An e-mail from Microsoft this afternoon detailing the next few weeks of Xbox Live content did little to inform us of anything new... except of course date some previously unofficial Just Cause 2 DLC.
Avalanche have already stated that they've got lots of DLC planned and it looks as if the first piece is coming on April 7th. A piece of DLC they like to call the Chevalier Ice Breaker, which appears to be a "pimped-up Ice Cream Van."
The Chevalier Ice Breaker DLC was mentioned a while back in a long list of random items that someone from the SomethingAwful's forums uncovered within the text of the PC version of the demo (registration required, full list below).
According to Microsoft, expect an armoured ice cream truck on April 7th. Not an actual one... one for Just Cause 2. No price as of yet is stated.

The full list that was taken from the PC demo of rumoured DLC items that are planned for the game are as follows (it also includes the pre-order items):
Pimped Rides Pre-order Pack
Bring on the chaos in Panau with a pimped up Ice Cream Van. Featuring a sturdy front ram, side skirts and greater top speed, you have the perfect tool for causing some serious fender-benders. Its extreme makeover also include a jingle to match. And if you’re in the mood for something even more destructive, why not try out a true weapon of mass destruction in the new and improved Tuk-Tuk. No longer the runt of the litter, this particular Tuk-Tuk houses a ridiculously oversized mounted weapon on the roof. Just the thing you need to wreak havoc in paradise!

Unleash your inner beast with two truly powerful new vehicles. Get your kicks on the routes of Panau with this beautiful Chevalier Sauvage -69.

And if you are looking for a bit more bang for your buck, try out the new F-33 Dragonfly fighter jet. With quad-mounted miniguns and double missile launchers, this agile bird is the definite ruler of the skies, and packs a serious punch to land based targets as well.
