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

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.

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 :)

@rivercitycarcare1266 Жыл бұрын

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
