Why Aussies Love the 76 and 79 Series LandCruiser
Before we get into the accessories, it’s worth understanding why the LandCruiser 76 Series and 79 Series Dual Cab are so highly rated.
Built to last: With solid axles, body-on-frame construction, and tried-and-true diesel engines, these rigs are built for punishment.
Outback ready: Designed with Australia’s toughest terrain in mind, they excel on corrugated roads, remote trails, and muddy tracks.
Aftermarket-friendly: There’s a massive range of aftermarket Toyota Land Cruiser accessories available right here in Australia.
Work or play: From FIFO tradies to weekend warriors, everyone has a use for the 70 Series.
With all that capability, it makes sense to upgrade these vehicles to suit your lifestyle. Let’s dive into some of the top accessories.
Performance Upgrades for Power and Reliability
If you’ve spent any time in a stock 79 Series Dual Cab or 76 Series LandCruiser, you know they’re built tough—but they’re not exactly quick off the line. Here are some of the most sought-after performance upgrades:
1. Exhaust Systems and Snorkels
A high-flow stainless steel exhaust helps improve airflow, torque, and fuel economy. Pair it with a snorkel, and your Land Cruiser 76 Series is ready for water crossings and dust-heavy trails.
Why it matters: Australia’s dusty inland roads and deep creek crossings demand more than stock gear. These upgrades protect your engine and give it room to breathe.
2. ECU Remapping or Diesel Tuners
For those chasing more grunt, ECU remapping or a reliable diesel tuner can unlock serious power and torque. When towing heavy loads in your 79 Series Dual Cab, the added performance makes a noticeable difference.
Pro tip: Make sure the tuning is done by professionals who specialise in LandCruiser accessories—don’t risk your engine on cheap remaps.
Suspension and Handling: Built for Aussie Tracks
3. Heavy-Duty Suspension Kits
Whether you’re carrying a canopy full of tools or loading up the camper trailer, the factory suspension doesn’t always cut it. Upgrading to a 2” or 3” lift with quality shocks and coils improves ride comfort and handling.
For tradies: The 79 Series Dual Cab is often used as a workhorse. Proper suspension keeps things level, especially when loaded with gear.
For tourers: The 76 Series LandCruiser is a popular touring rig. A suspension lift not only improves clearance but also enhances long-distance comfort.
Touring and Camping Accessories: Be Ready Anywhere
4. Roof Racks and Storage Solutions
A rugged roof rack or platform is essential for hauling swags, jerry cans, or rooftop tents. There are also LandCruiser 76 Series -specific racks that perfectly fit the contours of the roof, keeping everything secure on the go.
Pair it with: A rear drawer setup or Kaon shelf inside your 76 or 79—perfect for keeping your gear sorted and accessible.
5. Dual Battery Systems and 12V Fitouts
Keeping your fridge running and your lights on during those long bush stays? You’ll need a proper dual battery setup.
79 Series Dual Cab owners often use the extra tray space for battery boxes and solar setups. A Redarc system with DC-DC charging is a popular pick for serious tourers.
6. Rear Door Tables & Drop-Down Setups
If you’re running a LandCruiser 76 Series, a troopy rear door table or drop-down bench makes for a brilliant prep station. Combine with MOLLE panels for additional storage and versatility.
Interior Accessories: Comfort Meets Function
7. Custom Consoles and Storage
The factory interior of the 70 Series is famously basic. Fortunately, there are stacks of upgrades available—from full-length centre consoles with USB charging, cup holders, and storage bins to overhead shelves for radios and maps.
Comfort tip: Adding sound deadening, new seat covers, and upgraded mats can make a massive difference on long hauls.
8. Dash Organisers and Switch Panels
With all the added accessories—lights, compressors, fridges—you’ll need a tidy spot for your switches. Custom dash pods and panels keep things neat, accessible, and factory-looking.
External Accessories: Rugged and Ready
9. Bull Bars and Rear Bars
A good bull bar isn’t just for looks—it’s a must-have for protection against roos, scrub, and the unexpected. Choose from steel or alloy options with integrated winches, recovery points, and aerial mounts.
Rear bars are equally valuable—some come with swing-away spare holders and jerry mounts, ideal for long-distance travel in your Land Cruiser 76 Series.
10. Canopies and Trays
One of the biggest transformations for a 79 Series Dual Cab is the switch from a tub to a custom tray and canopy setup. With options ranging from basic aluminium trays to fully decked-out touring canopies, this upgrade is about function, security, and appearance.
Must-Have Safety and Recovery Gear
11. Recovery Points and Winches
You’re not going to get far off-road without solid recovery points and a quality winch. Always opt for tested gear that suits your model. Rated recovery points are a must, especially if you’re tackling remote areas.
12. Tyre Upgrades and Inflation Kits
The right tyres are everything. A set of all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres can transform your 70 Series Cruiser. Don’t forget a reliable onboard air compressor (like the ARB Twin) for airing up after the tracks.

FAQs: Toyota Land Cruiser Accessories

Not always. While some gear like seat covers or dash accessories may fit across models, many parts are specific to the 76 Series wagon or 79 Series Dual Cab. Always check fitment details before buying.
Q: What’s the first mod I should do on my 76 or 79?
We recommend starting with suspension and basic protection gear—think bull bar, recovery points, and upgraded shocks. From there, build out based on how you use your Cruiser (work, touring, off-road).

Absolutely. From comfort to functionality, interior upgrades (consoles, shelves, 12V setups) make life on the road much easier—especially in such a barebones cabin.

Yes—so long as the parts are ADR-compliant and installed correctly. Always buy from reputable suppliers and, where needed, get professional installation.
