A tray, canopy, water, fuel and camp gear add up quickly on a 79. A GVM upgrade gives you the legal headroom to carry it, with suspension built for the weight.
Four stages, all to 4,200 kg. The step up is in the shocks, the rear axle and how far you want to take the build.
Suits: Single cab and dual cab, V8 and 4 cylinder. The vehicle needs AEB fitted. We'll confirm your build date when we quote.
The most affordable way to a legal 4.2 tonne 79 for touring with a tray and canopy.
Same rating as Stage 1 with Apex shocks that handle corrugations and long trips far better.
Heavy touring and towing. Adds a stronger rear diff, a 3,000 kg rear axle and a 2 inch lift.

Prices are Touring Solutions Australia's published kit pricing, including GST, freight extra. Your final fitted price is confirmed on your quote.
Stages 1 and 2 need wheels and tyres rated to at least 1,320 kg each. Stage 3 need 1,500 kg. Maximum tyre size is 295/75R16.
We'll check what you're running now and quote load-rated options if you need them.
For a touring 79 with a tray, canopy and a fridge, Stage 2 is the sweet spot. If you're towing a heavy van or carrying a lot of weight over the rear, Stage 3 is worth it for the stronger diff and rear axle.
One workshop handles the whole job: the kit, the wheels and tyres it needs, the fit and the paperwork.
We look at how you load and use the vehicle: people, fuel, water, drawers, canopy, roof gear and towball weight. If you're not sure where you sit, pop in or give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
We match the kit to the job and quote the load-rated wheels and tyres it needs at the same time, so there are no surprises.
Fitted in our Brendale workshop with the supplier's engineering. Most fits take 2 to 3 days. Chassis extensions take longer.
You leave with the certification paperwork and an alignment set for the new ride height and load.
It comes down to how much weight sits over the rear and whether you tow. Stages 1 and 2 suit most touring setups. Stages 3 and 4 are for heavy rear loads, big vans or longer trays. Tell us what's on the vehicle and we'll point you to the right one.
Done before rego, the packages keep 3,500 kg braked towing. Done after rego, braked towing is 2,800 kg when the vehicle is loaded to the full 4,200 kg GVM.
Only if they carry the load rating the package needs: 1,320 kg each for Stages 1 and 2, or 1,500 kg for Stages 3 and 4. Plenty of aftermarket wheels don't. We'll check yours before we quote.
Most fits take 2 to 3 days. Stage 4 takes longer because of the chassis extension. We'll give you a time frame when we quote.
Tell us what's on the vehicle and how you use it. We'll recommend the right stage and quote it with the wheels and tyres to suit.
