But some [[Mek]]s go even further and customize them with one of their special devices. The most common of them are listed here.  ===Armour Plates===Some [[Mekboy]]s enhance vehicle armour by bolting strips of metal to the sides of the vehicle. This improvised armour plating gives greater protection to the vehicle from most ranged attacks, although they give no extra defence against ordnance hits.{{Fn|9}}

A '''Grabbin' Claw''' is effectively a giant claw-like device which allows Ork passengers to grab an enemy vehicle and stop it from "running away". It is , however , quite cumbersome and as such is useless against anything that can move out of the way fast enough.{{Fn|1}}

===Wreckin' BallGrot Sponsons===When Orks love demolition almost as much as feel their tanks don't have enough weaponry, they love warsometimes mount additional [[Big Shoota]] sponsons with [[Gretchin]] manning them. That makes them more accurate than usual Ork weapons, but these sponsons are very fragile and are easily destroyed in battle .{{Fn|6}} ===Red Paint Job===Most cultures in the galaxy place special meaning on the colours they often use can perceive. Many vehicles in the Ork armoury are painted red as a giant spiked ball on result of the superstition that it makes them "go fasta!". Because of the cumulative psychic effect of the [[Waaagh!]], this thought manifests itself as a chain which swings rapidly and uses momentum real boost to damage the slow-moving operation of a vehicle. The effect is not limited to vehicles or even infantry that are too slow as red is found on just about any item an Ork wants to make stronger, faster, shoot better, etc. The most fanatical Orks belong to evade its crushing blowsthe [[Kult of Speed]] and use red liberally.{{Fn|19}}

Ork drivers often miss the thrill of close combat and so their vehicles are often customised so that they have to do something while they drive. It gives the vehicle a much better ability to ram its way through a battlefield and make its way through dangerous terrain.{{Fn|1}}

===Deff RollaSpikes 'n' Blades===The '''Deff Rolla''' is Effectively a more powerful version huge number of the Reinforced Ram - a great metal cylinder lined with spikes and barbs that brings blades welded, strapped or glued onto the weight side of the an Ork vehicle to bear on anything on its way. It is tremendously effective, allowing the vehicle and help to crush infantry and even other vehicles under protect itduring close combat. It is often attached to the front of larger They are not used on Ork vehiclestransports, such as [[Battlewagon]]s and [[Battlefortress]]eshowever.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|79}}

The '''Stikkbomb Chukka''' is a simple mechanism, allowing the vehicle to fire [[Stikkbombs]] in support of deploying Orks, giving them cover as they plunge out of the vehicle into the ranks of the enemy. It also has the effect of demoralising enemy troops. It can also be installed on [[Mega Armour]], giving its user a better chance when assaulting enemies behind cover, although it does mean that they are preoccupied with throwing the [[Stikkbomb]] and cannot attack with as much force.{{Fn|1}} ===Grot Sponsons===When Orks feel their tanks don't have enough weaponry, they sometimes mount additional [[Big Shoota]] sponsons with [[Gretchin]] manning them. That makes them more accurate than usual Ork weapons, but these sponsons are very fragile and are easily destroyed in battle.{{Fn|6}}

Also known as Turbo-Chargas, '''Turbo Boostas ''' are effectively huge spare engines strapped onto the side of the vehicle which can be activated whenever the driver likes. It does have a tendency to have an unpredictable range and prevents anyone from shooting or disembarking from the vehicle as they are holding on for their lives.{{Fn|9}}

===Spikes Wreckin'n' BladesBall===Upgrade referred to Orks love demolition almost as much as Spikes 'n' Blades is effectively a huge number of spikes and blades welded, strapped or glued onto the side of an Ork vehiclethey love war, and help to protect it during close combat. They are not used on Ork transports however.{{Fn|9}} ===Armour Plates===Some [[Mekboy]]s enhance vehicle armour by bolting strips of metal to the sides of the vehicle.
