Nobody buys a 70 Series LandCruiser for the creature comforts.
You buy it because it's one of the toughest 4WDs on the planet. Solid axles, a chassis that shrugs off corrugations, and a reputation earned everywhere from cattle stations to the Canning. It's the truck that gets you there and back.
But spend a few hours behind the wheel and you'll notice what Toyota left out. And with order books for the 2026 autos finally open again after a ten-month pause, there's a whole new wave of owners about to notice the same things.
Here's the good news: every one of them has a fix. Designed here, made here, and built to the same standard as the truck itself.
Problem 1: One cup holder. Two people.
You see the issue. The factory gives you a single cup holder, and it's an awkward reach at that. On a long haul between towns, that's a coffee balanced between someone's knees or wedged against the seat. In a $75k-plus vehicle.
The fix: a cup holder each.
The Captain sits on the driver's side, right where your drink should have been all along. The Passenger sorts out the other seat. Both are made in Australia from tough automotive-grade ABS, designed specifically for the 70 Series β not a universal holder zip-tied to a vent. They fit like they came with the truck.
Grab the pair and the his-and-hers argument over the factory holder is done for good. (Note for Shelby: your "Passenger & Captain" bundle is sitting in draft on Shopify β publish it and link it here for an easy upsell.)
Problem 2: Nowhere to rest your arm
The 70 Series is a truck you drive all day. Station work, touring, the big lap β hours and hours at the wheel. And Toyota gives your elbow... nothing. Anyone who's done serious kilometres in one knows the ache that creeps into your shoulder by mid-afternoon.
The fix: The Wingman, our Australian-made armrest built for the 70 Series. Available in black or grey, with options to suit the 76 wagon and 79 dual cab, plus the 75/79 single cab and 78 Troopy. It's the difference between arriving fresh and arriving sore, and once it's in, you'll wonder how you did without it.
Problem 3: The gearstick stretch
Short sticks might look tidy, but they put the shifter further from your hand than it needs to be. Every gear change is a lean forward. Multiply that by a day of touring and it gets old quick.
The fix: the GearStick Extender brings the shifter up to meet your hand. Pick your length, pick your colour β from Graphite Grey to Merlot Red if you're feeling fancy β and there's a 1-inch option to suit the transfer case selector too. Small change, big difference.
Problem 4: The ashtray nobody uses
Front and centre in the dash: an ashtray. It's 2026. You're more likely to need switches for your driving lights, fridge, or compressor than somewhere to stub out a durry.
The fix: the OE Style Switch Panel replaces the ashtray in 2009β2023 models with a factory-look panel for your accessory switches. Clean, functional, and it looks like Toyota should have done it themselves.
Why Aussie made matters
Plenty of 70 Series accessories are churned out overseas as universal fits. Ours aren't. We're an Australian family business, and our 70 Series range is designed and manufactured right here β by people who actually drive these trucks on the roads (and non-roads) they're built for.
That means gear that fits properly, handles Aussie heat and dust, and doesn't rattle itself to pieces on the first corrugated stretch. It also means when you buy from us, you're backing local manufacturing β something we reckon is worth doing.
Sort the cab in one hit
If you're starting from a bare cab β or you've got a new 2026 build on order and a few months to wait β the smart move is to sort it all at once:
- The Captain + The Wingman for the driver's side
- The Passenger so your co-pilot stops eyeing off your cup holder
- GearStick Extender to finish it off
Your 70 Series will still be tough as nails. It'll just be comfortable, too.
Free shipping on orders over $150 β which the cup holder pair gets you there. Shipped within 48 hours from our Aussie warehouse.
