Don't worry about the oil consumption. Have had my 300 for almost a year, no issues with oil consumption, no issues with the dpf injector. Just drive it and enjoy it. Kaon make a cargo barrier, with a shelf and wing covers for the glass. Love the wrap, looks mint
For the amount of touring and living you guys do right around the country in these setups its an absolute investment for comfortable, reliable driving, Love this car
We added a lithium battery under the bonnet of our 300 series. A real neat job! We don’t need all the accessories in the back, just a slide out fridge in the back for our caravan trips. Have the reverse camera integrated onto the screen too! Also added new fitted car seat covers. Just love what you’ve done for your purposes and we just love the smooth driving and efficiency too!
I just updated my hilux and of course ARB bull bar and a must have side rails fitted (lots of roos where I live ), and flat black powder coating as standard I thought, they have the best quality bars on the market . My last hilux hit a car at 100 kilometres a hour when it failed to give way at intersection , wrote her car off and I drove home ,thanks to side rails that supported the bull bar ,awesome products, thanks ARB
Nice built. That’s serious off road beast. Many “no need” things for average user. Agree that if you can get it off the floor just take it. We did same. Just bought GR Sport off the floor. Someone was struggling to have a finance and we took an opportunity to buy it. 5 min decision. That’s strange but GR has got options not available with others 300 like Sahara, even with extra money. Like front lockers factory fitted or exclusive Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension system. Wrap looks great but decided to go with clear ppf due to practical reasons. Well done built guys
100 thousand on top of the base car, its important for viewers to know you can trip and do 99% of this country in a Corolla, you don't need all this luxury shit
Love the show but man.... Imagine how much travel you could do for the price of a bunch of mods you don't need. Apparently all the aftermarket suppliers know better than the Toyota engineers...
Motor uses a little oil but the reason is less friction equals slightly more oil burn, has a early warning light etc, all good really. How good are those mats, got them in the 200.
Why replace the electronic KDSS on the GRS??? It is one of the best features. Just to dodge the tax? Buy a Sahar 7 seat down if you want to change the suspension but not the GRS.
Hey Justin. Apparently, the 300's are using oil because of the hot Vee design, a thermal efficiency issue, from.what i have been told, they need good airflow when worked hard and also time to warm down. I would suggest holding off on engine mods until Toyota nuts out the issue, i have been led to believe they are aware of it. Run it in first before playing with the tune. Great rig mate, enjoy it
Hot V’s aren’t that new so I wouldn’t be too quick to blame that. However Toyota seems to always build faults into all new engines so it doesn’t stun me to hear they’ve done it again.
The engine is designed to use oil , they have made the tolerances a bit less to reduce friction and gain fuel efficiency, and less engine where ,just check it every 2000km or so and top it up as needed,
if your looking for a name i suggest "SPARTAN" like the movie it conquered and defended even though its not perfect . and the LC 300 series has the same characteristics. it fights much more hi tech and less expensive cars in its categories . well that just me .
i beleive they do use a bit of oil for a small amount of time while the engine is being run in, no issue with the engine at all though. just keep an eye on oil levels while running in. no biggie as you should be checking oil anyways. on another note how good is the colour of this thing.
Easy enough to project manage yourself and easy to do the SSM to save the luxury tax with the GVM+ pre rego! Cooky is the best and will be doing ours with a couple of tricks! Amazed you have not added the long range fuel tank to take advantage of more fuel for longer runs - but guess you guys really do not do the big remote stuff where 300 Lt. are needed.. Tidy rig that looks good and time will tell how it performs! Be great to see you guys support some smaller players with the gear rather than one big name but guess it is all about the $$$ and gear.
Obviously a nice car, but no mention of costs. This is where you guys are getting too big & losing touch with a lot of people. Just listing off features & mods like it costs nothing. Some mods cost thousands and takes people ages to save up for. Losing touch with reality and the people who supported you to help get you where you are now. There’s plenty of real families to follow on you tube now who are much more realistic
Very happy to answer any questions on price mate hey if you ask. The last time I listed prices for everything people got upset because they thought I was trying to sell them everything on the car. Can’t win mate hey. Sorry it’s upset you.
Hi guys. We are in Cooktown at the moment. Have just done the Cape. I absolutely love my 300VX. I’ve gone down a similar track with build but. I went with crzr roof cross bars riveted direct to the roof rails. The name for mine is Elcie. Enjoy your vids. Heading to western qld next
i have a land cruiser A LoT like that one.. almost identical. with that suspension and tires on. the gas tank is too small. need to put an auxiliary tank in on it unless u like going to the gas station constantly.. or put some blitz cans on at least that's ten gallons
Hey mate, just noticed when watching on the telly that the volume is way off. The ads blow my ears out and your video seems super quiet. Content is fantastic.
Hi Guys, Just wanted to know with your CB Radio what Ant whip did you get with the radio you have. As I am looking at getting one and there are a few different packs with different ant whips and you seem to have had no issues when travelling on the open road of in close country. Cheers Ray
What a great set up mate, so professionally built and real quality. I hope you and Becs and the kids enjoy it on your travels. Thanks for sharing...Cheers from the UK..
Awesome rundown and a very functional fitout on a reasonably modest budget. When you factor that most people would have that as a house deposit n that is basically your duplex, given you have the 200. In regards to a name "B Hauler" B for Boat, Bec or bloody kids
Car looks awesome Justin. I grabbed the Oricom TPMS with 10 sensors and I had nothing but trouble getting them to work - and at $500 for the kit, somewhat disappointing to be honest. I have had to go back to my Jayco installed Tire Linc TPMS unit. Safe travels guys.
Geez that’s no good mate. Did you get in touch with Oricom? I’ve had mine installed for ages and the only issue I’ve had is a flat battery in a sensor 👍
@@TripInAVan I did initially but there was only so much they could do over the phone, ideally, would be good to be able to visit someone / somewhere and get them working properly. I have no doubt that they are a good unit but the just wouldn't read the caravan tyres or air bags correctly. The fact that the airbags had a lower pressure than what was set for the overall tyres is an issue I think.
@@christhomas4260 Thanks mate, ended up just leaving the ones on the car which are working great. I have replaced the ones on the caravan and the airbag suspension system so I now have 6 spare sensors in the box.
Thanks for the Video, we also have a LC300VX, just about to get a GVM upgrade to 4T, I knew about the reversing lights need to be re positioned, but the indicators on the side of the car?? did not know that one cheers Les and Denise
great vid mate dont worry about them using oil there going to do that its the way they have been redesigned they have reduced some of the tollorances in the engine deliberately compared to previous engines to reduce wear and prolong the life of the engine provided you service it when it is ment to be done you wont notice the oil useage just keep up with ya sunday checks and you shouldnt have any issues :)
The Toyota air box dusting issue 😂😂😂😂 Sounds like it only happens in Australia or to people that don’t stop f… around with their cars with all sorts of mods. All mines in West Africa run stock 200 since day one in most brutal of conditions no snorkel or anything, I have never seen a 200 dusting on sites I worked at. You won’t find a maintenance manager in the region that had any issues , EVER.
I love following this family's adventures, nice couple and terrific children. Certainly moving on since the early days, now with two vehicles, nice van, boat and two properties - good on them they have earned every bit. Best wishes for your future.
Hey Justin, vehicle looks great we are about to take delivery of ours in the next month. I also like the Grappler 18" rims. What offset are yours they don't appear to poke out too bad, ie no need for flares?
Very nice build, do you think the Baserack has a lower prile than the rhino rack. If it is not to munch trouble can you measure from the middle of the roof to the top of the baserack. The Rhino rack is 110 mm, I am hoping the base rack is lower
Hi there. Just wonder lc300 sub tank. How do I fill it up. I got the fuel light on and go to fill it up. It only can fill up to 80L. But Toyota says it has 110L

Wow that 300 is Beautiful! I'll have to steal that wrap colour and call it mine.
Go for it
I’m a bit in love with that wrap and the drawer system. Nice build!
Cheers mate👌
8:28 that back looks sooo good! Mixed opinions on the backend of the 300, but I think they look nice as! And the wrap!!! Shhmickkkkkk
Thanks mate, it’s good hey

Tjs 300 is hard to beat but that looks smick
Justin just finished my build & used Kaon light weight half cargo barrier, they also do window guards "Molles" might be worth a look, cheers
Perfect thankyou I’ll look em up
Same just did our GX fitted with the Kaon half cargo barrier. Will see how we go may add the Koan shelf later on if needed.
nothing to add or subtract. just perfect.
Cheers mate happy Sunday
Looks good guys. Absolutely love the wrap.
Thanks 👍
Motor uses a little oil but the reason is less friction equals slightly more oil burn, has a early warning light etc, all good really. How good are those mats, got them in the 200.
Good hey.👍👍 I’ll keep an eye on the oil level but it’s been good so far after 6000km
Great vid guys. Something to watch while we eat our Sunday breaky 🤙 You’ll be catching metery Barras up in the NT with the new boat. Giddyup 👌
I hope so
I’d call it Leonidas after the Spartan king of the 300 men. Awesome truck a pure beauty well done
I like that
We were thinking of an LC GXL. After seeing this, I've just ordered a VX today 😂 Now for the countdown.
Best upgrade the vx
Wow ! What a bloody cracker jam packed with tech stuff ultimate .
Great vid, now the name for the 300...whoa. Black Betty.
Like it
Roslyn bay is such a beautiful spot Keppel is nice as well the coral noice
I am waiting for a GR sport to arrive, I think a pre rego GVM upgrade is on the cards, the savings in LCT will pay for the upgrade.
Absolutely

Fully agree! One of the best looking (and functional) 300 series out there!
Thanks mate
Great video mate, I have always liked how you guys always point out the negatives as well as positives. 👍
Thanks 👍

The stock 300 without the bull bar looks so much meaner.
Look good hey
That's my dream tourer right there.
The name for the 300, easy, Spartan.
Ha, good one.
Shudda just called it Dollars. Wish I had enuff , lov it, I can only dream!
Car looks great. The boys will be happy having the roof top tent…🚎
Tidy rig mate, not overdone or overloaded with unnecessary things. Safe travels 🍺
Cheers
Im barely 5 seconds in...thats some high grade camera you got there bro. Your picture quality took things to a whole other level.🇯🇲
Kaon does a great cargo barrier/shelf, the barrier also protects the windows.
Bloody awesome Justin you answered the question at the end I was going to ask why not the GR sports
The price tag hey. Think they are 25-30k more
The engine is designed to use oil , they have made the tolerances a bit less to reduce friction and gain fuel efficiency, and less engine where ,just check it every 2000km or so and top it up as needed,
Thankyou mate, good info
Lovely setup guy's ❤ I'd call her the 'The Miso' lol
Priscilla, QUEEN of the Desert.
My GR-S used oil for the first 10,000km, but then no oil use since then. We have towed now 3,500kgs for 20,000kms HAPPY DAYS.
Cheers mate
Mate that build is a beauty I’m currently in the process of building up my Prado but love ur build!!
That’s one of the nicest 300s I’ve seen. Love the colour of that wrap. Cheers Steve

The bullbar looks mint😊
Nice gear👌
The 300 rig looks awesome. Love the matt wrap. My name suggestion is 'Biggus Riggus' 😂

Beautiful setup, can we have a costing for vehicle only, then final all up costing please..
Very cool build,, love the rap

Awesome thankyou.

I work at Toyota they do use oil but the oil change at 10k service fixes the oil use
That wrap 👍💪
Just nailed it I think. Everything has a purpose. Looks awesome too.
