The Ultimate Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series Tray & Canopy System

Tailored Solutions for the Landcruiser 79 Series

When it comes to equipping your Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series with a tray and canopy system that delivers unmatched durability, functionality, and premium craftsmanship, M2 Overland is the industry leader in New Zealand. We don’t just claim to be the best—our products, attention to detail, and extensive expertise prove it.

Our Trek-R Tray & Canopy Systems are engineered specifically for the Toyota 79 Series, providing a seamless integration with its rugged off-road capabilities. We offer two size configurations to match the two cab options:

Double  Cab: 1800mm (L) x 1850mm (W) x 995mm (H)

Single  Cab: 2575mm (L) x 1850mm (W) x 995mm (H)

Our design accounts for the extra cab height in the 79Series, ensuring a proper fit without compromise. For those looking to keep overall height manageable for roof-mounted additions such as rooftop tents, we provide a standard height canopy option that pairs perfectly with our elevated headboard. 

Modular Configurations for Any Adventure

The Trek-R System is designed to be modular, tough, and practical—giving you the freedom to configure your 79 Series exactly how you need it. Whether you’re after a hardcore work setup, an overlanding rig, or something that does both, our systems are built to handle it all.

Spare Wheel Storage: Thoughtful, Versatile Solutions

Unlike most utes, the Toyota 79 Series doesn’t house the spare wheel under the tray. This presents a challenge for owners who need a secure and accessible spare wheel solution. We offer three distinct spare wheel storage options:

1. Rear Canopy-Mounted Spare Wheel

If you're running a canopy, we provide a rear canopy spare wheel mount that bolts securely to the back of the canopy. However, this option is not compatible with our toolboxes or service body with a rear door.

2. Headboard-Mounted Spare Wheel

For those without a canopy, service body, or toolbox setup, we offer a headboard-mounted spare wheel bracket that positions the wheel upright against the headboard. While this option encroaches on tray space, it ensures easy access.

3. Under-Tray Spare Wheel Chute

Our under-tray spare wheel chute provides a sleek storage solution, replacing the rear trundle drawer. Due to the chassis clearance, this option is limited to a narrow wheel, specifically the 79 Series LT model space saver (7 inches or 225mm wide on a steel rim). This spare is 33 inches in diameter, which aligns with what many 79 Series owners run. However, if your primary tyres differ in size, the spare must be mounted on the front axle, and 4WD must not be engaged under any circumstances, as it can cause severe drivetrain damage. 

Guard Options: Standard & Modified Track Width

The Toyota Landcruiser 79 Series has a different front-to-rear track width, making guards an essential consideration. We offer:

Standard Track Width Guards: Designed for factory rear track setups.

Modified Track Width Guards: For those running a track correction kit to align the rear track with the front.

Simply let us know your configuration, and we’ll ensure your system is perfectly suited to your setup.

VIP Builds Sandy & RUISER

Sandy: Built to Perform in the Real World

Sandy is M2 Overland’s flagship 79 Series, built to show case our Trek-R Tray & Canopy System in real conditions. Used by our director, Brandon, it’s been tested across New Zealand in harsh terrain and demanding situations.

It has featured in Hunger for Our Roots and GoldRush: Parker’s Trail, proving its off-road capability and off-grid reliability. More than just a showpiece, Sandy was put to work during Cyclone Gabrielle, providing vital support during disaster relief in Hawke’s Bay. This truck is a working example of what M2 Overland gear is built for—practicality, durability, and no-fuss performance.

RUISER: A No-Nonsense, Purpose-Built 79 Series

RUISER, built for Hashtag.Dan, is a fully kitted-out 79 Series designed for adventure and work. Outfitted with an M2 Overland Trek-R Tray & Canopy System, it’s built for quick setup, smart storage, and rugged use.

With Hunt-R internal roof storage, a double-opening full-width drawer, undermount slide-out benches, and a lifting gantry with a wireless winch, RUISER is set up to handle heavy loads with ease. It also features Starlink satellite internet, keeping Dan & Rosie connected even in the middle of nowhere.

Designed to be self-sufficient for extended trips, RUISER proves that a 79 Series can be tough, practical, and ready for anything.
