Terrain Tamer 3D moulded floor mats

RRP: $275

Terrain Tamer has launched a range of 3D moulded floor mats that are currently available for Toyota HiLux KUN/GUN models and LandCruiser 78/79 Series models.

The mats feature an anti-skid safety base that secures them to the vehicle without damaging the original carpet. The embossed contour design also traps fluid and debris from shoes, preventing it from spreading through the vehicle.
