Marc Ecko's Gurkha

This is the only video on youtube of this crazy armored vehicle. It's made by a company called Armet Armored Vehicles.

Here is some info on the truck from the company's website:

The GURKHA has a typical SUV configuration of four side doors and a single rear cargo-crew exit door and carries a total crew complement of up to eight persons.

Mounted on the Ford F550 chassis, repair and spare parts are available throughout the worldwide Ford Motor Company.

The GURKHA may be armored to the NATO STANAG 4569 level 3 which exceeds the CEN European B7 armor level.

With its hollow cavity walls filled with blast protective materials, the side armor provides excellent protection against side load IEDs. In addition to its frontal armor, the firewall is a second armored wall that further protects the driver and front passenger from a frontal attack.

As well as the foregoing, the floor is protected from blast and even with this superior armored protection, the payload after armoring is still in excess of 2,041kg (4,500lbs).
