Yes pwede yun. But most buyers will usually reinforce all of the windows. Front windshield and rear glass is obvious for a lot of reasons. The front (driver & passenger) is needed is because if your driver gets shot, yari ka. The back is needed is because you're mostly being chauffeured around with the safest seat being directly behind the driver.

I forgot the cost pala. Hmm... as costs depends on options (parang Porsche lang yan.. super tempting magcheck ng options haha), I'd say have at least Php3m if you plan on going for the Level 6 one.

In our case, 2km/L lang usually si Expedition on city driving. I remember spending Php5,000 with a QC-Fontana-QC-Makati route. Abot Makati ubos na

and the incident kinda pissed me off since 3 days palang. The Monty is a bit better with 5km/L. See the ad on a Fortuner with B6 protection? Don't bother. Super bagal niyan. A B4 will a better choice.

Due to the added weight, you usually need to reach higher revs to get ample torque to haul your ass. I will also recommend diesel's torque figures over sheer gasoline horsepower.

We also explored the possibility of importation of armored cars from the US. Problem is the taxation pagdating dito. If let's say a US Expedition costs $50,000 then pinabullet-proof niyo in the US with the cost of $55,000. Common sense will usually dictate that we pay a 100% tax on the vehicle SRP ($50K) but for some damned reason, Customs will double the entire expense ($105k x 2 = $210k) and that's the reason why having it made locally is better... not to mention reliant ka sa bulletproofing company for maintenance.

Retz, este AngBatangHamog, bili ka na lang ng bulletproof vest saka helmet! Meron din bulletproof underwear kung concern ka sa protection ni tuytuy. O kaya pagawa ka ng armor suit yung medieval ba. O, di protected ka kahit wala ka sa car mo tapos knight in shining armor ka pa.

Yan ang mga trip

Ako din worried sa mga krimen na nangyayari ngayon same with your thinking bro but I think bibili na lang ako ng low end cars na hindi pag iinteresan nakawin then ipapa bullet proof ko complete with all the techies and modifications.

TS is right if bibili ng SUV and have it armoured.. mas expensive IMHO... but i could be wrong.. and andun pa rin yung point that you need to take care of your ride.. eh with this vehicle... BRING IT ON!...

Tama ka sir Snake, mas mapapamahal talaga kapag SUV pa tsaka takaw Carnap pa at Maintenance rin, gaya ng magasgasan lang sakit na sa ulo di tulad kapag armored car na ganito kahit magasgasan okey lang dahil hindi mahirap pinturahan o masilyahin.. o kapag nabanga ka sila ang mas malaki ang damage...

To the TS, if you're really serious about using an armoured truck as a daily drive, think about this.....

Isuzu Elfs do an average of 5-6 kms/liter of diesel (full load) NORMAL city driving (after rush hour). Rush hour traffic would set you back about 3 kms/liter.

HTH

Hindi ko alam na Isuzu Elf pala yan... okey lang yan saakin atleast safe ang mga mahahalaga at importante kung lakad... thanks for the info's...

wag kana bumili ng ganyan..

kontakin mo nalang si iron man.at magpagawa ka sa kanya..iwas trapik pa....

at least kahit papano 100% safety ka..

kapag kasi armor madami kapang kailangan ayusing permit bago ka magka roon ng ganyan.

wala akong tiwala sa pre-made at modified vehicle baka sub-standard lang ang ininstall/nilagay mas gusto ko yung Kita at Ramdam ko yung bakal na sasakip sa buhay ko sa oras ng panga-ngailangan at disgrasya na dumating saakin...

mahirap ata yan kung maglalagay ako nyan, takaw sita...

okey lang yan sanayan lang yan at matutunan ko rin yan... may mga mirrors naman...

10+ wheelers nga kinakaya, kaya rin natin ito...

Payagan ka kaya mag park sa mall parking pag yan dala mo? Baka kahit sa open parking di ka papassukin.

Hindi naman cguro sir kasi nagtrabaho rin ako sa mga mall etc. at nakikita ko naman na parang hindi naman ganun na sakit sa katawan ihandle, di tulad ng 10+wheelers... gaya ng kasabihan, sanayan lang... chicks meron din yan, may mga chicks na curios sa mga ganitong car... Hikhikhik!

hindi ko alam pero pwede naman cguro hindi naman pwedeng bawalan agad tayo magpark lalo na kung wala naman na sign na no parking, magdala lang cguro ng id at rehistro para kapag nasita or check point... im sure mabibilib rin sila saakin lalo na kapag nakabili agad ako, lalagyan ko pa ng sticker na tsikot...

OT: yung ibang armored vehicles bakit kamay parin kung sumenyas parang mga jeepyney drivers, may turn signals naman..? di rason yung pundidong bumbilya, magkano lang ba single contact bulb diba

imomodified ko nalang yung decals and paint... wala talaga akong tiwala sa pre-made at modified vehicle baka sub-standard lang ang ininstall/nilagay mas gusto ko yung Kita at Ramdam ko yung bakal na sasakip sa buhay ko sa oras ng panga-ngailangan at disgrasya na dumating saakin...

I agree with 170kphlang, you're making yourself more of a target. I don't even drive close to armored cars thinking that it could get ambushed anytime.

I think jhnkvn has bulletproof cars. He can probably give you details on the cost of owning one.

Hi im 30+...

bakit naman ang harsh naman ng ibang reply im just asking and inquiring lang naman about armored car... parang ang sama naman magtanong dito sa forum site nyo...

sa tingin ko naman pwede naman cguro kasi may mga armored car naman din na modified at custom made na... yung gusto ko lang eh, yung literal na armored car talaga... tama rin sabi ng iba kanya-kanya lang naman ng magugustuhan or trip na sasakyan...
