SmartCap for the Land Cruiser 79
The Land Cruiser 79 Double Cab is often used as a platform for serious touring, farming, hunting and overland builds.
A SmartCap transforms the open load bin into a more secure and organised cargo area while retaining practical access to the load space.
The modular construction also allows additional equipment and storage components to be incorporated into the canopy setup.
Stainless-Steel Modular Construction
SmartCap canopies are manufactured around a stainless-steel modular frame, providing a durable alternative to conventional fibreglass-style canopies.
The stainless-steel construction is designed for demanding on-road and off-road use and complements the rugged nature of the Land Cruiser 79.
Gullwing Side Doors
The large gullwing side doors provide convenient access to equipment stored inside the canopy.
Instead of climbing into the load bin or unloading cargo from the rear, frequently used equipment can be accessed directly from the side.
This is particularly useful for:
- Recovery equipment
- Camping equipment
- Tools
- Fridges
- Storage systems
- Electrical equipment
- Hunting equipment
- Work equipment
- Overlanding gear
Roof Rails & Roof-Mounted Equipment
The SmartCap incorporates universal roof rails, providing a platform for additional equipment.
Depending on the selected configuration and load requirements, the canopy can be used as part of a larger touring or overlanding setup.
Potential applications include:
- Roof racks
- Load bars
- Rooftop tents
- Awnings
- Recovery equipment
- Camping equipment
Always confirm the applicable dynamic and static load limits for the specific SmartCap configuration and the Toyota vehicle before loading the roof.
The SmartCap load capacity may exceed the vehicle’s available payload or roof/load-bin limitations, so the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications must also be considered.
SmartCap EVO Sport
The EVO Sport is the lifestyle-oriented SmartCap configuration, designed around a cleaner, more executive appearance while retaining the SmartCap modular platform.
The EVO Sport specification generally includes:
- Stainless-steel modular frame
- Automotive-grade paint
- Gullwing side doors with bonded glass
- Flush-mounted sliding windows
- Cab sliding bonded-glass window
- Rear bonded-glass window
- High-level brake light
- Positive-pressure filtered air vent
- Universal roof rails
- Provision for SmartCap components
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty
Important: SmartCap’s current South African product information does not list the LC79 under its general EVO Sport vehicle list, while the dedicated LC79 SmartCap application is separately listed. EVO Sport availability for a specific LC79 must therefore be confirmed before ordering.
SmartCap EVO Adventure
The EVO Adventure is designed for customers who want a more adventure-focused canopy configuration for touring and off-road travel.
The Adventure configuration includes features such as:
- Stainless-steel modular construction
- Double-skin gullwing side doors
- Bonded front and rear safety glass
- Interior MOLLE mounting capability
- High-level brake-light provision/configuration
- Positive-pressure filtered air vent
- Universal roof rails
- Provision for SmartCap accessories
- 3-year manufacturer’s warranty
The EVO Adventure is specifically listed for Toyota Land Cruiser applications by SmartCap distributors in South Africa. The LC79 configuration has specific rear-door and brake-light differences compared with some other vehicle applications.
SmartCap EVO Defender
The EVO Defender is designed around maximum cargo protection, with stainless-steel doors and panels intended to provide additional protection against smash-and-grab risks and demanding work-site use.
The Defender configuration includes features such as:
- Stainless-steel modular frame
- Automotive-grade paint
- Double-skin gullwing side doors
- Solid front wall
- Solid rear door
- High-level brake-light configuration
- Positive-pressure filtered air vent
- Universal roof rails
- Provision for SmartCap components
However, current South African SmartCap information lists the EVO Defender for selected bakkie applications rather than the LC79, while other international suppliers list an EVO Defender LC79 application. Because of this difference, Defender availability and exact specification must be confirmed for the individual LC79 before ordering.
Choose the Configuration for Your Build
The SmartCap concept works particularly well where the Land Cruiser is being built as a complete touring, work or overland vehicle.
Depending on the confirmed canopy configuration, SmartCap accessories can include solutions such as:
- Internal drawer systems
- Camp kitchens
- Storage modules
- MOLLE panels
- Interior lighting
- Tables
- Roof racks
- Load bars
- Security screens
- Additional storage components
Availability varies according to the canopy model and vehicle application.
Built for Touring & Overlanding
The SmartCap is particularly suited to Land Cruiser owners who want to carry valuable equipment while keeping the load area protected and organised.
It can form the foundation of a complete touring build incorporating:
Canopy → drawers → fridge → electrical system → roof rack → rooftop tent → awning → recovery equipment
This makes the LC79 an effective platform for extended travel, remote-area work and overland exploration.

Important – Canopy Model Confirmation

- EVO Sport
- EVO Adventure
- EVO Defender
- Other available LC79 SmartCap configuration
Availability and specification can vary by vehicle application and model year.
HJM Offroad will confirm the correct canopy configuration for your Toyota Land Cruiser 79 Series Double Cab before the order is processed.
Important – Existing Accessories & Modifications
If your Land Cruiser 79 already has any aftermarket equipment fitted, please specify this when requesting a quotation.
This is particularly important if the vehicle has:
- Existing canopy
- Load-bin liner
- Load-bin storage system
- Drawer system
- Roller shutter
- Tonneau cover
- Sports bar
- Roll bar
- Roof rack
- Bed-mounted accessories
- Custom load-bin modifications
- Electrical equipment
- Other aftermarket accessories
Existing equipment may affect canopy installation, clearance, mounting and accessory compatibility.
Important – Payload & Roof Load
Adding a canopy and its accessories contributes to the vehicle’s overall loaded weight.
Additional equipment such as:
- Rooftop tents
- Roof racks
- Awnings
- Fridges
- Drawers
- Batteries
- Water tanks
- Recovery equipment
must all be considered when calculating the vehicle’s payload and axle loading.
The canopy’s rated load capacity does not automatically increase the Toyota Land Cruiser’s legal or manufacturer-rated payload.
Always remain within the vehicle manufacturer’s applicable payload, axle and roof-load limits.
