At Golden Plains Mechanical, we recently had the pleasure of working on a brand-new pre-rego 79 Series LandCruiser. The customer wanted to get the most out of their investment from day one — with more payload capacity, improved handling, and a tougher stance.
This meant one thing: a GVM upgrade to 4,040kg, paired with MRA Fully Adjustable Shocks, plus a set of standout new wheels and tyres.
The factory 79 Series has its limits, especially if you’re planning to carry heavy loads or set it up for touring. Our customer wanted:
GVM Upgrade to 4,040kg
We carried out a certified Gross Vehicle Mass upgrade, ensuring the LandCruiser is legal, safe, and capable of carrying more load without compromise.
MRA Fully Adjustable Shocks
The installation of MRA shocks transformed the ride. With adjustability built in, the owner can fine-tune the suspension for different driving conditions, whether loaded up for work, cruising the highway, or heading off-road.
Wheel & Tyre Upgrade
A new set of all-terrain tyres and wheels not only improved performance and safety, but also gave the 79 Series a rugged new look. As overheard in the workshop — “It looks the goods!”
