Superior Engineering Launches Coil Conversion for the 2.8L 79 Series!

Big news for the 79 Series crew – Superior Engineering has just dropped their new Outback Tourer Kits designed specifically for the Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Gen 3 (2022 Onwards) with the 2.8L model. Yep, the little brother to the V8 now gets the same serious off-road capability we all know and love. When the new 2.8L auto version of the 70 Series LandCruiser was released, we didn’t think we'd see big lifts and coil conversions anytime soon. With less torque and power than the V8, the 2.8L facelifted 79 Series seemed destined for mild builds only.

But now, Superior Engineering has proven everyone wrong.
