Toyota’s upgraded LandCruiser 70 series, has two new Toyota bullbar options, engineered and tested for precise integration with the vehicle’s airbag sensors.

  
LandCruiser 70 features airbag-compatible bullbar

The steel and alloy bullbars are designed with ‘crush cans’ that deform upon impact. A calculated and controlled response to the deformation, then triggers airbag sensors, to activate deployment at exactly the right moment.


Safety and durability testing techniques - including graphic computer simulation, strain gauging and off-roading in Australian conditions - helped engineers achieve optimum strength-to-weight ratios for the bullbars, while allowing sufficient air into the grille, to cool the engine.


Airbag-compatible side rails are available for the steel bullbar, providing greater vehicle body protection, and further enhancing occupant safety.


Both steel and alloy bullbars are purpose-built to accommodate the Superwinch, CB antennae, and Rallye FF1000 or Rallye FF4000 driving lights.


The bullbars come with a minimum 100,000km/12 month warranty.
