I am glad to hear this...late to get back to this but still. And after dealing with some real life versions of these things...foreshadowing is a pain in the rear.

20 tons is a pretty serious pick-up truck... I'd think that classic 5-ton jeep with the SRM/2 and 1 ton of armor would be closer to the mark on what any sort of impromptu technical somebody might rig up.
A 5 ton wheeled truck with 4 RL/10s would be even better. Thats super-low tech, hell even haji does that from time to time.
