Get Fully Loaded: Essential Mods for Your Next Big Journey

When it comes to tackling Australia’s most remote tracks, preparation isn’t just important… it’s everything. Whether you’re heading on an extended off-grid escape or a high-octane weekend away, having the right setup can transform your trip from challenging to refreshingly seamless. 

While the Toyota LandCruiser Military GXL (LandCruiser 79 Series) is an efficient outback performer straight off the showroom floor, the Mater Cars for Cancer lottery No. 129 iteration has been elevated to elite status thanks to a suite of over $222K in upgrades implemented by Outback Customs. If you’re looking for a prime example of what it means to be fully loaded and ready for anything, this is it!

At the foundation of any serious touring rig is capability, and that starts with strength and reliability. The completed SSM (Second Stage Manufactured) 4200kg GVM upgrade ensures this LandCruiser can carry the weight of long-haul travel without compromise. From extra gear to extended water and fuel storage, this upgrade provides the confidence to pack everything you need for a true self-sufficient journey.

Storage and organisation are equally critical, which is where the Outback Customs Series 3 tray and canopy combination shines. Built tough for Australian conditions, this setup creates a highly functional space for tools, recovery gear, and camping essentials. It’s not just about carrying more: it’s about accessing everything easily when you need it most.

Suspension plays a massive role in both comfort and performance, especially on rough terrain. The Superior Engineering Outback Tourer bolt-in coil conversion, paired with 2.5 remote reservoir shock absorbers, delivers a significant upgrade in ride quality and off-road handling. Corrugations, rocky climbs, and long-distance touring become far more manageable, reducing driver fatigue and protecting the vehicle over time.

Of course, no off-road build is complete without the right wheels and tyres. The Loaded Gibb Bronze rims paired with Nitto Ridge Grappler 35-inch tyres provide the perfect balance of durability, traction, and styling. Whether you’re navigating mud, sand, or sharp rocky inclines, this combination ensures you stay in control.

Power is an essential element of modern touring, and the Victron 12-volt system included in this Outback Customs overhaul is built to support extended off-grid living. With a 2000-watt inverter charger, 300-amp lithium battery, and 50-amp DC-DC charging supported by solar, this setup allows you to run appliances, charge devices, and stay powered up no matter how remote your destination.

Inside the cabin, comfort meets functionality. A full RECARO seat conversion featuring Specialist S seats in cool Nardo Grey transforms long drives into a far more enjoyable experience for both driver and passengers. Paired with the upgraded Polaris 70 MAXX head unit and integrated speaker pods, the interior becomes a refined, connected space, no matter how far you roam. 

For camping convenience, The Bush Company AX27 rooftop tent and 270 XT MK2 awning create a quick and reliable outdoor living setup. Combined with practical protection from the Offroad Animal Predator bull bar and the Bushranger 12,000lb winch, you’re equipped for both relaxation and recovery. Add STEDI LED lighting, and you’ve got unmatched visibility, day to night.

Ultimately, getting fully loaded isn’t about excess, it’s about readiness. With the right modifications, your vehicle becomes more than transport; it becomes a self-sufficient basecamp capable of taking you further, for longer, and in complete confidence.

The lucky winner of Mater Cars for Cancer lottery No. 129 will not only win a Custom Toyota LC Military GXL (LandCruiser 79 Series) fully loaded with over $222K mods, but there’s also a Ezytrail Ceduna 15 Quad MK4 Caravan and $150K in gold bullion rounding out this record-breaking $553K prize package.
