IS vehicles captured by Iraq[]
The iraqi armed forces published some pictures of some captured IS vehicles in july 2017. The technicals in the above galleries are mostly from Syria. Notice how the IS technicals are all armored, but carry less weapons. Obviously the Iraqi army would have taken the weapons, but there's clearly less places to mount weapons, in comparison to the Syrian ones.
The truck cabin must have been hit with some explosive weapon. Picture in use at the Alnsur SUV page.

Those roof frames are probably meant to hold something. Also note the MG position in the back, between the vertical panels.
Improvised combat vehicles from the 2014 to present Ukraine war[]
BRDM converted to a trailer.
DAF truck with an agricultural dumper semi-trailer. Depending on what that trailer was previously used for, it could be very stinky in there.

- The military of Yemen has a lot of technicals. Some of them look pretty well made. The thing is that if they're mass-produced by an official military of a UN-recognized nation, then they're not "technicals" anymore.
