EFS MRP 2.5 Front Shock Absorber, 75 mm - Land Cruiser 70, Patrol
A 70 series or a coil sprung Patrol forgives a lot - but not overheated dampers. Lift it 75 mm, add a bar and a winch, and the front end gets a job the factory damper cannot hold up to.
The MRP 2.5 front damper runs a finned remote reservoir in a monotube body with an oversized shaft. Add 24 compression and 36 rebound clicks and you can genuinely set the vehicle up for what you actually do with it.
Application Land Cruiser 76, 78 and 79 plus Patrol Y60/Y61 | Lift 3" / 75 mm | Design Monotube with remote reservoir |
Key benefits
- Remote finned reservoir - the oil has somewhere to dump heat, so damping does not vanish after a dozen kilometres of corrugations.
- 24 compression and 36 rebound clicks - 60 settings instead of one factory compromise.
- Monotube with an oversized shaft - more working area and calmer behaviour at full load.
- Rebuildable construction - the damper was designed to be serviced, not replaced.
- Bonded rubber bushes and a shaft boot come with every unit.

Who it is for
For touring 70 series Cruisers and coil sprung Patrols on a 3 inch lift: heavy front ends, winches and full builds. It comes into its own on long gravel and sand runs, where a stable operating temperature matters more than a claimed stiffness figure.
Fitment notes
The manufacturer lists this part for the Land Cruiser 76 (VDJ76R from 2007), 78 (HZJ78 10/1999-2006 and VDJ78R from 2007), 79 (HZJ79 10/1999-2006, VDJ79R Single Cab 2007-09/2016 and Dual Cab Chassis from 2007, plus GDJ79R Dual Cab from 09/2023 excluding manual transmission), and for coil sprung GQ Y60 and GU Y61 Patrols. The distributor additionally mentions the 71 and 74 series - confirm the choice with us for those vehicles.
Fitting and tuning
Damping is set with two knobs: 24 clicks of compression and 36 clicks of rebound. Clockwise (marked H+) adds damping, counter-clockwise (S-) takes it away. The manufacturer gives starting points: 0-10 compression and 0-12 rebound clicks for town use, 10-20 and 12-22 off-road, 15-24 and 22-36 for extreme driving. Treat them as a baseline - load and driving style will move them.
The reservoir mounts on the supplied bracket and clamps, somewhere protected from impacts. Our workshop can handle selection, fitting and the later rebuild.
Warranty and registration
The distributor states a 2-year or 100,000 km warranty which can be extended to 6 years in total. The condition: register the damper with the manufacturer after purchase (QR code in the instruction sheet), then carry out and report a service before 2 years / 100,000 km, and a second one before the next 2 years / 50,000 km. Each reported service adds another 2 years and 50,000 km of cover.
Why it is worth it
- 60 damping settings - one vehicle, several personalities.
- Oil cooling solved by hardware rather than by a marketing line.
- A serviceable design, so the cost of ownership spreads over years.
