Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Series Receives Some Tough Love From Arctic Trucks

The Toyota Land Cruiser Series 300 is a pretty capable vehicle however Arctic Trucks’ job is to take off-roaders to another level and this is what they did with their LC300 AT35.

Visually, the first thing you notice is the beefier all-terrain 35-inch tires, mounted on 17-inch alloy wheels. These are combined with a set of delicious front and rear fender extensions, mudflaps, Arctic Trucks logos, and stickers.

More importantly, the suspension has been upgraded with new front and rear dampers and springs, without losing the electronically controlled functions.

Thanks to the chassis upgrades and the new wheels, ground clearance has been increased to 260-270 mm (10.2-10.6 inches) depending on the powertrain variant, which is an extra 40 mm (1.6 inches) compared to the stock Land Cruiser. This change has benefits to the SUV’s off-road credentials allowing for an extra 5 degrees in both the approach (37 degrees) and departure (30 degrees) angles.

The tracks have also been widened by 320 mm (12.6 inches) to 1,840 mm (72.4 inches). Anti-corrosion treatment has been applied to body seams since this 4×4 will be spending a lot of time in damp environments. Optional equipment includes a snorkel and a 5.6-tonne winch.

The upgraded model was launched in Russia, showcasing its abilities in the snow, but it will also be available in other markets like the United Arab Emirates. Arctic Trucks hasn’t announced pricing for the upgrades yet. Judging from the company’s previous offerings, we should be expecting even more extreme modifications for the Land Cruiser 300 Series in the future.
