EBC Brakes makes a good set of disks for your LandCruiser V8. The sparepartnumber is GD7436, and can be bought through their network of resellers. Check out their website www.ebcbrakes.com for details.

The matching breakpads for the mentioned EBC brake disks is DP41815R (EBC Yellowstuff KEVLAR Brake Pads). It’s a good brake upgrade kit for your LandCruiser, in case you need it for stopping heavy loads or other breake-heavy operations.

Depending on your region, EBC usually ship great instructions for replacing both disks and breakpads, with both pictures and detailed descriptions.

Right now I am working on a Nissan Patrol (.. yes, I know, its not a Toyota) where we will be using a similar model brakedesign.

TJM have released news about their redesigned Bull bars for the Toyota LandCruiser 200 series. It’s the T3 Steel model in the images you see below. If any of you readers have one of these models on your LandCruiser, please send me a picture and review, so we can get a little more data. The TJM T3 Steel Bull bar is a BUMPER REPLACEMENT BAR – so there is no cutting to make it fit, its mounted using only regular tools, and can be done without any experiance (but you do need a set of strong arms).

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?

Fitting time is said to be around …Read the rest of this entry

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.

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.
