Aftermarket car modification shops often keep coming up with enticing conversions of regular vehicles
This has to be the first Toyota Hilux in India, which has been converted to a Land Cruiser LC300. Hilux is a mega-successful global product from the Japanese carmaker. In India, it has not achieved the kind of demand that Toyota would’ve anticipated. Still, it is a mighty capable off-roader. On the other hand, the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300 is one of the most popular and luxurious products in Toyota’s global portfolio. In fact, many celebrities across the globe have it in their garages. For now, let us take a look at the details of this instance.
India’s First Toyota Hilux Converted to Land Cruiser LC300
This post stems from autodaddycustomers on Instagram. The visuals capture the front section of what looks like the Toyota Land Cruiser LC300. The fascia contains a massive grille with thick horizontal chrome slabs. These are flanked by sleek LED DLRs on either side, along with a sporty black area around them. The aggressive front section continues with a rugged bumper underneath and fog lamp housings on either end. In all likelihood, it is a genuine kit which is directly installed on the Hilux.
That is something we see quite often. Car shops have established impressive ties with suppliers in the last few years. As a consequence, they directly import original body kits for various vehicles. This allows them to transform any car into just about any other model. In this case, the side section contains squarish wheel arches and colossal alloy wheels. The side steps enhance the ingress and egress traits of the pickup. At the rear, we get a similar cargo compartment, which is there on the Hilux. That is when one can confirm the original model.
My View
I must admit this is one of the best conversions of the Toyota Hilux to Land Cruiser LC300 I have come across in a long time. From the front, it would take someone eagle-eyed to distinguish this from the regular LC300. However, the side section gives away its true identity. In any case, for all those who want to make their Hilux stand apart from the crowd, this emerges as a great method. Still, I would advise our readers to consult their local RTOs before going for any such customization.
