Blaze a Trail in a Custom LandCruiser VX!
Nothing blazes a trail like the LandCruiser, and the 300-series is the culmination of seven decades of research. But, as good as it is, it could always be better, so Mater Cars for Cancer have engaged RECRE8 and their subsidiaries to chop and change the prize LandCruiser VX to the tune of $138,431, creating the ultimate trailblazer.
I’ve written before about how legendary the Toyota LandCruiser is. Its relentless onslaught of the Australian off-roader market is testament to the marque’s ongoing development, but Toyota can’t tick every box for every comer. That’s where Recre8 Automotive Group comes in, bringing in the experience of the ASG4X4, Rambler Vehicles and Spinifex Manufacturing.
Taking a brand-new 300-series LandCruiser wagon, ASG4X4 pretty much chop the back off and the chassis clean in half. Truthfully, I’m not privy to their process and personally, but the result is a fully engineered, dual cab-converted, extended wheelbase trail blazer, and one you can win in lottery No. 121.
There are over 1000 ASG4X4-converted dual cab LandCruiser 200-series on the road, and the company brings that same expertise to the 300-series, creating the quintessential trailblazing vehicle. Once the rear wagon section is removed and the chassis stretched, they replace it with an OE-style rear wall that seamlessly integrates with the original design. A Spinifex Manufacturing Alloy Midi Body takes its place, with all the heavy-duty storage a family could need when out on those trails, blazing or otherwise.
The longer wheelbase affords greater stability, especially when towing a load, something the winner of this awesome prize will no doubt be doing once their Lifestyle Campers Fusionn Hypercamper is hitched up. It’s part of the $422,676 prize pool in Mater Cars for Cancer lottery No, 121, and a ticket for the chance to win it is just a click away.
Rambler Vehicles specced a four-inch Superior Engineering lift kit with adjustable remote reservoir shocks, adjustable in-cab at the mere touch of a button ensuring the Rambler Vehicles LandCruiser is ready for any surface you throw under it. The 35-inch Maxxis Razr AT off-road tyres won’t be scrabbling for grip anytime soon and are wrapped around a set of 18” LOADED Stockton alloys finished in dusty bronze and fully load-rated.
Up front, the 300-series LandCruiser sports a colour-matched ARB bull bar and side rail steps, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical defence against the elements. Should you wish to blaze the trail into the evening, the ARB bar has a set of Narva EX2-R LED driving lights to set the darkest trails ablaze.
The 300-series LandCruiser generates 227kw at 4000rpm and a meaty 700Nm of torque from just 1600rpm, so it’s got more than enough go to get out of its own way, even with a caravan in tow.
The Rambler Vehicles upgrades turn this well-regarded wagon into a true blazer of trails and work cohesively with the huge gamut standard features Toyota fit to the 300-series LandCruiser VX. The leather-accented interior includes heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a tilt-and-slide moon roof, four-zone climate control, 12.3” colour touchscreen display and a seven-inch multi-info display. The stereo is Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatible, so the beats are available off the beaten track.
I’ve just had word that Mater Cars for Cancer lottery draw 121 is predicted to sell out early. Like, really early. This is great; it means there are plenty of people like you supporting this important cause. Ticket sales go to funding cancer research and supporting those individuals and families for whom the cancer journey is an unfortunate reality, but who knows? With enough time, money, research, technology and luck, perhaps success in the former will mean we no longer need the latter.
Don’t miss out on this amazing, trailer-blazing prize. Just one ticket could be all you need to win this Custom LandCruiser VX valued at a total of $252,691, along with an $89,985 Lifestyle Campers Fusionn Hypercamper with MeanderWild styling package, and $75K worth of cashable gold bullion; enough for you to cash out for a while and blaze that trail wherever you want. The total package is worth $422,676, but tickets are only $30. Don’t miss out.
