2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado gets wild Wald treatment

The tough off-roader gets even tougher with a body kit and custom wheels from the famed Japanese tuning house.

The 2025 Toyota LandCruiser Prado is due in Australia by the end of 2024, but has already been beefed up by famed Japanese car customiser Wald International.

The latest release from Wald International – the Osaka, Japan-based makers of custom body kits and aftermarket wheels – is a wildly modified Prado, known as the Toyota LandCruiser 250 Series in Japan and the United States.

What appears to be a computer-generated image of the front of the package has been posted on the company’s Instagram profile, revealing a comprehensive set of changes for the Toyota SUV.

While the factory version brings bold, confident styling, Wald has taken the Prado to another level with almost every panel given some sort of upgrade.

That sees custom lights, front grille and a wild front bumper – capped by a chunkier bonnet with a large air intake flanked by bulges on either side.

While the off-road tyres and six-spoke alloy wheels are also expected in toughening up an off-road SUV – and are wrapped in angular wheel arch extensions – looking upwards Wald has even modified the Prado’s roof.

The Japanese company has also shown a second version with different alloy wheels – a larger, more ornate design – with lower-profile tyres pitched at on-road glamour.

Wald body kits and alloy wheels range in price, with details yet to be shared on the Prado upgrades.

In Australia, online searches reveal Wald components for other vehicles priced from less than $1000 for wheel arch extensions, through to around $5000 for a complete body kit.

Wald is known for its overt styling packages with recent products made for the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, Aston Martin DBX707 and even the popular Suzuki Jimny small SUV.

Wald is far from the first to take to the 2025 Prado, with Modellista – the Japanese tuning arm of Toyota – releasing a package in July 2024 with parts able to be purchased individually or as a set (above).

The Toyota LandCruiser Prado is set to arrive in Australia by the end of 2024 and is one of the most highly anticipated new-vehicle releases this year.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j

‘Smells Like WD-40’ – lubricant spray now a fragrance

The smell of WD-40 – the multi-purpose lubricant spray used by mechanics and home handymen – is now available as a fragrance. Those who like to tinker with older cars will no doubt be familiar with the lubricating spray WD-40 – the penetrating oil that helps helps loosen, degrease, and protect nuts and bolts. The product is so versatile it’s become the stuff of legend, but it’s the smell of WD-40 that is arguably its most memorable feature – so much so, people on the internet have pretended to turn it into a perfume for years. Now, a very real cologne has been launched, called Smells Like WD-40. The Eau De Parfum is made by New York art collective MSCHF, who are known for creating spoof products designed to point out the absurdity of a particularly industry – in this case, the multi-billion-dollar world of luxury fragrances. According to Business Insider, MSCHF used to run non-traditional advertising campaigns for brands, but stopped in late 2019 to focus on its own projec
