Australia's First Modified 300 Series Landcruiser Off-Road Test & Review 

Hahaha how wild is it!

Totally agree with that, He's super super hungry for it, Rev head and Doesn't act a different way, talked to him on social media, it's a bit harsh what some people say cause he's with sparesbox, bunch of losers lol.

@@HyperVerda Agree - sadly people with 10$ keyboard think they are real activists.

Thanks so much mate! Really appreciate the kind words!

Very natural presenter. Though, 4wd 24/7 is both a show and marketing company. Sam or the business he works for would pay in sponsorship or some agreement to go onto the show. No one knew who he was until he went on the show. So the marketing has worked! Not taking anything away from Sam though. Top bloke!

Yew!!

Yewwww!

Thanks Adam! I'm hoping to get it on the dyno soon and get some true power figures compared to claimed!

You're not wrong mate. Will be interesting to see over time.

Our 100 has 2 plastic square pieces hanging underneath our 100 series and have been pelted by rocks which are protecting the shockers from alot of damage. I can't see some of the protection plates being "plastic" as a problem unless you are rock crawling maybe. It is nice to see, however alot of under body protection. Not sure how the intercoolers will go

@@robyncrighton1255 They probably won't be a major issue if travelling the outback, or dirt roads generally, but I can't see them lasting off-road where you have to navigate rocky tracks. Most of the High Country in Victoria would see them left in tatters.

Agree, but almost all turbo diesel fourbies have front mounted coolers now. Good bull bar will be even more essential

@@user-rv6zk1pp7r A front mounted intercooler is fine, but most are mounted higher up with the radiator, not low down on either side of the bumper. Toyota's quote regarding the factory bullbar: “Thermal management was a major point of focus in the development of the new bullbar range, due to the placement of the Landcruiser’s twin intercoolers on either side of the front bumper… ensuring cooling and durability performance.” Durability and performance? Perhaps not so if you intend to drive in places like the High Country where mud, sticks, rocks and water crossings may play havoc with such a design.

Might have to!

Make sure you subscribe! Got something coming up ;)

Fu*k 4wd24/7 they have gone shit nothing but an advertisement show now

@@karen7366 Let’s have a forced UHF conversation that doesn’t sound natural at all.

Defender Reliability ? 🤣🙄

Sadly I didn't get a measurement! Next time I see the lads I'll try remember to take a measurement.

285

@@benmcgowan233 285/70 or 285/65?

No doubt mate, but who wants to pay $150k for a low mile GXL 200 series with no mods? I’m not…

Fortuner for going offroad and LC for going offroad and returning home again.

@@svein-haraldribland8559 how does not having a diff lock make a 4x4 better off road?

For that price you could own some of the junk competition which is full of rubbish electronics & unreliability AND it will depreciate like a bat out of hell. Or you can forgo some of the junk electronics & have a reliable vehicle which will hold its value better than anything else out there, especially in its category. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@GR8Tmate ahh the old 79 series argument. Good for you.

@@elrud5964 Nothing yo do with the 79 series at all. Somebody said you don’t get much for your $110k but it’s all relevant isn’t it. You could buy a junk LR Disco for similar money & have all sorts of interesting gadgets. It would also come with its share of annoyance, like poor reliability & crappy resale. That was merely my point. Have a great day 👍

@@GR8Tmate its nothing to do with relevancy, you just objectively don’t get much for the money compared to other vehicles in the market. You are doing mental gymnastics to come up with why the 300 is good value. Instead of looking at what you get for 110k. Which is very little.

@@elrud5964 Not exactly & there’s no mental gymnastics whatsoever. I’m not a Toyota 200 or 300 series owner, however for someone like me & the sort of travel I do, I would argue I’m getting the most important thing (all vehicles at this point should off) which is reliability. For where I travel, $110k is we’ll spent when it might prevent me from perishing on some remote track somewhere. I could spend that $110k elsewhere & no get that most important feature. The other other features I mention are merely a bonus so you can put that aside. Perhaps you could look at my point this way. I buy $110k 300 series & spend $25,000 getting it ready to tour. I keep it for 5 years & travel 100,000km with it (& because I look after my vehicles) I sell it for $100,000. Total cost of owning that vehicle was $35k. NOW, if I were to do the same thing with a LR (insert any number of other brands) at the end of the 5 years I would have dropped about $75-$80k. So, the way I look at it, sure I might not get “certain items” which clearly rate lower on the scale to some like me but I get LOADS for my $35k. I’m not trying to be difficult, I’m just giving you another way to look at what you are saying. I still won’t buy a LC300, it just won’t do what I need it to do, I need a vehicle that offers me less of what you are talking about but I will end up spending much more than $110k 😂

Good vid though

In the middle east, all variants, let it be gx,gxl,vxl,zx, come with front and rear lockers.

What people usually do not know is the fact that not Toyota or any manufacturer is actually deciding on the configuration and equipment of the models BUT the general importer of the very country.

Heaps of space to access all the components when you remove the plastic :)

These are the factory alloy wheels :)

35s would be epic 🤘

@@SamYoung4x4 Can you get 35s on the factory rims With 2" lift

But idiots swear by them? 🤦🏼‍♂️

Standard GVM is less on the 200 and 100 series, than the new 300. Can't see what people are getting hysterical about, personally. The majority of current 100 do 200's are over GVM now anyway!

@@robyncrighton1255 not hysterical at all. My point is that all car manufacturers now are on the edge when it comes to gvm and it’s even more apparent in 4x4s because they are used for touring. The freeboard just isn’t enough for the average family and I don’t think gvm upgrades are the answer. They are just a bandaid. I am the first to say just take less stuff but the wagons are really bad across the board for hitting gvm early.

@@47Rolling Sorry perhaps I didn't get the comment in the right context. I was commenting on the fact that people who are bagging the new 300 series Landcruiser's payload ...they perceive it is terrible. Perhaps some of them need to look at how much a previous series of Landcruiser was less than the 300! People can GVM to their hearts content, but unless they somehow manage to get their GCM increased, it will not help their towing capacity. I agree that the payloads are small- ish, but I believe the reason manufacturers won't increase the GVM from factory is because of the costs to do so and effect it will have on the vehicles unladen handling and ride. Gee, if the traffic police started pulling in 4wds and vans for weight measurements..they will rake in the money 💰 🤑 💸 🙄

How is that different from any other contemporary wagon out there? I’d be pretty confident that a Pajero, patrol or ford Everest are all about 700kg payload. Even something like a RAM is about the same to meet Australian standards to maintain a car license rego, otherwise you need an LT license (yes, it does have a higher GCM but we aren’t talking about that)

Toyota lyf. Cough up for those lol

Haha!!

Expensive lil' thing isn't it!!!

sept 2023 thats $70k U.S $ id buy one

Tempting! :D

Thanks mate!

Nah

Hubby approved

TMCA specifies the level of trim spec on the Toyotas, not the factory. As an example VDJ79 utes and troopcariers are standard with Reversing cameras in NZ.

People buy them regardless.

Landcruiser buyers are sheep,they would buy one if it had no differentials at all and brag about their statues resale value

They do, it's called the GR

Still a Nissan tho 🤣

@@jacobrevillator1947 yep so shouldn’t be dusted after 8 kilometres

Not everyone wants to rattle their kidneys out their arseholes though. Some like to drive in luxury monday - friday then hit the tracks

@@adambennett1193 you are the %90 of people who buy a 4wd I couldn't think of anything worse that driving a big rig like ours in the shity just to maybe drive up a dirt road once a month

@@peopleshit5661 Not everyone wants to bush bash, majority use them for towing caravans or boats which need a low range for parking or the odd dirt track and hitting the beach.

What problems you have with a new 300 ?
