๐ฅ TOYOTA LEGEND 55 โ FULL BUILD BREAKDOWN ๐ฅ
We took this Toyota Legend 55 from stock standard and transformed it into a fully-equipped, adventure-ready 4x4, built with performance, durability, safety and style in mind. Every component was carefully selected and professionally fitted by LA Sport Pretoria East.
๐ ๏ธ SUSPENSION & HANDLING
The vehicle was upgraded with DCS Suspension, paired with Tough Dog leaf springs and upper control arms, delivering improved ride comfort, increased load-carrying capability and superior off-road articulation โ whether tackling tough trails or long-distance touring.
๐ WHEELS & TYRES
We fitted Maxxis Razor tyres mounted on Aline Outback rims, providing excellent traction, durability and aggressive styling, perfectly suited for both on-road stability and off-road performance.
๐ก๏ธ FRONT-END PROTECTION & RECOVERY
An Onca front replacement bull bar was installed, complete with skid plates for underbody protection and a Runva 13 000lbs Winch to ensure reliable recovery capability when the terrain gets challenging.
๐ก LIGHTING
For maximum visibility day and night, the Legend 55 features:
โข STEDI EVO spotlights with custom blue STEDI rings
โข A STEDI 41-inch light bar mounted to the roof rack
โข Lumeno work lights for camp and worksite illumination
This setup ensures exceptional forward lighting and all-round visibility in any environment.
๐งณ ROOF & STORAGE
A Predator roof rack was fitted to increase carrying capacity and versatility, making this build ideal for overlanding, work or weekend getaways.
๐ ๏ธ REAR PROTECTION & OFF-ROAD ARMOUR
The rear was upgraded with a Gobi-X rear bumper, along with rock sliders, providing increased protection, improved departure angles and added confidence on technical terrain.
๐ช INTERIOR UPGRADES
Inside, we installed Beesdam leather seat covers and a dash cover for added comfort, protection and a premium finish.
A new Full Carbon Prado steering wheel was fitted to enhance driving feel and overall cabin aesthetics.
๐ BRAKING PERFORMANCE
To match the vehicleโs increased capability, a Powerbrake Big Brake Kit was installed, offering improved stopping power, better heat management and increased safety both on- and off-road.
๐ฌ๏ธ ENGINE PROTECTION
An All In 4x4 snorkel was fitted to improve air intake, protect the engine from dust and water, and enhance reliability during off-road and water-crossing conditions.
๐ SECURITY
For added peace of mind, a SecuriLid was installed by Toyota, providing secure load-bin storage while maintaining a clean, factory-style look.
๐ AUDIO
The vehicle was upgraded with a full Kicker sound system, delivering powerful, high-quality audio to match the Legend 55โs bold presence.
๐จ CUSTOM DETAILS
Finishing touches include custom TREX decals and blue wrapter-coated detailing on selected components, adding a subtle but distinctive visual signature that ties the entire build together.
