CJNG sicario in Michoacán seen with a metal detector, likely for EOD role

This appears to be a Minelab Equinox 800, which CJNG “explosivistas” have been seen using before. The Equinox 800 is a mid range detector, costing around $800-1200 depending on the specs.

Behind the scenes of a narco tank production line

Shown here is some footage from inside a clandestine vehicle up-armouring facility linked to the New Generation Jalisco Cartel (CJNG).

Slides 1-6 show the inside and outside of an up-armoured monstruo. Notable features include a turret up top, usually fitted with a heavier weapon such as Browning M1919 or M2 machine guns, or a Barrett anti-materiel rifle. There are shooting ports around the vehicle, positioned below the bulletproof glass, which can be opened/closed as necessary. There is also a ladder on one side, for the turret gunner and his weapon.

There is a bench inside the rear compartment, as shown by slide 5. Slide 6 shows the addition of two rear facing seats and a spare tire. Slide 7 shows the vehicle being moved inside the facility. The obnoxious text and emojis refer to the Gente del Jardinero (gardener 💐) and Don Mole in the state of Guerrero.

Slide 8 shows the same vehicle after a paint job, giving it a camo pattern finish.

A Ford F250 FX4 which has had an armoured rear compartment and a turret added at the same facility. It also has a similar ladder to the previous monstruo. It can be seen again after a camo paint job.

Recent footage shows H12 sicarios affiliated with Los Cabrera and the CDS Mayito Flaco faction distributing ammunition and operating in/around San Ignacio, Sinaloa, where fighting continues against sicarios affiliated with the CDS Chapitos faction, likely sicarios of René 00.
