A LandCruiser dual cab conversion, often called a LandCruiser chop, transforms a 200 or 300 Series wagon into a platform ready for a custom tray, canopy and complete fit-out.
JMACX completes the specialist conversion before McCormacks 4WD brings the finished build together, from storage and electrical to suspension, protection and accessories.
We begin with a detailed conversation about your vehicle, how you plan to use it and what you want the finished build to achieve.
From there, McCormacks 4WD works with you to plan the JMACX conversion and complete custom fit-out, considering the vehicle’s design, capability, comfort, weight and functionality from the beginning.
JMACX completes the specialist chop and dual cab conversion.
The exact conversion configuration, chassis requirements and applicable upgrades will depend on your vehicle and the intended final build. These details will be confirmed with JMACX during the planning process.
Once the JMACX conversion is complete, McCormacks 4WD manages the logistics of returning the vehicle to our workshop and bringing the rest of the build to life.
Our team then coordinates and installs the complete custom fit-out, based on your customised design plan, creating one cohesive, purpose-built vehicle.
Once the fit-out is complete, we’ll thoroughly check the build and take you through its major systems and features, so you feel confident using your new setup.
Your vehicle will then be ready for collection from McCormacks 4WD or prepared for arranged return transport, ready for wherever you’re heading next.

Your vehicle may need to carry tools and equipment, support extended touring, work on a rural property or remain comfortable and practical for everyday driving. Most importantly, it may need to perform several of these roles at once.
Following the JMACX conversion, your custom McCormacks 4WD build may include:
Create the foundation of your fit-out with a tray and canopy selected around your storage, access, equipment and design preferences.
Organise tools, recovery gear, touring equipment and everyday essentials with storage designed around what you need to carry.
Create an integrated power system with options such as lithium batteries, charging, solar, inverters, outlets and system monitoring.
Select suspension and supporting upgrades according to the JMACX conversion, finished vehicle configuration, intended load and driving conditions.
Prepare for demanding conditions with bull bars, underbody protection, winches and purpose-selected recovery equipment.
Add driving lights, work and camp lighting, UHF communications and other systems suited to your work or travel requirements.
Configure the vehicle around your towing requirements with compatible towing equipment, monitoring and supporting upgrades.
Complete your setup with refrigeration, water storage, roof storage, camp accessories and other equipment for extended travel.
A build at this level involves more than choosing premium components. It requires careful planning to ensure those components work together in the finished vehicle.
McCormacks 4WD provides a clear point of contact for the custom build, helping you navigate the options and plan the fit-out around your genuine requirements.
Our goal is not to include equipment simply because it is available. It is to create the right LandCruiser for you.
By working with us, you can:
A vehicle of this calibre begins with a proper conversation.
Tell us whether you are considering a 200 or 300 Series LandCruiser, how you intend to use it and what you want the finished vehicle to achieve, and we will do the heavy lifting.
Dual Cab Conversions | Australia
A LandCruiser dual cab conversion transforms a 200 or 300 Series wagon into a dual cab utility-style vehicle. It is also commonly referred to as a LandCruiser chop, chopped conversion or ute conversion.
JMACX performs the specialist conversion before McCormacks 4WD completes the custom tray, canopy, storage, electrical and accessory fit-out.
The specialist chop and dual cab conversion is performed by JMACX.
McCormacks 4WD works with you to plan the complete vehicle before finishing the converted LandCruiser with the selected tray, canopy, drawers, electrical system, suspension, protection and accessories.
Our current custom-build offering focuses on JMACX conversions for Toyota LandCruiser 200 and 300 Series vehicles.
Available options will depend on the exact model, vehicle specifications, registration status and intended build. Contact us with your vehicle details so the appropriate pathway can be confirmed with JMACX.
For many owners, a standard dual cab ute does not offer the same combination of comfort, refinement, performance and finish they want from their vehicle.
A JMACX conversion allows owners to retain the trusted Toyota LandCruiser platform while gaining the flexibility of a tray, canopy and purpose-designed rear fit-out.
It creates a premium alternative for customers who want their vehicle designed around specific work, storage, towing or touring requirements.
Larger trucks can offer significant capability, but they can also introduce considerations around overall size, weight, access, licensing, registration, insurance and everyday drivability.
A JMACX LandCruiser conversion may provide an alternative for customers who want substantial capability while retaining a familiar and comparatively manageable vehicle platform.
The most appropriate option will depend on your required payload, towing needs, equipment and intended use.
A JMACX dual cab conversion can provide the platform for many different types of custom build.
McCormacks 4WD can develop the final fit-out for:
The layout, storage and electrical systems can be planned around the vehicle’s primary purpose.
Yes. Many owners need their vehicle to perform more than one role.
The McCormacks 4WD fit-out can be planned to provide practical tool or equipment storage during the week while supporting touring, camping or recreational use at other times.
Discussing these different requirements at the beginning helps us develop a more versatile finished build.

The final product selection will depend on suitability, availability, weight, space and the overall build design.
Yes. We’ll discuss your preferred products, brands and features during the planning stage.
Selections will need to be assessed against the JMACX conversion, vehicle dimensions, intended use, weight requirements and compatibility with the rest of the build.
If a requested product is not the best fit, we’ll explain why and discuss suitable alternatives.
Timeframes depend on the vehicle, JMACX conversion schedule, complexity of the build, chosen tray and canopy, product availability and installation requirements.
Once the proposed project has been scoped, we can provide an indicative timeline for the conversion and McCormacks 4WD fit-out.
Every vehicle is individually planned, so there is no single price for a complete build.
The overall investment will depend on the vehicle, JMACX conversion specification, tray and canopy, electrical system, suspension, protection, accessories and level of customisation.
Following an initial consultation, we can help establish a more relevant scope and indicative budget for your build.
Vehicle weight needs to be considered across the complete build, including the JMACX conversion, tray, canopy, storage, electrical system, accessories, passengers, fuel, water, cargo and towing requirements.
We will discuss your intended use and equipment during the planning stage. Exact capacities and applicable upgrade options must be confirmed for the individual vehicle and conversion specification.
Major vehicle modifications can affect insurance, manufacturer warranties and individual product warranties.
Owners should disclose the proposed JMACX conversion and complete McCormacks 4WD fit-out to their insurer before proceeding. Final insurance acceptance and coverage remain subject to the insurer’s requirements.
Relevant warranty information should also be confirmed for the vehicle, conversion and installed products.
