Collection: 79 Series Land Cruiser Sun Shades

KEEP THE 79 CABIN COOL UNDER A FULL SUN

STOP THE CABIN COOKING WHEN THE UTE IS PARKED

A 79 left in the Aussie sun for an hour reaches surface temperatures that make the steering wheel painful to touch and the dash hot enough to soften plastics. A custom-cut windscreen sun shade reflects most of the incoming UV and infrared, dropping cabin temperatures dramatically. Owners regularly report 15-20 degrees cooler inside compared to no shade. The dash plastics last longer, the leather or vinyl seats stop cooking, the air-con works less hard when you start up, and you can actually grab the wheel without flinching. A five-second job at the start of every park-up that pays back instantly.

CUT TO THE WINDSCREEN PROFILE

The shades in this collection are cut to the exact windscreen shape of the 79 Series, with separate templates for the 1984-2007 era windscreen and the 2007-onward shape. Multi-layered reflective material sits on the outside with a soft inner lining to protect the dash. The shade folds down flat for storage behind the seat or in the door pocket and pops back up to full size in seconds. Some options include rear and side window shades as a full kit for owners running roof-top tents or sleeping in the cab during long trips.

WINDSCREEN, REAR, AND TOURING KIT OPTIONS

This collection covers windscreen-only sun shades, rear and side window shades (mostly for the Troopy and Wagon), and full touring kits with coverage for every window in the cab. Each option is matched to the 79 single cab, dual cab, or 78 Troopy body style. VDJ (2007-2023) and GDJ (2024 onward) facelift variants share most window dimensions so the shades carry across, with the exception of the new facelift windscreen which has slight cut differences. Each listing confirms body style and year fitment.
