Do you own a Toyota Landcruiser 78 Series? Are you carrying heavy loads or extra weight in the rear? Upgrade your Toyota Landcruiser with one of our GVM upgrade kits. By increasing your GVM, you can take your 4x4 to the next level and tackle any adventure with all the gear you need, without worrying about exceeding your allowable GVM.

As a 4WD owner or 4x4 enthusiast, we understand that you may like to load up your Toyota Landcruiser, whether it be for work or when you are hitting the tracks on the weekend. With a Ute full of tools or a car full of equipment and 4x4 gear, the weight of your vehicle may be nearing the legal maximum Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) if it has not already surpassed it. When a vehicle exceeds the allowable GVM, the safety of the vehicle and everyone inside is at risk, which is why overloading is illegal and very dangerous. With one of our GVM upgrade kits, your Landcruiser can carry extra weight with confidence, providing you and your family with complete comfort and safety.

At Fulcrum Suspensions, we make it our top priority to deliver excellent service, providing only the best products to our customers. Our GVM kits have been meticulously tested in some of the harshest conditions and environments to ensure your Landcruiser receives the best possible GVM upgrade, improving your overall driving experience. As Australia’s number one suspension specialist, our team of expert technicians and engineers have also reviewed, tested and approved our complete range of GVM upgrade kits, ensuring they are of very high quality.

Our GVM kits suit all Toyota Landcruiser 78 Series owners who carry loads that are approaching 1600kg, including mining companies, farmers, tradesmen, and off-road enthusiasts. The Toyota Landcruiser GVM upgrades meet both practical and documentary compliance requirements of Police Licensing, Insurance, Work Safety, Lessors and Fleet Managers. Each of our upgrade kits have been assessed through a long and strict process, ensuring an improvement in performance, ride handling, load carrying and comfort.

All GVM upgrade kits are supplied with detailed fitting instructions and appropriate documentation. These kits also include all necessary components and parts such as springs, shock absorbers, greaseable shackles and pins, U-Bolts, and Brackets.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

 

What is a GVM upgrade?

GVM stands for Gross Vehicle Mass, which is the maximum allowable weight for a fully loaded vehicle. A GVM upgrade kit is specifically designed to increase your allowable GVM, letting you load all the equipment you need without overloading your vehicle. Our Toyota Landcruiser GVM upgrade kits at Fulcrum Suspensions increase your GVM, with the addition of an increase in performance, ride handling, and comfort.

 

Who would require a GVM upgrade for their vehicle?

A GVM upgrade is applicable for any Toyta Landcruiser 78 series owner who often use their vehicle to carry heavy loads. This includes carrying tools and equipment every day for work, or even hitting the tracks and adventuring on weekends with all your 4x4 gear. This also includes mining companies, farmers, tradesmen, and of course off-road enthusiasts.

 

When should a GVM upgrade kit be fitted?

If your Toyota Landcruiser 78 series is carrying heavy loads whether it be for work or when adventuring, it is very important to check what your standard GVM is. If your fully loaded vehicle is either nearing or exceeding the allowable limit, it is important that a GVM upgrade kit is fitted in your vehicle.

We recommend contacting our team here at Fulcrum Suspensions, where you can speak to one of our suspension experts that will run you through everything you need to know about our GVM upgrade kits and help you come to the best decision.

  

How does a GVM upgrade kit work?

A GVM upgrade kit operates similarly to a lift kit, by fitting all necessary components and parts such as springs, shock absorbers, greaseable shackles, and U Bolts into the vehicle. After a GVM upgrade, your Toyota Landcruiser 78 series can be operated legally and safely, with room to fit all your extra accessories, without worrying if you are exceeding your GVM.

 

What happens if you exceed your GVM?

Exceeding your GVM is dangerous and puts your Landcruiser, yourself, and others on the road at risk. With an overloaded vehicle, it becomes increasingly harder to manoeuvre your Landcruiser and a lot easier to lose control. Driving with an overloaded vehicle is also illegal, so you are also at risk of getting a heavy fine and even having your car impounded.

  

Is it illegal to go over GVM?

Yes, exceeding your GVM and driving with an overloaded vehicle is illegal. This means you are at risk of both receiving a heavy fine and having the police or transport authorities impound your vehicle.
