As the flagship off-road vehicle of the Toyota family, the Land Cruiser is one of the few players on the market that can perfectly balance off-road capability, reliability, luxury and comfort, and it is also the “ultimate destination” in the hearts of many off-road players.
Although the LC200 is not as hard-core as its predecessors, its natural power, spacious space, huge rear suspension travel, and sufficient modification potential in the later stage can still make it an out-and-out crossing weapon .
“Blackening” has become a common language in the field of modified cars in recent years. From performance cars, vans, to off-road vehicles, no matter the model, or whether it is called “Black Warrior” or “Black King Kong”, as long as it is “black”, That is handsome.
In addition to changing the color of the whole car film, this LC200 also blackened the center grille and the car logo part to eliminate all chrome-plated decorations, which is bound to distinguish it from the middle-aged and greasy.
With the blessing of ARB’s signature bullbar, the front of the car immediately presents a fierce momentum.
The bullpen type front bumper can not only minimize the damage to the vehicle body in the event of a frontal impact, but also can be equipped with supporting bumpers on both sides, which can effectively resist scratches from rocks, tree trunks and other obstacles when shuttling through narrow forest trails.
Install auxiliary lamps for off-road vehicles, not the brightest, but brighter. Five INTENSITY series spotlights from ARB cover the entire bar platform, enough to bring you a sufficient sense of security in the dead wilderness at night.
The dead weight of LC200 is close to 3 tons, which will inevitably bring a burden to field rescue, so it is particularly important to install a reliable winch.
The ZEON Platinum winch built into the front bumper can provide a maximum pulling force of 12,000 pounds. As WARN’s flagship product, in addition to having a higher level of dustproof and waterproof performance, it has a higher level of rope speed, working noise, and durability. , and supports true full-featured wireless control.
ARB chassis guard plate blessing.
Comfort is the strong point of LC200, so this advantage should be retained as much as possible in the upgrade of the suspension system. OME’s BP-51 shock absorber benefits from its built-in bypass channel structure. It is much more comfortable than most nitrogen shock absorbers when driving on daily and lightly bumpy roads. It can provide progressive support and rebound suppression, while retaining comfort, it also obtains off-road handling performance far stronger than the original shock absorber.
The tires are replaced with BFGoodrich’s latest KM3 mud tires. Compared with the old KM2, it has stronger sidewalls, better rock and mud traction, and better road performance; 285/70/R17 The size is about 3 cm larger than the diameter of the original factory, which will not damage the balance of the original car too much.
In order to make better use of the advantages of mud tires when driving with low tire pressure, it is matched with D101 negative value wheels with anti-dropping rings from FUEL, which has both performance and appearance.
Coming to the rear of the car, the Kaymar rear bumper with dual spare tires visually reveals a strong “expedition” style. After all, in the vast no-man’s land, an extra spare tire is an extra guarantee.
The rear bumper still highlights the workmanship that first-line brands should have. In addition to improving the departure angle and rear protection, it also retains the functions of the reversing radar and rear fog lights, and leaves a tow hook installation position in the middle.
In addition to the risk of tire puncture, the issue of battery life in the wild cannot be ignored. Therefore, this car is also equipped with a 170L auxiliary fuel tank from Australia LRA on the rear of the rear axle. The fuel in the auxiliary fuel tank alone is enough to allow the LC200 to travel nearly 1,000 kilometers. However, fuel is flammable and explosive after all, so the modification of the fuel tank needs to be cautious. A mature sub-tank product, from structural design, shell material, welding process, to accessories matching, should go through meticulous research and a series of tests, so as to ensure reliable sealing and durability.
In order to increase the loading capacity required by the LC200 during long-distance trekking, a Rhino’s flat-top luggage box is also installed on the roof. Abandoning the fence around the traditional luggage box can not only reduce the height and weight of the vehicle body, but also greatly reduce the wind noise of high-speed driving, and a series of special fixing components of Rhino can also ensure the stability and firmness of rescue equipment and material luggage.
In general, the LC200, supported by a group of top-level modified parts, can bring you the top-level off-road experience whether you are wandering in the mountains or in the wilderness. The so-called ultimate crossing weapon is nothing more than that.
