Scroll down on this site, below the paragraphs, they have several pics of Toyotas in use by rebels in the recent (or is that possibly ongoing?) conflict in Libya.

Notice in particular the one pic of the guy who's standing by the truck as it's firing off rockets (not sure what size or type, Katyusha or something similiar I think) from a jury-rigged launcher on the back. You can also see what I'm assuming is a cable leading to a firing switch.

Notice the backblast of the rocket though. Even though that guy is standing off to the side, that still looks a little close for comfort.
