GALLERY: Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series

THE aptly named ‘Thug Truck’ is perhaps the meanest 79 Series making tracks on Australian dirt.

The immaculate set-up, pieced together by owner, Blake Oldham, has been reworked both inside and out to make it one of the most capable 4x4s on the planet.

More than a few pennies have been spent on the rig since Blake left the showroom floor, but the results clearly speak for themselves.

The daily-driven Cruiser sports 37-inch tyres, has had a rear coil conversion, and its 4.5-litre V8 pumps out 204rwhp and 680Nm. Read the full review here.
