When you purchase our 4WD Kimberley Bush Kamper you will be able to enjoy the benefits of the standard Toyota warranty for your Toyota Landcruiser 79 Workmate Cab Chassis as well as the options for regular Toyota vehicle maintenance and service.

This superior 4x4 intercooled V8 Turbo Diesel will power through off-road outback Australia, however, like any off-road vehicle, regular serviced maintenance is highly recommended to ensure you get the best out of those long hours in your LandCruiser.

Along with scheduled servicing you can also do your part to ensure this tough off-track vehicle keeps running sweetly! Simple things such as listening to your LandCruiser could save you plenty of money in the long run. Stay alert for any changes in sounds or performance, as this could be the first indication that repairs or a service is required. So what type of noises do we mean? Things such as a stuttering engine or other unusual engine 'tunes', or perhaps a change in noise from the exhaust. Other early warning signs to be aware of include high engine temperature, spongy clutch or brake pedals, leaks under the vehicle or the steering pulling to one side.

If you have any concerns about the maintenance of your LandCruiser we highly recommend you take your Kimberley Bush Kamper into your local Toyota Service Centre for an inspection.

Create some good habits for your own do-it-yourself maintenance, such as checking under the bonnet and around your Toyota Landcruiser on a regular basis. Check the engine oil, coolant, brake, clutch and windscreen washer fluid levels regularly, along with checking lights and indicators are working and that your tyre pressure (including the spare tyre) is all 'top notch'.

Because you are driving a vehicle with genuine Toyota parts you can rest assured that your vehicle has been fitted with the best! However, many parts only have a certain life span and will eventually need replacing. This includes this such as spark plus, oil filters; drive belt, brake pads, engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, shock absorbers and sometimes a worn clutch.

Some parts provide you with plenty of hints when they need some TLC! For example, if your spark plugs need replacing you may find that your vehicle becomes difficult to start, misfires or is unstable when the engine is running. However, if your muffler has been around the block (or the Australian wilderness) plenty of times then it will well and truly let you know when it's had enough! Rather noisy hints such as loud, strange noises can indicate a hole in the muffler, while a clogged muffler will result in a lack of engine power. If your muffler is making a low 'boom' noise or rattles and hisses, the outside is covered in soot or the exhaust noise is getting louder, you should take your Landcruiser into your nearest Toyota approved service agent for a check up.

Other obvious signs such as poor acceleration, insufficient power when climbing hills, an increase in fuel consumption or noticing that your speed doesn't pick up quickly compared to amount of acceleration you use can all point towards a worn clutch.

The team at Kimberley Bush Kamper agrees that having your vehicle serviced by Toyota according to the recommended maintenance intervals (which is outlined when you purchase your Kimberley Bush Kamper) is a valuable investment in your vehicle’s future resale value and in your safety when negotiating the rugged and remote Australian outback.
