The build in detail
Front bumper and winch
At the front sits an AFN winch bumper for the Land Cruiser J7 with a bolted, removable bull bar. It houses a WARN ZEON XP 12 winch with 5,443 kg pulling capacity and synthetic rope, WARN's premium model. Completed by wireless remote control, a ZEON socket extension, a battery isolator and a Flatlink snatch block.
Raised air intake
A genuine Toyota J7 snorkel draws air from above and is fitted watertight.
See and be seen
PIAA LPX570 LED driving lights on the front bumper, road-legal OSRAM LED headlight bulbs with up to 230 percent more brightness and a TÜV report, plus Osram Night Breaker H4 LED. A stone chip film protects the headlights.
Recovery boards and gear
MaxTrax recovery boards sit in a mount on the existing airline rails at the side. Added to that is an ARB Premium Recovery Kit with snatch strap, tree trunk protector, winch extension strap, shackles and snatch block.
Hidden radio
Hidden in the dashboard: a CB radio system with CRT Mike II and President Randy III, plus a Solarcon antenna on the front bumper's hoop and matching accessories.
Corrosion protection and value
For long-term protection of the frame and body, the Land Cruiser received the TimeMAX package for long wheelbase with cavity sealing and underbody protection, including rust removal and follow-up treatment.
