PVS LC70 Urnieta Pickup

PVS proved what was possible with the 70 Series when they built the LC76 Urnieta Ultimate Wagon. The LC70 Urnieta Pickup takes that same philosophy and applies it to the platform that arguably needed it more. The 70 Series pickup is the workhorse of the LandCruiser lineup, built for farms, mines, and remote stations. PVS treats it like something worth finishing properly.

The exterior runs the full Urnieta catalogue, engineered for the entire 70 Series range covering the LC79, LC76, LC78, and LC71 with bolt on fitment and zero compromise on build quality. Every weld and every bracket is designed to take a beating on tracks that break lesser equipment. The front bumper, side steps, roof platform, forged wheels, and tray accessories bring the same cohesive design language that made the LC76 wagon build read as a single idea rather than a parts catalogue. That cross platform compatibility is significant. Whether you run a dual cab 79, a wagon 76, a troopy 78, or a short wheelbase 71, the Urnieta kit fits without modification. XPEL self healing PPF wraps the exterior, protecting the finish from day one across every panel.

Inside, PVS applies the same bespoke interior treatment that defined the wagon build. Japanese spec Recaro Cross Sportster GK100 seats trimmed in Alcantara 9055 replace the factory items. The dash, roof lining, and door cards are retrimmed in matching Alcantara with orange stitching and carbon details throughout. A custom carbon steering wheel, carbon air vent rings, and navy plush pile carpet transform the cab from utilitarian to something closer to a coach built special. The PVS 9 inch MK4 headunit handles infotainment and navigation.

The Urnieta roof rack deserves attention on its own. Built from high strength stainless steel and aluminum magnesium alloy, it is overbuilt by design. It mounts to the cab and carries whatever you need across terrain that tests every fastener. It looks as good in the studio as it performs on the trail, which is the entire PVS approach in a single component.

PVS Automotive has operated out of Sydney since 2008, evolving from auto electrical work into Australia's premium LandCruiser specialist. They serve dealerships and manufacturers as much as individual owners, and that background shows in the build quality. The LC70 Urnieta Pickup is the next chapter in a bespoke program that continues to prove the 70 Series platform has no ceiling when the right people work on it.
