If you’re behind the wheel of a 76 or 79 Series LandCruiser, chances are you’re not just after a drive — you’re chasing capability, durability, and a bit of that wild Aussie freedom. The LandCruiser 70 Series lineup has earned legendary status in Australia for good reason: it’s tough, reliable, and born for offroad life. But no matter how good it rolls out of the factory, there’s always room to build it better.
At SVNTY OFFROADS, we’re all about creating smarter, tougher, and more functional rigs using premium aftermarket LandCruiser parts and must-have 4 wheel drive accessories. Whether you're running a 79 Series dual cab, exploring in a 76 Series LandCruiser, or planning the ultimate outback escape, this guide covers some of the best upgrades to unlock your Cruiser’s full potential.
Why Go Aftermarket?
Toyota built the platform — now it’s your turn to personalise it. Aftermarket LandCruiser parts are the key to improving comfort, increasing storage, upgrading performance, and preparing your Cruiser for serious overlanding or tough worksite conditions.
Factory specs get the job done, but they’re far from perfect. Stock suspension can sag under load, interior storage is limited, and offroad preparedness is minimal. That’s where aftermarket accessories come in — and the LandCruiser has one of the most extensive upgrade ecosystems in the 4x4 world.
79 Series Dual Cab: The Ultimate Touring Ute
The 79 Series dual cab LandCruiser has exploded in popularity thanks to its rugged V8 engine, payload potential, and endless mod options. It's the workhorse that doubles as a weekend weapon. Here’s how to gear it up:
🛠️ Top Upgrades for 79 Series Dual Cabs:
1. Rear Canopy + Drawer Systems
Set up your rear canopy with modular drawer systems for tools, recovery gear, and camp kitchen storage. Brands like Clearview, Kaon, and Front Runner deliver high-strength storage gear tailored for dual cabs.
2. MOLLE Panels
A MOLLE panel setup behind the seats or on canopy doors allows you to attach pouches, first aid kits, and tools. It keeps your essentials within reach and maximises unused space. Ideal for both touring and tradie life.
3. ARB Twin Air Compressor
Every serious 79 Series build needs an onboard compressor. The ARB Twin Air Compressor is fast, reliable, and ideal for reinflating tyres after a beach run or powering air tools on the job. Mount it under the seat or in your canopy with a dustproof enclosure.
4. Suspension Upgrade
With all that weight, a suspension lift with load-rated coils and upgraded shocks is a must. It boosts ride comfort and improves articulation over corrugations and rocky tracks.
76 Series LandCruiser: The Underrated Offroad Beast
The 76 Series LandCruiser is the go-anywhere wagon that deserves more love. It’s a straight-shooting offroader with solid axles, a V8 heart, and loads of room for gear — perfect for touring, hunting, or escaping into the bush.
🔧 Top Mods for the LandCruiser 76 Series:
1. Interior Storage Upgrades
Fit a Kaon rear shelf or cargo barrier to get gear off the floor and organise your rear cabin. Pair it with a drop-down table or rear barn door shelf to create a compact camp kitchen.
2. MOLLE Panel Fit-Out
The MOLLE panel isn’t just for dual cabs. Fit one behind the rear seats or even overhead in the cargo area to store knives, torches, radios, and recovery gear securely.
3. Roof Racks & Platform Trays
Boost your carrying capacity with a low-profile rack from Yakima or Front Runner. Mount your Maxtrax, solar panel, or rooftop tent — freeing up interior space for passengers or pets.
4. Lighting & Electrical
Add a 12V system to run fridges, lights, and accessories. Redarc BCDC chargers, lithium batteries, and Anderson plugs make it easy to keep everything powered, even off-grid.
4 Wheel Drive Accessories That Level Up Any LandCruiser
Whether you own a 76, 78, or 79, these 4x4 car accessories are game changers for safety, convenience, and offroad capability.
Must-Have 4WD Accessories:
Recovery Boards & Mounts: Keep your traction boards handy with a roof mount or spare tyre bracket.
Awning Setups: Enjoy shade in seconds with a side-mounted 270-degree awning. Perfect for campsites and workstations.
Drop-Down Tables: Fold-out barn door tables or side panels give you instant prep space for meals or tools.
Fridge Slides & Power Management: Access your fridge easily and keep it powered with dual battery systems and quality slides.
ARB Twin Air Compressor: Compact Power, Maximum Airflow
If you're upgrading just one accessory, the ARB Twin Air Compressor is a worthy investment. Here’s why it’s a favourite among 4WDers and overlanders:
⚡ Dual motors deliver faster inflation times
🔧 Perfect for tyre inflation, air lockers, or tools
🛡️ Sealed and thermally protected for rugged use
🧰 Can be mounted in tight spots – under seats, in drawers or under-bonnet kits
Pair it with a tank and inflation kit, and you’ve got a mobile air station that keeps you moving across sand, mud, or remote tracks.
The MOLLE Panel: Organised, Tactical, Ready to Roll
Originating from military setups, MOLLE panels (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) are becoming a go-to 4WD accessory. In a LandCruiser, these panels let you mount tools, pouches, fire extinguishers, knives, radios and more — using either Velcro or molle-compatible clips.
Mount options:
Behind front seats
Rear canopy doors
Cargo area side panels
Roof-mounted setups
They help you keep everything secure, rattle-free, and quick to access when needed.
