PVS Buyer’s & Upgrade Guides
Pick the right part for your Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series, Nissan Patrol or other 4WD the first time. These are the questions you ask us every day: which head unit actually fits your dash, electric or manual side mirrors, sequential or standard indicators, what changes when you swap a steering wheel, and how to get real sound out of a 70 Series.
These are buyer’s and how-to guides. If you want to know what the Australian Design Rules require of a modification, and the certification side of it, read our ADR compliance hub.
