Beat the Heat in Your 79 Series Dual Cab.
The Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series Double Cab is built for the toughest jobs and the longest tours, but its upright cabin design acts like a greenhouse, cooking everything inside. Snap Shades are the essential upgrade to keep your rear passengers cool, your fridge running efficiently, and your expensive gear hidden from prying eyes.
Generic stick-on shades don't last five minutes on corrugated roads. Snap Shades feature a custom-fitted rigid frame with embedded smart magnets that snap instantly onto your LandCruiser's metal door frame for a rock-solid fit that won't rattle loose.
Why 79 Series Owners Swear By These:
- Windows Down, Bugs Out: Essential for camping trips. Because the shade mounts to the door frame, you can roll the rear windows down for cross-flow ventilation at night while keeping mosquitoes and flies out.
- Massive Heat Reduction: The large, flat glass of the 70 Series lets in huge amounts of solar energy. Snap Shades block a significant percentage of UV rays and heat, reducing the load on the air conditioning.
- Back Seat Security: Many 79 Series owners store expensive tools, fridges, or recovery gear in the second row. The dark mesh provides excellent privacy, making it hard for thieves to see what's inside.
- Built for Corrugations: Designed specifically for the metal-framed doors of the 70 Series, they stay securely in place no matter how rough the track gets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these shades specifically designed for the 79 Series Double Cab dimensions?
Yes. The Double Cab configuration features distinct door frame dimensions compared to the Troop Carrier or Wagon variants. These shades are precision-cut to match the unique curvature of the 79 Series Dual Cab window apertures, ensuring a flush, professional fit that covers the entire glass area without gaps.
Will these stay in place while I'm driving on rough outback roads?
Absolutely. We use a high-strength magnetic frame system that locks onto the steel door surrounds. Because the 79 Series cabin can experience significant vibration on corrugated tracks, this magnetic design provides a far more secure hold than flimsy suction cups, ensuring the shades remain firmly attached regardless of how rough the terrain gets.
Do the front window shades interfere with my side mirror visibility?
No. The front window shades are engineered with a specific high-visibility mesh that provides excellent sun and heat rejection while maintaining a clear view of your side mirrors. You get the benefit of a cooler cabin and reduced glare without compromising your ability to safely monitor traffic or track trailers while towing.
Can I roll the windows down while the shades are attached?
Yes, the design allows for full window functionality. The shades are mounted to the interior frame, meaning you can lower your windows to allow fresh air to flow into the cab, while the shade continues to act as an insect screen and sun blocker. This is perfect for keeping the cabin temperature down and bugs out when you're parked at camp.
Are these effective at keeping the back seat cool for passengers?
The rear seat of a 79 Series Double Cab can get quite hot due to the limited rear air conditioning reach. Our shades use a denser, premium-grade mesh on the rear door windows to significantly reduce solar heat gain. They create a much more comfortable environment for your passengers or children, shielding them from harsh direct sunlight during long touring stints.
