INTRODUCTION

Move over, mere mortals—Ulterio Motiv has entered the scene, and they’re not just playing with extra wheels; they’re redefining what it means to go off-road. If you thought the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 was the pinnacle of rugged utility, brace yourself for a six-wheeled revelation that’ll make you question if four wheels were ever enough. Whether you need to conquer the wild or carry an ungodly amount of stuff, Ulterio Motiv’s 6x6 and 6x4 beasts are here to make sure you do it with style—and a bit of overkill.

THE PRODUCT

Let’s face it: more wheels usually mean more fun, more capability, and, in this case, more bragging rights. Ulterio Motiv knows this, and that’s why they’ve taken the already formidable Land Cruiser 79 and turned it into a multi-wheeled monster. Whether you're a weekend warrior or someone who needs to carry your entire life (and maybe a few extra lives) in the back, these vehicles have you covered. Need a bespoke camping rig? Check. Want a mobile fortress for emergency services? Done. Just want to show off? Absolutely.

Key Features:

• Ironman 4x4™ Components: Suspension and bullbar options to suit your needs (and your ego).

• Customizable Load Bin: 3.3m x 1.5m drop-side load bin, or take it to a third-party converter and go wild.

• 6x6 Magic: The 6x6 version increases GVM to 6,050 kg, because why not?

• 6x4 Savvy: The 6x4 is still a monster with a GVM of 5,500 kg, for those who prefer a slightly more restrained level of insanity.

If the Land Cruiser 79 was Thor, the 6x6 version is Thor with the power of Mjolnir in each hand. This beast doesn’t just go off-road; it dominates it. With a GVM that’s 2,850 kg more than the standard, this is the vehicle for those who think a small mountain of cargo is a light load.

What’s New:

• Third Axle: Expertly welded onto the existing chassis—because two axles just aren’t enough.

• Differential Locks: Three of them, because getting stuck is for amateurs.

• Track-Corrected Rear Axles: So your tyres can all play nice in the mud.

• Hydraulic-Assisted Brake Booster: Less pressure on the pedal, more stopping power. Safety first, but let’s not be boring about it.

• Code C1 Licence Required: Because driving this thing is practically a superpower.

The 6x4 might have one less powered axle, but it’s still very much in the “anything less would be uncivilized” category. With the same rugged look and nearly as much load-carrying capability as its 6x6 sibling, it’s the budget-friendly (sort of) option for those who want to dabble in the wild side.

6x4 Highlights:

• Similar Looks, Slightly Less Crazy: All the aesthetic, with slightly less drive madness.

• GVM of 5,500 kg: Because a mere 5,500 kg is still more than your buddy’s truck.

• Enhanced Safety: Third axle braking system, so you don’t have to leave your nerves at home.

HOW ULTERIO MOTIV STARTED

Jaco de Kock, the mastermind behind Ulterio Motiv (and CEO of SVI Engineering), decided the automotive world needed a little more… extremity. “We wanted to offer something useful and captivating,” says Jaco, clearly a fan of understatement. Wilhelm Lutjeharms, PR wizard at Ulterio Motiv, chimed in, “The 6x6 is the ultimate off-road machine, but don’t sleep on the 6x4. It’s like getting the same dish at a fancy restaurant but with a discount.”

COST AND BUILD TIME

Let’s talk numbers because all this awesomeness doesn’t come cheap—but it’s oh-so-worth it.

• 6x4 Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Conversion: R389,950 ex VAT

• 6x6 Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Conversion: R895,000 ex VAT

Note: This doesn’t include the base vehicle, load bin, or fancy wheels and tyres, but you do get an Ironman 4x4™ front suspension upgrade. Build time? A cool three months, subject to prior sales.

THE COMPANY

In conclusion, if you’re looking for a vehicle that screams “I’m here to dominate,” Ulterio Motiv’s 6x6 and 6x4 Land Cruiser 79 models are your new best friends. Just remember to bring a code C1 licence and a healthy sense of adventure.
