Well to start with, we have 3 bulletproofed cars for drug smuggling.. este.. I mean work purposes That's two Level 6 Expeditions and one Level 4 Monty GT-V.
1. Don't use them as a daily driver unless it's lightly armored. Capable of stopping pistols? Baka pwede pa. Daily driving a Carbine-stopping car? Don't.
2. What's under your hood will determine your armoring level. It's a bit pointless to bulletproof a Toyota Vios if it turns your 0-60mph from 15 seconds to 40. Kung may gusto pumatay sayo, expect them to chase you at least. Please, do NOT underestimate how heavy bulletproofing is. Using the Expeditions merit me to forecast driving movements at least 3-4 cars away.
3. Don't be showy. The point of bulletproofing is to save your damned life in case of an emergency not to show it off. Besides, being more conspicuous will only mean you're more of a target. Let's say you're a killer and you need to kill somebody who wears orange clothing, has a lot of bling, and has an afro.. hell.. that's way easier than getting information like "boy with shirt and jeans".
4. Say goodbye to your passenger/driver/all of your side glass. Fixed na yan. Don't bother ordering take-outs or getting mall parking tickets by pulling down your window.. you'll have to open your door for that. If you do opt for the optional "retractable" bulletproof-glass, don't. A lot of owners complain about the sliding mechanism a lot... not to mention mahal pa.
5. Don't go overboard with the options. If possible, keep it simple. L4 is good na with reinforced door panels and glass bullet-proofing. Ito mali namin sa unang Expedition.. it's actually hilarious when I look back since ang daming options naka-check which made it an absolute pain in the ass to drive.
For one, the glass is thicker than my entire finger which means driving it means my windshield just a 10 inches away from my head. Thanks to the thickness of the glass it also didn't like the heat of the metro over time so cracks began on appearing on the 3rd year due to glass expansion.
Pop open the hood and you'll just be met with a flat panel. Batteries? Covered. Engine? Covered. Lahat nalang. Bottom also has ballistic protection and can handle small explosives. Problem is... car stalled due to battery problem? Don't bother calling Motolite Delivery... since kamot-ulo sila dyan. I hope you keep your "battery case key" around.
Due to the added weight from armoring, you'll need to upgrade the chassis and suspension depending on the "proofing". In our case, the chassis and suspension was upgraded to cope up with the added weight so that it drives normal. Still, I will recommend upgrading your brake system.. and if you're loaded, the engine too. Viva Triton V8 superchargers :naughty2:
Then there's the rule not to push the red smokescreen button. I always wanted to.. but if I play around with it patay ako sa repercussions pagbalik so I don't dare
On the topic, can you buy armored cars like those in banks? Yes you can. Those are considered private cars kasi. Problema lang, I cannot recommend them. First, those are specialized vehicles. They're not comfortable at all. Want to take them to Baguio? Good luck. You'll need even more luck if they do break-down. What I do recommend is get a diesel Fortuner or Montero and lightly armor them --- pistol-stopping lang kilangan mo.
For the specialized vehicles, you can buy them from security contractors secondhand or armoring vehicle specialists first-hand. There's an association that does vehicle armoring naman so you can look that up. One of the larger armoring companies is CTK in Banawe and I'll also recommend them due to their reputation. If you plan on armoring a SUV, just get a talk to them and get a quote. Prices will depend on protection and options.Last edited by jhnkvn; May 22nd, 2014 at 05:13 AM.
