Precision Engineered

360° Protection

The VPAM 7 Armoured Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series SUV is a purpose-built, no-compromise armoured vehicle engineered for high-risk operations in combat zones, border security patrols, counter-terror missions, and hostile terrain. Renowned for its rugged simplicity and legendary reliability, the 79 Series becomes a fortress on wheels when enhanced to VPAM BRV 2009 VR7 standards.

Designed for military units, government task forces, NGOs, and security contractors operating in volatile environments, this platform delivers unmatched durability, survivability, and off-road capability under fire.

Independently tested and certified to the VPAM BRV 2009 VR7 standard, the armoured Land Cruiser 79 Series offers all-around protection against:

7.62x51mm NATO rounds
Armor-piercing ammunition (e.g., 7.62x39mm API BZ, 5.56x45mm SS109)
Grenade fragments and blast pressure (compliant with ERV 2010)

This level of protection is typically reserved for high-level military and diplomatic armoured vehicles, now available in a highly capable 4×4 workhorse platform.

The passenger cabin is fully armored with large, uninterrupted ballistic plates composed of premium-grade armored steel for maximum protection.

Critical structural points are reinforced for durability and reliability, while other modifications may be made to maintain vehicle characteristics.

BLS armoring materials are manufactured to reflect the vehicle’s original design while enforcing a high level of security that remains discreet.

All armoring designs are prototyped and subsequently fabricated by our engineers and are proprietary to our organization.

Ballistic standards are tested by accredited 3rd-party laboratories to certify bullet resistance to internationally accepted standards.
