TLC participates in the production category where certain equipment is mandatory. Although production vehicles are used, to ensure safety and drivability we add roll cages, 6-point seatbelts, large capacity fuel tanks, fire extinguishers and more. The replacement of major parts such as transmissions and differentials are not permitted during the rally.
The exterior modifications to the Land Cruiser 200 make it the ultimate rally machine. It is built to handle the harsh conditions of this grueling event that traverses around 10,000 km over mountainous terrain and deserts.
A revealing look into the ever-evolving TLC Land Cruiser 200 and its interior equipment.
