This is What a 5-inch Lift Looks Like on a 79 Series! Australia’s BIGGEST Lift

From stock farm truck to Australia’s only legal option for 37” tyres for 79 series! This build takes it to another level with a Superior Engineering Coil Conversion giving it a 5-inch lift and 37-inch tyres—completely transforming how this Landcruiser drives off-road. Brent walks through every upgrade that’s transformed this facelifted 70 series into a fully kitted-out touring and off-road beast.

If you're considering a coil conversion for your 79 Series dual cab or looking for inspiration for your own Land Cruiser build, this video breaks down everything—from suspension and bar work to interior, power upgrades, and touring accessories.
