2025 may have seen the launch of the new Land Cruiser, but for us, nothing beats a classic! The Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series is particularly iconic. Manufactured from 2007 right up until 2021, its long production run is testament to its popularity. For overlanding enthusiasts, the fact that the 200 Series is big on size and practicality is just the beginning. WhichCar? explains more about its capabilities when travelling off the beaten track:
“For such an accomplished and well-rounded 4×4, the 200 Series is surprisingly capable in the rough stuff. Ground clearance of 230mm is good, without being exceptional, but it does a great job of keeping its extremities out of harm’s way. Similarly, the 32-degree approach angle and 24-degree departure angle (the location of the spare tyre underneath does not help the latter on sand dunes) work impressively.”
All these off-road perks are there to be built on, with a wide range of upgrades ready and waiting to refine your ride ahead of your next adventure. Here are the enhancements you should start with…
ARB Outback Modular Drawer Storage System
Even the most generous spaces need to be organised to really make the most of every inch. One way to do just that is with an ARB Outback Modular Drawer Storage System. This particular unit has been designed and developed specifically for the 200 Series, ensuring the perfect fit and a high quality storage solution that’ll cater to all your overlanding needs.
Like all ARB drawer systems, it’s completely configurable and with this, can be adapted for adventure and commercial applications. It’s also extremely hard-wearing to guarantee a durable system that stands the test of time, even in the face of commercial use and overland travel.
Powerbrake X-Line Big Brake Kit
Prime the brakes of your Land Cruiser for bigger and better things by switching your OE system with our Powerbrake X-Line Big Brake Kit.

It is particularly ideal for vehicles loaded with upgrades, overlanding gear or heavy freight loads.
ARB Solis 9 Inch LED Dimmable Spot and Flood Lights
There are many advantages to adding off-road lighting to your rig. 4×4 lighting is a fantastic way to keep the adventure going that little bit longer. It’ll also increase your visibility and safety when conditions aren’t the best, helping you navigate your Cruiser with ease while minimising several risks. The addition of an LED light bar or spotlights looks pretty good too!
Our ARB Solis 9 Inch LED Dimmable Spot and Flood Lights put practicality and style first, with an ultra-high output lighting solution that’s suitable for all driving conditions. These lights are also packed with a ton of innovative features, including changeable die-cast bezels and a 5-stage dimmer function.

Tough, durable and fully integrated, the Old Man Emu OME Ultimate BP-51 Suspension Lift Kit is one of the best custom suspension kits money can buy.
This kit is ideal for on- and off-road use, and solves many of the problems that come with putting too much pressure on your 200 Series’ factory suspension. Give your Land Cruiser a setup that’s primed for adventure by exploring this Old Man Emu suspension upgrade.
Long Ranger Diesel Fuel Tank
Keep that overland trip going by equipping your Land Cruiser with the Long Ranger Diesel Fuel Tank. This diesel auxiliary tank offers an extra 180 litres to play with as well as a vehicle-specific, aluminised steel construction, meaning you can fill up with great quality fuel and overland to your heart’s content.
Extended range tanks are fantastic choices for remote area and long distance travel, and with less frequent fuel stops or detours, you can focus on enjoying every bit of your journey.
