Renoca’s Retro-Flavored Toyota Land Cruisers Look Awesome

Renoca, a brand owned by Japanese tuner Flex that specializes in retro-flavored visual modifications, is offering a wide range of Land Cruiser generations made to look like the older J60. The cool factor of the SUVs is further enhanced by the fact that they are using OEM headlights and grilles, nicely blending with the rest of the bodywork thanks to modified front panels.

The conversion kit with plenty of customization options is available for the Land Cruiser J80 (1990), the J90 Prado (1996) and the J100 (1999), blessing each and every one of them with the face of the older J60 (1980). The models can be specified with either round or square headlights and a chrome-infused or black-finished grille bearing the Toyota emblem.

As we mentioned earlier, those parts come directly from the J60. Renoca makes the redesigned steel bonnet alongside headlight housings, tweaked front fenders and bespoke bumpers sporting an old-school chrome finish. Besides the headlights and grille treatment, personalization options include a variety of nostalgic color shades for the bodywork and a selection of alloy wheels.

Irrespective of which model you are going to use as a donor vehicle, you benefit from a much more modern interior ambience compared to the J60 from the ’80s, with increased cabin space, a more refined ride, and aftermarket infotainment touchscreens. Renoca is offering plenty of cool-looking fabric and leather options for the seat upholstery, plus a wooden three-spoke steering wheel for the J80.

Mechanically speaking, the Land Cruisers retain their stock ladder-frame chassis and engines, but Renoca is offering optional lift kits for the suspension so you can further improve the SUV’s off-road credentials. Finally, some models can get roof racks for transporting surfboards and other equipment.

Depending on the model, pricing for the modifications starts between ¥2,800,000 ($20,300) and ¥3,490,000 ($27,140), but it can grow further if you spice it up with more options. We spent some time on the configurator and created some lovely specs for the iconic SUVs, with our preference leading towards the more recent J100 generation. Besides the Land Cruisers, the tuner is also offering similar kits for the Toyota Hiace, the Toyota Town Ace, and a boxy Toyota Euro Box wagon styled to look like a VW Golf MK1.
