4x4 Products We Use & Recommend
Available for all popular brands and models.https://www.mm4x4.com.au/Developed and manufactured in Adelaide, South Australia. A little bit of research and contact with Marshall and Michelle (MM4x4) and you'll learn pretty quickly why this is the best lock up kit on the market and why we chose to run it in our Moon Tours LC200.lockup-mate®PLUS+ is a torque converter clutch (TCC) lockup kit designed specifically for the Toyota automatic transmission and uses digital communication with the vehicle ECU, making it the most intelligent lockup kit available.- I reckon everyone should have one of these in their touring vehicle, especially when fully loaded and towing.We love the Ultragauge MX as it has all the standard features with the unique added ability to access non-standard manufacturer specific gauges, such as transmission pan and torque converter temperature, EGT, Boost and more.Last night on my home with a one hour highway drive the LC200 went into limp mode with an EGR code. Cleared it with the UltraGauge and away we went. Yes, I reckon everyone should have this in modern 4WD's.We have the UltraGauge fitted to our 2018 Landcruiser 200 as well as Ron's brand new 78 series troopy. Both cam with additional preprogrammed gauges; Trans Pan temp, Torque Converter temp, Exhaust Gas temp and more. This is by far the most comprehensive and best value for money gauge on the market and available for most modern vehicles.Essentially the gauge will fit and work straight out of the box on all modern vehicles, however Kristian at Precise Auto (Aussie importer and distributor) offer vehicle specific selection with additional manufacturer gauges preprogrammed in house.The UltraGauge MX is provided pre-programmed with 8 common manufacturer parameters for various vehicles along with dozens of other helpful standardised gauges. There is no guarantee that all the pre-programmed parameters will work with your year, make and model vehicle. Those that are not supported by your vehicle will show “Err:*Pillar mount sold separately.
- We have SANDGRABBA floor mats in both our Landcruiser 79 and 200 series and have been running with them for a couple of yeas now.

Top quality and made right here in Australia.We're also running the SANDGRABBA dash mat in the 200.The SANDGRABBA floor mat system is moulded in a quality Poly/Rubber compound precisely to the shape of the vehicle floor. The unique ridge design catches sand, mud and liquid spillages to protect the car carpet.
- Unique ridge design catches the muck

- Non-skid foam backing stops movement and is gentle on carpet

- We have one of these fitted to our 200 series Landcruiser and love it. Technically you do not get more horse power but wowee it sure feels like it. I love the different modes for different purposes and terrain, in particular the inlet manifold and Carbon Cleaning Mode along with a Security Feature which disables the throttle if someone were to try steal away and start your pride and joy.The M81 Throttle Controller represents the very latest in throttle controller technology, packaged in the neatest form factor and featuring an industry leading full colour high resolution TFT LCD screen. Equipped with all the settings you need and none you don't, the M81 Throttle Controller provides a supremely simple solution to the most common needs for a modified throttle profile.Traditional throttles were simply operated by a cable running from the accelerator pedal to the throttle itself, attached to a ‘wheel’ or bell crank. Pushing the pedal would pull the cable, and in turn pull the wheel attached to the throttle blade, letting more air into the engine. While the axis of the throttle wheel could be changed and preset by the manufacturer, this is like playing piano with a broom, as the interaction between foot and engine opening is fixed. Modern cars using electronic controlled throttles (or referred to as Drive By Wire) open up to the possibility of tuning the pedal-throttle relationship, allowing the driver to completely transform the character of the vehicle.

- We've been running MSA products for almost 10 years and have put them through the ultimate test of endurance. We recently removed a set of MSA seat covers that had been protecting leather upholstery for eight years. They were like new underneath.We also run with MSA mirrors on the 79 series. After trying both major brands there is no doubt we prefer the MSA mirrors, they're more compact for tight scrub, look better and way way stronger than anything else. We even lay the 79 on it's side which landed on the RH mirror, pushing it in and breaking the divers window. The mirrors were fine!Tinnie
- We have been running KONI shocks on our vehicles for years and currently have them fitted to a Landcruiser, Patrol, Hilux and a couple of muscle cars. Why? Because they are simply the best conventional shock on the market. They were the best 20-30 years ago and still are today.You can have shocks as big as you like with remote reservoir canisters but at the end of the day it is the internal valving that makes all the difference. More so than even spring rates when it comes to ride quality.Put simply, springs keep are car off the ground while shocks keep it on the ground. As a kid I remember play equipment at the local park, a used car coil spring with a seat on it, if you know what I mean you get the idea when I say this is what it'd be like in your car without shocks.There are few shocks on the market that will control a spring, keeping the car connected to the road with a combination of ride quality and performance like a KONI shock.When the going gets tough, long distance corrugations being the worst, KONI shocks will perform as well as any remote res shock and dissipate heat just as much heat with out the need for having additional hoses, fittings and canisters vulnerable underneath your vehicle. Not to say that remote res shocks are bad, in general you get what you pay for, we like to keep it simple where we can and KONI shocks do that for us. In general, touring vehicles do not need a race bread designed dual canister shock if you invest in shocks like KONI. If you're building a trophy truck for Finke, fine. Custom, long travel remote res shocks are essential. In my humble opinion, a good quality mono tube shock on a touring vehicle is all you need.
- We've been running on Mickey Thompson rubber for a few years now with multiple sets of the discontinued ATZ P3 which have since been replaced by the now, Baja Boss.I'm (Trent) on my second set for the LC79 and Hilux and I won't be swapping them out anytime soon. It is fair to say that my tyres get a real drubbing, I run them lower than most for extra grip which is easier on my drive train and all with excessive weight over extreme terrain for extended periods. Some say I might do 5-10 years of extreme off road travel for a fairly serious touring customer in one year.I love the side biters, flexible strong side wall and grip. None of the off road tyres are going to be as quiet as standard O/E fare on 200/300 series Landcruiser but you'd never be allowed on one of our ours if you had them on either.To get the most out of my tyres I don't replace them all every year, doing what I do I generally invest in four tyres a year. Obviously an average punter is going to get more out of their tyres. Remember this is commercial use and by no means are they stuffed after a year, I rotate them onto the trailer and into spares. And I personally never rotate my brand new spares (if I have them) into the mix until I have too.Generally when it comes time to for a new set I'll have one or two brand new or close to brand spares on the truck to throw into the mix. My priority is for the tow vehicle, utilising the two best used tyres onto my trailer while collecting myself one or two carcasses as emergency spares for the guide vehicles when I end up with them.As a matter of fact, my trailer still has at least on old Mickey Thompson ATZ P3 fitted to it right now. The tyres on your van do not succumb to anywhere near the same treatment as your vehicle tyres, so next time your due for a set on the truck consider throwing your two best second hand ones onto the camper and keeping one or two as spares if possible. Get the rotation going and your pocket won't hurt so much when you're up for a full set of eight...ouch (4x vehicle, 2x trailer, 2x spares)
- There would few people who have spent as many nights in their roof top tent as I have. Literally 100's of nights, conservatively 120 days per year since 2020 (I was lucky enough to be travelling freely in Queensland and the NT during COVID) that's close to 500 nights and my Bush Company Alpha (now the AX27) still goes and up down like it did on day one.I absolutely love the double layer canvas which blacks out the light, helps with insulation and condensation, huge airy windows, plenty of power outlets and storage pockets inside not to mention the massive verandah which is especially good when it rains!Massive pay load on the rood and plenty of accessory mounts for incorporated channels.
