Elevate your Suzuki Jimny with a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series style body kit
The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series is one of the enduring vehicles from the 1980s that continues to be produced today.
The reason is simple: even in its standard specifications, it is tough and capable of conquering any terrain.
While there are not many places left on Earth that still offer the Land Cruiser 70 Series, if you are looking for something similar, this is your answer.
The 70YO.70 body kit, developed by Japanese experts Jimmy Land in collaboration with tuning garage Ill, brings a mini version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series.
A Mini Version of the Land Cruiser 70 Series
Unlike the typical body kits seen for the Jimny, this modification styled after the 70 Series is much more comprehensive, particularly at the front.
Some notable changes include:
- A thicker hood structure
- A 70YO.70 badge that resembles TOYOTA from a distance
- Round LED headlights
- Turn signal lights
- A distinctive grille
Additionally, several extra touches have been added to this Jimny to enhance the Land Cruiser 70 Series image, such as:
- Side air vents
- Faux grille at the rear
- Decorative AdBlue cover (even though the Jimny actually still uses a petrol engine!)
Based on the provided images, this body kit also appears to be well-suited for the five-door version of the Jimny.
Extra Accessories
In addition to the features mentioned above, Jimny owners can pair the 70YO.70 body kit with off-road accessories.
These options include snorkels, alloy rims fitted with all-terrain tires, and an upgraded suspension system for increased height.
Engine Specifications Remain Standard
Despite the Land Cruiser 70 Series styling changes, the Jimny retains its standard 1.5L inline four-cylinder naturally aspirated engine, producing 101 hp.
It definitely lacks the power of the Land Cruiser with its 2.8-liter turbo diesel engine.
Power is transmitted to all wheels through either a manual or automatic transmission, both compatible with a 4WD system.
Ready-Made Versions Priced at RM106,000
It has been reported that a few ready-made units have already begun to sell in the Japanese market, available in Sand Beige, White, and Black colors.
The retail price for this particular Beige Jimny is listed at ¥4,250,000 (about RM106,154).
