Why not jury buy a lightly armored APC?

Because even the cheapest new APCs cost several times the cost of this build, also a Hilux can go where an APC can't, MRAPs would be the most ideal option but again money is the issue.

Also spare parts of toyota hilux are relatively available , that make logistic easier.

Genuine question, what's the point of discrete armor if you're gonna have a massive steel box in the back?

Looks like an up-armored porta-potty to me.

I’ve seen units like this here in Ukraine they put a tarp over the back when in transit. It’s discreet

Its a modular system. You buy the Truck, and pad them with Add ons. You say what build(s) you need, then they make them for you.

Glass in the back thicker than the metal plates

Armored glass is almost always thicker than the actual steel armor. Look at pics of uparmored humvees or mraps the glass pokes out because it’s thicker

Considering that glass is weaker than steel, it would be weird if it was the other way around.

Bulletproof glass definetly isn't weaker than 2cm of steel
