official vehicle partner of the 2014 Winter Olympic

The specially built Amaroks received a host of upgrades to take on the cold and complete lack of roads.

The team replaced the front and rear suspension with long-travel, heavy-duty shocks and massive knobby tires to ensure traction in deep snow and ice.

The body was kept stock other than cutting out the fenders to fit the wheels and tires. ​The 2.0-liter turbo diesel engine remained mostly untouched because the goal was reliability, not speed.

For added safety, the interior was fitted with a roll cage, and the trucks had extra navigation equipment to make sure the team didn't get lost.

Judging by what's happening over in Russia I would rather have an armoured vehicle. But that thing is pretty awesome and I would love to have it, might need to make a bigger hole in my garage though!

That is true enough; I agree with you. However, I guess on the other hand the last big sports event I recall getting bombed was the Boston Marathon and in Canada, a certain mom couldn't even pick up her kids at hockey without getting beaten to death by a junkie. Isolated incidents, and apples to oranges I know, but life can sneak up on you all over the place.

Still happier in AB than in Sochi.

I saw these trucks in cancun mexico recently and have wasted some time on the phone and computer trying to buy one , they all tell me no can do because it doesn't have approval from big brother to the south of us (DETROIT) supposedly for safety reasons although it is ok for south America ,mexico and Europe .
