    Default AM715 in Colombia?

    Hello,
    I've been watching "Narcos" on Netflix - Very much worth watching. Covers Pablo Escobar's career and was shot in Colombia. In the episode in which they surround Escobar's prison there is a M715 with the following:

    - Civilian front fenders
    - Eight lug axles with conventional stamped rims, exactly as the photo below.

    It looks almost exactly like this, except that it had a snorkel coming through the hood on the passenger side. This vehicle must be in Colombia.

    Ah, thank you!
    Civvy doors and home made grill guard too.
    I've never seen a blackout light like that, is that later issue or something home made or foreign?
    Good looking truck.

    Those are some funny looking pipe brackets on top of the bumper.

    I've heard good things about that series, might have to check it out.

    The brushguard is not home made. The first photo I posted is no longer visible...

    That looks like a KIA. They`re still making them in South Korea.

    Yup. Shame on the Koreans for doing away with the beautiful lines of the original FSJ hood
