- Wheels & tires: 22‑inch Kuhl Verz DR03 alloy wheels paired with 37‑inch Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 off‑road tires.
- Adjustable suspension: JAOS‑tuned coil‑over system allows on‑the‑fly ride‑height tweaks.

Pricing and Availability
The first Iron Build Prado, built on the VX trim, retains its stock 2.7‑liter gasoline engine. It is priced at ¥6.79 million (≈ US$43,300), with the full upgrade package accounting for ¥920,000 (≈ US$5,900). Kuhl offers the vehicle as a complete, ready‑to‑drive unit or sells the individual components for owners of compatible Prado models.
Future Developments
Kuhl is already engineering a lightweight FRP (fiberglass‑reinforced plastic) bodykit for the Prado 250. The kit will feature re‑styled front and rear bumpers with cut‑outs to accommodate larger wheels, as well as an expanded mud‑guard system. These parts are slated for debut at the Osaka Auto Fair from 13–15 February 2026.
