“Queensland family ‘stranded’ after Toyota ‘rejects warranty’ on modified LandCruiser” News Article

In the photos it is clear that they chopped off the back half and retrofit it as an overlanding rig. I dont see a scenario where any car manufacturer is going to to warranty any defect in a vehicle that has been that altered from its original state even if it is a common practice. One would hope that the LC could handle. it.
That’s pretty epic. I drove around Australia twice. Second time in a 105 series LC. Had a car fire and various oil leaks in the 105, but never needed a tow truck until my 2024 FE. At least Toyota gave me $300 for being in the shop over the weekend 6000km from home!! Thanks ECP.
For some reason beyond me, the link doesn’t work. Bu t being denied warranty work is the main reason that I try to keep my rigs stock, until they are out of warranty. Even the tires and wheels that I use will be the stock size.

That worked.
Seems totally reasonable from Toyota. That vehicle was Frankenstein'ed beyond recognition, no manufacturer is going to warranty something that modified.
The headline is a good example of fake news. I feel if you can afford to chop up a new vehicle like that young family did, you can afford the cost of repairs.
