The bulky SUV is protected with the fitment of custom-fabricated armoured steel plates, composite materials and 38mm ballistic glass to make it impenetrable from the rifles mentioned above.

And just like in a James Bond film, SVI has added a clever escape hatch to the bulkhead for occupants to exit in case the vehicle comes under fire.

According to Business Live, the full B6 treatment will set customers back from R981 823 (excluding VAT). Just like other brands, SVI offers optional extras such as B6 protection for the roof, floor and heavy-duty run-flat rings. The company quotes a build-time of four months.

This latest Plus version created for the rugged Land Cruiser 79 appeals to users seeking an even more comprehensive package. The semi-discreet level B6 kit is available for both single- and double-cab Land Cruiser 79 body styles, and offers protection against assault rifles, including AK47 and R1.

Like SVI’s other Stopgun V2.0 packages, this latest iteration features unobtrusively integrated door armour rather than the widely used double-door system, along with suitably upgraded hinges. Furthermore, flat armoured glass is bolted into each window frame, enhancing the structural integrity of the Land Cruiser 79’s doors and allowing for fuss-free replacement should any damage be sustained during an attack. Gunports are included, though can be deleted upon request.
