Why should driving your Toyota Land Cruiser 1998-07 commercially be all work and no fun? The joy of being the owner of a 105 Series is the chance to customise your setup, with a range of upgrades available to take your Cruiser to the very next level. The Toyota Land Cruiser 105 Series offers an ideal base for improvement as ConsumerGuide details:
“Despite the Land Cruiser’s still-hefty curb weight, its V8 engine is muscular enough to deliver brisk acceleration, helped by prompt, smooth shifts from the automatic transmission. A test model accelerated to 60 mph in a surprisingly swift 9 seconds. Wind and road noise in a Land Cruiser can be noticeable–mainly because the V8 is so well-muted…”
With its predecessor, the Land Cruiser 80 Series, popular in the bush, the 105 Series could be a superstar on the work scene with the following upgrades.
Brake performance
One area where improvements are more of a necessity than a luxury is the Cruiser’s brake system. The model’s OE brakes just don’t cut it, especially if your vehicle is used commercially.
For effective friction response to pedal application with low wear and minimal dust, DBA Street Performance should be your go-to. Their front brake pads and rear brake pads have been designed with performance in mind, and are a cut above traditional OE brakes and other upgrade alternatives.
Traction control
Make your Cruiser even more capable across all terrains by adding AVM Free Wheeling Hubs to the mix. This upgrade is easy to install and simple to use, and is your ticket to reduced driveline wear and minimal rolling resistance.
With a quick twist of the hub’s lever, you can disengage the axle shaft from the wheel assembly for road use and re-engage for off-roading, and it’ll make all the difference to your driving experience – especially if your job takes you off the beaten track.
Exterior styling
Many Cruiser owners choose to differentiate their 105 Series from the crowd with a few exterior styling improvements. Kut Snake Wheel Arches are the perfect additions, and don’t just look the part. These top quality, UV stable ABS wheel arches are tough and ultra-flexible to ensure a lasting finish.
Custom suspension
Another way to finetune your driving experience for work or play is with a fully integrated, high-end suspension upgrade. The vehicle-specific Terrain Tamer Suspension Kit features everything you need (including optional heavy duty springs or firmer valved shock absorbers at no extra cost!) to tailor your Cruiser’s setup to your exacting needs.
Our engineers will select and assemble your kit so it is right for your vehicle build and usage patterns. Terrain Tamer suspension kits are already popular choices for overlanders and commercial users, and are designed to withstand the harshest conditions while ensuring optimal ride and handling.
