Conversion

Frame and body work

The conversion of a Land Cruiser 200 series starts by converting the 5 door SUV into a dual cab pickup truck. The second step is the replacement of the rear frame section. This is replaced by the frame section from the JMACX 6x6 conversion kit. The frame conversion of the Toyota 70 series is similar to the one of the 200 series.

Axles and 6x6 drive

AEV 6x6

2 heavy-duty axles complete this conversion. The third axle is driven via a pass-through in the second axle. A centrifugal clutch connects both rear axles and engages when the second axle loses traction. A that point, the third axle is driven.

Suspension

The rear suspension of both 6x6 conversions uses coil springs. An air suspension is optional.
