I was about to say the same thing, the landcruiser looks like it came from the factory.

Absolutely! If you look at teh other video we have, there is a clip of another 70 dual cab turning on gravel cover bitumen, its obvious there is no tyre scrub, or very little! Cheers Tom

@@ltg4x452 Sounds good. I will look it up. Now I just need to find an extra piggy bank to raid! Hate to imagine how much design and prototype development was involved but I wish you all the best with this system.

It doesn't looks rear steering... buddy

@@iramasad9032 it does rear wheel steer, but it does so passively, as explained at the start of the video. Clever setup!👌

I'd like to know the cost And no mention of it meeting ADR's ( even tho it would i assume)

@@Mick_4591 don't even think of converting to 6x6 it's a waste of money. This clown has no idea what he is selling.

@@Mick_4591 even though this group doesn't show prices similar kits are about $50,000 so this one is probably like $70 ish so basically this upgrade costs as much as the vehicle itself if not more with labour and anything else

@@Mick_4591 Conversions are approved throughout Australia. And it will be in Sweden. If everything goes as expected.

@@shaynegadsden I don't know the price in that specific case. But I imagine the price is as you have found yourself. (Pretty educated guess.)

It is all custom. Perhaps. Where are you?

I think they the 79 series in Canada, some of the mines have them.

You can consider ordering from Europe. American has ordered a Land Cruiser 200 and an 80 series.

Where are you ? There are opportunities to have such a car built outside Australia. Including Europe.

@@MrProject350 I am in the Philippines. Is there an appointed dealer here that can do that?

@@whyldthing86 Hi. Nice place. I really want to visit your country. Unfortunately, now is not the time. I hope Tom LTG sees your question. I think he has / can lead you to a solution. A Dane in Sweden

Volume is the problem. You can't set up to one or 2 vehicles. You can always send it here?

Cheers!

You attracted to cars?

There is no problem welding the extension into the chassis, its how it was originally manufactured. There is a process that has to be followed however. The outer part of the chassis is a C section, and the inner part is another C section that fits into the outer. Again, its how the original chassis is constructed. Now, the join of the outer section, and the join of inner section cannot be aligned..... they are offset so there is no single point join at either end. We fit the outer in first, establishing the total length, then we fit the inner section. The inner is longer by several inches. Once those parts are "joined in", we weld the outer to the inner C sections. Then there is a single outer reinforcing plate that overlays the entire length of the extension, plus around 30cm at each end. That is welded top and bottom.... along the side.. right on the curve. Then there is an additional layer of flat steel stitch welded to the top and bottom of the chassis, again, longer than the original join points, and not starting or finishing in alignment with the outer plate either. That's how it's done. Cheers Tom

Well, the rearmost axle is a Toyota diff in a modified axle housing. The offset of the axle tubes is not the same in the 2 rear diff. The rear most diff centre is slightly closer to the drivers side, so it lines up with the drive flange on the rear of the middle diff. Both axles are track corrected to the front. The middle diff centre is in the standard location with track corrected axle tubes. The front pinion shaft has a shaft that splines into the flat face of the pinion head. This feeds power past the diff carrier to the rear side of the middle diff.

good question, that I would be interested in the answer

There is a power divider in the center axle. So the two rear axles NOT binde up / fight each other. But still 100 mechanically coupled after a few wheel degrees. My text has been corrected as I had lost the word ''NOT''

No. There is a sprag clutch in the power divider, so the rear axle is not 'hard' connected to the rear diff. They don't bind and fight each other at all. Its much more sophisticated than a couple of axle housings connected with a solid shaft.

@@ltg4x452 Sorry my English. It's not my mother tongue. So I overlooked my mistake. It is the best system available. I have corrected my mistake. Thanks LTG for pointing out my fundamental mistake. It gave the opposite meaning. All the best to you with the best system available.

There are so many models and within a model so many variations in GVM, extension length tyre size, shock type etc. With a broad brush, $60k up, but send us an email from the website and let us know you specifics. ltg4x4.com.au/product-category/6x6-conversions/

It’s still being built!

There are a range of GVM's available. So, you could have a 6000kg GVM with a 3500kg BTC. There is higher capacity model in development.

@@ltg4x452 I am looking to be able to tow a ATM 6000kg boat trailer (30 foot powercat wet)

@@kevindalton6789 Sorry, can't do with this vehicle Kevin.

@@ltg4x452 What about the Silverado 2500HD

@@kevindalton6789I’m not familiar with its figures from factory. What’s it’s std GVM and BTM braked towing mass? What year vehicle? Is it tray or tub rear?

The Braked Towing Mass remains the same at 3500 usually.

Any way to get above that with mods without importing American?

@@MangaCarta What BTM are you after?

Of course! It has a full volume federal approval.

Yes mate, we can convert the 200. Presume you want to cut it into a dual cab?

@@ltg4x452 yes chopped and convert to 6x6

The driveline is original to the center axle.

Yes Marco. What year and what GVM do you need? cheers tom

There are lot of options on a 79 6x6 build. Allow around $70,000 to start. cheers Tom

What bump steer is that mate?

It's not bump steer, I think the correct term would be roll steer. Personally I hate roll steer but don't know enough about how this drives. The point I think you're making is valid though, if the left wheels go through a dip theoretically it will steer the car to the right irrespective of steering.

@@peterassel562 Not quite. The wheel can go up and over an obstacle without having a noticeable impact on steer. The rocker arm with A arm design allows each side to pivot from the centre frame, so the relationship of distance from one wheel to the next (on one side) isn't really changing. When you have load bearing down on one side, on both axles at the same time, say when you corner or swerve, thats when the control arms change angle - which initiates roll steer.

Well you’re right, there’s no room amongst the suspension for any tanks and boxes, that’s for sure. We use coils or air bags. It’s a part of the way the whole system works. If one used leaf’s, that fixes the axles into position, the opposite of what this does. The change of axle position reduces the turning circle, reduces bogie drag on hard surfaces, drives the car round corners not straight ahead. It’s called “Bogie axle roll steer”. The air bags can be inflated to accomodate load, in fact we do have an automated ride levelling system that can be added on. That maintains height and also ride. The increase weight makes the air bags flex just the same as less load with less pressure. The ride in the dual axle is unlike a single axle vehicle, you don’t let that kick from the rear when leaf springs ride over a bump. The whole mechanism pivots and walks over each bump, every corrugation on a corrugated road. Even with no load. It’s completely different. Cheers for you thoughts Tom

@@tomhewitson6470 whats the cost and all the red tape i guess you would have to go through and meet ADR' s and all engineering ect?

You've never driven a big rig I see, as fas as varying weight is concerned airbags are the best you can get, leaf springs are the worst.

@@Mick_4591 There isn't any red tape or cost associated with the conversion, they are already have Federal Approval. You just have to submit the VIN to the Feds to have the new GVM etc applied to that vehicle. If its already registered, then one has to apply to that State authority to change the registration details, based on the Federal Approval. It needs to be inspected to make sure it complies. Its pretty simple!

Looks sick. And the gear ratios or the load on the engine drive line are fine under load of another axel drive? So an extra diff locker? Would like to see the travel and off road ability climbing hill etc. and lastly what fuel capacity per hundred? Usually about 16 litre per hundred.

Hi Steve, It has Federal Approval, and if fitted before registration, you are not modifying an existing vehicle, (until registered its an unallocated VIN) - that VIN gets registered as 6x6 from the get go. Once registered, you can apply the Federal evidence based report (that justifies the Federal Approval), in any state and it would be approved.

@@ltg4x452 Its interesting how Izuzu supplies a vehicle with NO Vin and specification plate. Its obvious it somehow works, but certainly not clear to me how you can structurally modify a existing engineered vehicle. Thanks for your reply .

@@stevecarlisle3323 wow, no VIN. That’s interesting. I don’t know how they would “manage” that vehicle as it gets imported and moved around the country. Let alone registered. They must allocate some other identifier for each one. Cheers for that info. Tom

@@tomhewitson6470my Aussie buddy, been mechanic over their 25 years, says its a prototype (DREAM), and they won't have deep enough pockets to get it engineered, and through Transport Safety in Australia.

@@tomhewitson6470 The information was gotten from the original poster. At least that,s what i got from his explanation.

Dually is better …. You think for off roading with weight? Or towing?

@@tomhewitson6470 towing. They haven't built this Toyota car into a dually I think it would lots of buyers

@@mlionea Land-Cruisers are used mainly for off-road purposes here in Australia, where tandem axles have a much lower rolling resistance and significantly higher traction in mud or sand than a dually set-up. For load carrying or towing, light and medium (usually Japanese) trucks are used in preference here.

@@tutekohe1361 oh .I get it now. We don't have a single dually in Kenya. I guess it's because we don't tow. We also use small lorries , trucks

​@@tutekohe1361what I want is to introduce a versatile truck that can be used to tow and also as an official /family/ errand vehicle here in Kenya. This would do well. Where would I get dually conversion services in Australia?

It all depends what your requirements are. If you want to take a heavy load into difficult terrain, 4x4 wont do it. Think of a small truck based exploration drill rig, fire appliance, water tanker, earthmoving support truck, offroad fuel tanker, offroad camper - there are a gazillion applications where this style of 6x6 converted vehicle will go beyond where other 4x4 or even 6x6 vehicles can. They have a range of GVM's available, the load carried can be from 1500 to 4500kg.

Wow, that's an amazing comment from someone who hasn't driven one! We'll be loading another video up soon, and I'm confident that will dispel your assumption. The handling is amazing at almost any speed and load.

How was your report?? You put even 2t on the rear it will be very dangerous.... no sway control...

For fire appliances, exploration drill rigs, water tankers, outback ambulances or heavy camper, in-fact any application where you need to get big weight into difficult offroad situations, ....... they're perfect. Far more capable than any 4x4.
