The small South Caucasus nation of Georgia has become a multi-billion dollar hub for the international used car market. The vehicles are mostly sourced from the US, and many appear to be ending up in Russia.

      Did no one think to change the suspension out during the modification process?

      Talk about a shitty technical.

          Shitty technicals are a dime a dozen, but this clearly had money, time, and skilled labor, all invested into it.

          The gun turret looks decently welded to the body, possibly even the frame.

          Replaced the glass on the back windows with metal for extra blast fragment and ricochet shielding. Possibly even additional steel plating for direct small arms fire protection, given how low the suspension is sitting.

          Did one of the workers steal the suspension upgrade for himself? Is it designed only to be mobile long enough for it to get into position and lock itself down once the axle snaps?

          Or did they blow the entire budget before realizing how fucked they were?
