SVI's Hilux SC Stopgun V2.0 available to order via Toyota SA dealers
SVI Engineering, leading specialist manufacturer of armoured products in South Africa, is pleased to announce that its popular Stopgun V2.0 armouring package for specific versions of the Hilux Single Cab is now fully approved by Toyota and available to order directly from any of the Japanese firm’s 200-plus dealerships countrywide.
Already the preferred choice in South Africa’s broader security industry, SVI’s cost-effective Stopgun V2.0 kit for choice derivatives in the Hilux Single Cab range is now officially backed by Toyota South Africa Motors. As a result, the bakkie’s standard manufacturer warranty and service plan remain intact, while the entire package - including the price of the base vehicle and the cost of the armouring kit - can be fully financed.
The Stopgun V2.0 package can be ordered from Toyota dealers as an optional conversion for any of the following four Hilux Single Cab derivatives, each of which employs the firm’s well-proven 2.4-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine (110 kW/400 Nm) and six-speed manual gearbox: 2.4 GD-6 SR 6MT, 2.4 GD-6 4x4 SR 6MT, 2.4 GD-6 RB Raider 6MT and 2.4 GD-6 4x4 Raider 6MT. As a reminder, level B6 armour provides protection against assault rifles, including AK47, R1 and R5.
“We’re exceptionally proud that our partnership with South Africa’s best-selling automaker - and our status as an authorised converter in Toyota’s commercial-vehicle partner programme - means the B6 Stopgun V2.0 package is now officially part of Toyota’s Conversions and Accessories product line-up, and is thus available to order from dealers nationwide. Already well proven in the field, our Stopgun V2.0 package has also passed Toyota’s rigorous durability test, which in itself is the ultimate stamp of approval,” said Nicol Louw, SVI Business Development Director.
As a Toyota Authorised Partner, SVI’s Stopgun V2.0 package was subjected to a comprehensive durability programme that included two 8 000 km stints on Toyota SA Motors’ dedicated durability track in KwaZulu-Natal. With each run representing 100 000 km of real-world usage, the product was effectively put through a gruelling 200 000 km evaluation.
A full teardown followed to allow Toyota’s engineers to inspect the status of all items, while the uprated door hinges and mounting points (plus the door-check straps) - which SVI includes in the package to offset the additional mass of the various B6 armouring components - were put through as many as 20 000 opening-and-closing cycles.
B6 STOPGUN V2.0 PACKAGE FOR TOYOTA HILUX
SVI’s Stopgun V2.0 package provides South Africa’s security forces with a cost-effective B6 armouring solution to combat general crime, escort valuables in transit or use for mining patrols. Featuring unobtrusive integrated door armour, the Stopgun V2.0 option also incorporates flat 38 mm armoured glass that is bolted into each window frame to allow for fuss-free replacement should damage be sustained during an attack.
In addition to the integrated door armour and ballistic glass, the roof, front fenders, all pillars and part of the firewall gain B6 bullet-resistant protection courtesy of custom-fabricated armoured steel plates, as do critical under-bonnet components such as the battery and ABS unit.
Furthermore, the curtain airbag in the Hilux Single Cab derivatives in question remains fully functional. Gunports are provided as standard but can be deleted upon request, while a front suspension upgrade is also included in the price, along with the uprated door hinges mentioned earlier. In addition, the rear bumper is reinforced as standard.

It feels odd to not have the golf R yet promote the rapid response
We offer the same armouring package (able to resist AK47) for the Golf 8 R. It's up to the customer to decide on the base vehicle.
Nos vemos en 25 años... segura accidentada... no hay como las antiguas landcruiser!
Why armor an x3?
And the other windows, do they also work?
Do you guys upgrade the window motors for those heavy windows?
Wooow great job indeed
Totally awesome!!😮
nicely done. i'll get the new Prado and bring it
How do I contact you?

Looks like a jail
Can you test it with armour penetrating rounds please
"This is a SVI B6 armored guardhouse. You can open it another SVI B6 armored guardhouse." Sorry, had to. Jokes aside, the modularity and mobility make the possibilities endless. Very cool.
I’m no expert on security, but that bolt isn’t going to keep that door locked.
What’s a guardhouse for?
It's a house for guards
So you can lock the guard IN, with anything laying around, and have an inmate stand on the escape hatch so he/she can't get out? Bad design, I freelance as a person who spots this kind of problem, let me know if you need help.
You seem bad at your job then because he very clearly shows the locking mechanism flipping in and out, meaning that only user error would allow the guard to be locked in...
@@dixienormus8 The best type of engineering prevents user error in my opinion

Dankie B6 Armour is the way to go
How is it German women sound sexy AND mildly sinister at the same time when they speak English!? 🤔
It's wild in South Africa.
😂Leave the window story... Hello there gorgeous
What's the equivalent, b4 or b6?
Ballistic resistance class NIJ Level IIIA is comparable to B4. 👍

NICE ❤
How do you guys protect the tyres on these vehicles? Are they solid inside? What happens if you shoot out the tyres?
Kevlar fibers laminated in epoxy cannot deform and stretch, therefore they snap. Without epoxy bonding, the same number of Kevlar fabric layers, backed by a block of clay, will likely stop a 7.62.
Maybe sloping it could help 🤔
WOW

Would 3mm of a hardened steel stop that round?
It might but if it's to hard it will shatter
Do you upgrade the suspension as well with all the added load the vehicle?
Yes, we include a suspension upgrade with B6 armour (this is not required with B4, which adds less weight).

Why did you have to wait so long for the first shot, scared the shit out of me😂
And yet, when I get a tiny rock in my windshield, it looks like the whole thing is going to shatter
Battery stop 556,223 and 762x39 and lower 308 might zip through even 300acc might give it a hard time
..."Петр Пугачев"...
Why would you even test this?
Can you 3D print me my wife away? ~A True ???
Just blows my mind how many people have WAY too much money and actually fear for their lives in SA! Such a sad sad country to be honest!
things will get better once we secure the borders
@@ToxxicMafia Yea, problem is the okes inside the borders!
I trust you guys job well done. 👌
That is incredibly impressive!! I always thought it would be impossible to armor a framelss window. Well done!
