OUR HISTORY
Our experience, Your lifestyle
Before Creative Conversions was converting Landcruiser's into Dual-Cab Utes, we were better known as Rustrite. Founded in 1988, Rustrite was a humble panel shop located on the Redcliffe Peninsula. In 1996 we moved from Redcliffe to Brendale, starting out on South-Pine Road. While honing our well-known skill for shaping, filling and painting vehicle bodies, we started to dabble in Dual-Cab conversions and chassis extensions, with the first ever conversion being done in 1998 on a 60 series Landcruiser. From 2001 we took the leap to no longer do panel and paint repairs and started only doing conversions and chassis extensions. In 2002 we outgrew our current facility and moved from South-Pine Road to our current manufacturing facility on the corner of Pinnacle Street and Unley Street in Brendale QLD. While we converted and extended all sorts of vehicles, our bread and butter were the Toyota Landcruiser's, evolving as the vehicles themselves evolved from the 60 series, 80 series and 100 series. But the pinnacle of our manufacturing process was the 200 series Landcruiser.
This conversion was the one that put us on the map. Our 200 series Dual-Cab conversions exploded in popularity, and as demand grew, so did we. In 2010 we got our first Federal Approval for the 200 series conversion. From there our conversions became a common sight not only on Australian Roads, but on Australian television screens too. Creative first partnered up with All4Adventure back in 2010 and have been building vehicles for them ever since. In 2020 with the end of the Landcruiser 200 Series only 16 months away Creative Conversions undertook a major growth and transformation initiative to be a focused and capable Full Volume specialised 2nd Stage Vehicle Manufacturer specialising in Landcruiser Conversions. Investing in facilities, equipment, people, processes and systems to enable 250 Brand New Landcruiser Dual-Cab Conversions to be completed in 2021. This coupled with approx. 40 Landcruiser 79 Wheelbase extensions cemented Creative Conversions as the most capable Landcruiser Conversion Company in Australia.
Now we are at the forefront of the LC 300 series design, innovation and conversion, we have completed a 11 month and $2m dollar development program and we are now ready to give our all to build your dream vehicle. Our new LC 300 series models are truly OEM original factory standard delivery a significantly enhanced vehicle.
So, when we say “Our experience, your Lifestyle” you know that you have 30 years of manufacturing experience behind your vehicle.
We’re located in far western NSW north of Mildura. We had ordered a ZX Sahara 300 series and wanted it converted. Creative Conversions was recommended to us by our local fabricator Outback Trays, Mildura.
Our enquiries started at least 12 months prior to the vehicle even hitting Aussie shores.
With Adam, our main go to person and all other staff, phone calls, emails, text messages and the opportunity to have a tour around the workshop floor seeing firsthand the stages of the build were met with enthusiasm, knowledge, great advice, options, friendliness, and pride.
This also includes the first-rate quality workmanship with the conversion process.
Our experience with Creative Conversions and the pleasure we are now having with our dream vehicle as a result of this is fantastic and very much appreciated. Great job and many thanks.

We have been involved with Adam and the team at Creative Conversions since 2022 arranging the conversion of our LC 300 GXL. We took possession in Jan 2023 and are extremely happy with our decision to have the conversion done.
During this process the team have been easy to deal with, communication has been fantastic during every step and even though the conversion was happening states away, I was kept up to date with details and photos of the journey.
While visiting QLD we were able to see our vehicle in the factory and once federal approval was obtained, transfer back to our purchase dealership was organised.
Overall, the process from start to finish was handled professionally by the team at Creative Conversion and Adam who was able to answer any questions we had. The customer service was and continues to be top notch.
We are now travelling full time and the vehicle is travelling and towing well. It is getting us to some amazing places around Australia. It has met our expectations and we now have a vehicle that is able to tow our caravan setup without any weight concerns.
It is nice to know that you are not just a number when Adam touches base to see how you are travelling months after you have taken possession of the vehicle.
