The latest iteration of the Toyota Land Cruiser came out to be more off-road ready with all the huge updates made through the new GA-F platform. It didn’t take long before Australian off-road parts manufacturers TJM and ARB roll out their off-road 4x4 packages for the Japanese full-size SUV that enhance its visuals and capacities.
Toyota Land Cruiser with TJM off-road kits
TJM boasts the addition of the all-steel Outback Bull Bar up front which was designed to go hand-in-hand with the model’s low-mounted air coolers. It comes with two auxiliary lights which are paired with LED lighting mounted on the roof so drivers can get good visibility even when off-roading at night.
Considering the harsh conditions on off-roads, the Australian company added protections around the SUV. Listed as protection parts are underbody guards, side steps, and sidebars. Additionally, a lift kit finished in yellow was installed to offer a higher ground clearance and a more stable ride.
Ready to hit the trails
Rounding off the TJM off-road 4x4 accessories for the Land Cruiser 300 Series is the Airtec Snorkel located at the left-hand side of the SUV. It comes with an all-new design that features a wider opening for increased airflow. This can help off-roaders drive through floods or rivers without running into a possibility of a hydrolock.
Toyota Land Cruiser ARB
On the other hand, ARB showcases its next-gen Summit steel bull bar which gives the SUV its rugged off-road appeal. This remains to be compatible with Summit side rails and steps. It is equipped with LED lights with red accents which add style to the front fascia.
The company said that it will offer a variety of 4x4 off-road mods including driving lights, scrub rails, suspensions kits, and unique alloy wheels. With this, Land Cruiser owners can choose the parts and accessories that best suit their preferences. Interested buyers can now pre-order the ARB’s next-gen Summit Bar.
Cosmetic and performance enhancements
Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) won’t likely offer these off-road parts as options. But Land Cruiser owners in the country might want to check out aftermarket shops for the said parts including ARB’s stockists at Rats 4x4 in Makati City and Gears (Philippines) in Quezon City.
