers such an upgrade, turning the boxy off-roader into an inconspicuous tank in Land Cruiser clothing.
Inkas offers a host of upgrades that any important dignitary would want, offering up to a BR6 level of protection and a passenger compartment that meets CEN standards. It has ballistic steel plating surrounding the entire passenger cabin, ballistic glass, and a rear armored bulkhead. It also has a run-flat system if the Land Cruiser receives a punctured tire or loses one.

Inkas also armored the floors, firewall, fuel tank, and pillars while adding overlapping protection to ensure no bullets sneak through the seams. According to the company, the added protection is capable of withstanding assault rifle rounds and blasts from hand grenades.
Customers can add even more protection in the form of engine bay armor, an engine bay fire suppression system, an oxygen filtration system, strobe lights, night vision, reinforced bumpers, and even a roof escape hatch if things go really wrong on your way to work.
All that extra armor adds weight, which Inkas counters with a reinforced suspension. The company doesn’t mention any powertrain upgrades, but the boxy Toyota has a turbocharged four-cylinder hybrid engine making 326 horsepower and 456 pound-feet of torque.
