2024 Toyota LandCruiser 79 GXL project vehicle
Our BIG build for 2025 is this 79 Series LandCruiser, one of the most iconic and accessorised off-road vehicles in Australia. It’s also one of the last V8 diesels to be offered, so it truly is a special vehicle and one that is sure to be coveted in the future.n
We’re extremely excited to be making a start on our big build for 2025.
Excited because we have taken delivery of one of the most iconic off-road vehicles in Australia, and one that is also one of the most accessorised and modified for specific usage. This means that we’ll have a swag of great products and modifications to do on the Cruiser to tailor it to suit our needs.
