A UTE or Flatbed version of the Toyota LandCruiser 200 series, are now avalible through the Australien company Wide Bay Motor Bodies. While this aint the best looking design for a 200 series, looks dont really matter when it comes to this kind of 4X4. Wide Bay Motor Bodies makes a lot of other conversion of these types, so make sure you check out their website.

ARB commercial bars for Toyota LandCruiser 200 (product code 3415100) is the rough model most of us end up buying, because function comes before form. I have taken a few pics from their website, and below you can see some of the technical details on the ARB Bull Bars. Compared to the 200 Series deluxe bar, its almost the same function, but without the design, colour coding and urethane buffers. But who can honestly say they need that for real Off Road action?

To honor 60 years on the road in Japan, Toyota have made a 60th anniversary Toyota LandCruiser 200 model. The Land Cruiser is a exclusive black design, that I am sure fits the buyers. I am waiting for the last details on this model, but will keep you informed as soon as I get my hands on them.

When looking for a long range auxiliary fuel tank or long range replacement fuel tank, the australian company called The Long Ranger(thelongranger.com.au) is a safe place to start looking. With that kind of fuel cell, you can get a capacity of as much as 180 liters (47,5 US gallons). They have models for a long list of auto brands, but since our site focus on the LandCruiser 200 model, I will stick to listing those tanks.

I hope its usefull information to you LC200 owners out there, because it took a lot of time. Find your local Distributor here.
Note: Due to the front to rear rake of this vehicle, the rear can ONLY be lifted 20mm. The front will come up 40mm to level the vehicle out.

These are a few pics or installing a ARB rear bumper on the Toyota LandCruiser 200. I found the pictures in the IHMud land Cruiser forum. I thought this would be relevant for some of you, since its often a needed installation for those of us who go off road. It’s two different links, where the first is good picture of the endresult, and the other is a complete guide to how you install the ARB rear bumper on your 200 LandCruiser.

For those with a Lexus LX 570 who would like a bit more power, and dont go off road to often, the tuning company named Asi might have what you need. Going from zero to 100 km/h, now takes less than 5 seconds in your Lexus 570.
The details of what transforms the Lexus SUV’s 5.7-liter V-8 engine, from the stock 380 hp to around 600 hp, still havent been disclosed yet. But judging from a video I have seen, it sounds a lot like a supercharger have been involved. ASI calls the demo car “Invader” – I would call it “Darth Invader”. Visit their website www.asi-as.com for more information.
