Think heavy machine gun mounted to the bed of a Tacoma. At a high level Hilux = Tacoma.

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
Oh, it is almost exactly what Borderlands had it as. Neat! Is there a specific reason Toyotas are used (cheap, tough, towing hitch used to mount a flamethrower)?

Other trucks are used too. Such as this guy, who sold his work truck under the assumption the group auctioning it abroad would repaint it first:

I think there was another ad that was like a life-size chess match that included knights. Unless that was for something else and I'm also getting wires crossed.

E: well poo poo, that's definitely a knight but not the ad I was thinking of. Maybe it was for a video game or something.

Yup, they made all of us watch that in boot camp and then again prior to the first time I was on the sea and anchor detail.

One day I met a Mormon Merchant Marine who looked exactly as apple-cheeked and innocent as the stereotype, and I thought a movie about his reaction to the pure degeneracy he must have seen around the world would be so worth the ticket price

I think about that guy every now and then when I read posts like yours
