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

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!

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

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

@peterj5751 Жыл бұрын

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.
