Dissecting the new Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series | fullBOOST
After receiving their Toyota LandCruiser 300 series just a week ago, the team at the Auto Innovation Centre in Melbourne have wasted no time in pulling it down for 3D scanning. Luke Truskinger gives us an overview of what lies beneath the skin including the FJA300 3.3L twin-turbo V6 diesel engine.

Thanks for coming out Luke and showing everyone what we are up to with the 300 Series!
This was great.
Tell Luke to take a mould of Brett Hill's hornet scoop on his Torana from when we were at school 🤣
You guys are legends. Thank you for doing what you do at AIC
This is a dream job right here. Honestly fascinating stuff.
Thanks for sharing!
2:53 - Thanks for the nice comments about our hoist 💪
Expensive jigsaw puzzle, but it has to be done so upgraded accessories can be manufactured, great video Luke 👌
I see a bigger picture here. Just imagine if all the top off roaders were strategically pulled apart, scanned and assessed on a quality and engineering scale. Crash testing is one thing. Top shelf engineering leads to better than normal longevity. I know a few good folk who'd pay for such information. I would if I knew Brand T had better build and components than brand N. It makes a purchase decision more informed. Excellent work.
They do exist… Autocar once did a story about the EU equivalent
Thanks for that one Luke. Great to see how big a role this sort of teardown plays in the aftermarket scene. Helps them hit the ground running. Cool upload 👌
That's fascinating - gigapascal steel in the middle of the chassis rails is very clever/efficient. But what's the bet the hot vee is a weak link? Awesome interview-style vlog (hard to frame up and ask questions at the same time #respect). Well done. And who doesn't want a workshop like that?
Get those warranty claims ready hey John?

Best video I've seen in a while, thank you for taking the big 300 apart and giving us a walkthrough, very interesting to see!
This is the most indepth video of a new car you can get ! Too bad you cant get this with every car
Best video on KZhead if you want to learn more about the new 300 series. Brilliant. Hats off. You made my buying decision much easier. 🙏🏽
Just watched Shaun on 4WD 24-7 punish a 300. Seemed to hold up ok.
Not really there is a knocking noise in the front suspension.
Yes, but will it do it day in day out? Probably not. Modern day Landcruisers are a shadow of the robustness of previous generations.
@@eaglen00b and you know this how...? This fella right here is the problem nowadays. Ignorant people confidently talking about things they have absolutely nothing about.
@@AA-vr8ez Sure OK, champ. In 1986 I bought a new HJ61 (12HT Diesel), then I sold the HJ61 and bought a 1995 HZJ75RV-MNQ (1HZ Diesel) and a 1995 HZJ80R (also 1HZ Diesel). I then sold the HZJ80R (regret doing this to this very day. This was the best Landcruiser in my opinion) and bought a new 2006 HZJ105 (1HZ Diesel). From there, Landcruisers started to go the way of a lot of modern day cars, i.e. increasing dependence on electronic doo hickeys and gizmos. The Landcruiser 200 series V8s were nice (I had a GXL LC200 company vehicle), but airbox dust issues and (again) the electronics were really complex and you can't bush fix your way out of a situation if something goes wrong. Now the J300 series.... even MORE complicated.... NO thanks. I still have the 1995 HZJ75RV-MNQ and it's just clicked over 538,000kms. I drive it a few times a week and is the most reliable Landcruiser I've had. How many kms/miles have you clocked in a Landcruiser? How many years of Landcruiser ownership do you have?
Toyota Landcruiser 300. Soon to be driving through the suburbs doing the shopping and school runs.
Yep that’s certainly the case but this is the way land cruisers have been designed and marketed since the 60 series. A reliable and capable off-roader that is comfortable enough to tour and do the school run.
Wow what a very interesting video , a side step from the usual but great. I could listen to them all day.
That workshop is cleaner than my house. Damn.
a plastic turbo inlets, connected with a silicon boot hoses sitting on the top of the very hot exhaust pipe, located way in the back on the motor, good luck replacing it and they will get dry and crack for sure, in FJ80 we have a name for it " pesky hose" and this one have two of them.
Amazing video!!! Did not skip a single frame!!! Thank you!
Crazy to think someone can pull that to pieces and put it back together.
Why crazy? It’s not an iPhone glued together.
@@ppal64 you capable of pulling that apart to the same extent and putting it back together?
I basically do this everyday as a panel beater, not to this extent but I'd be confident pulling this apart and rebuilding it exactly the same.
To anyone who works on cars this would be a dream. Not a rusty bolt is sight. Everything clean. No idiot has been there before you. The only difficult bit would be going back to working on rusty cars.
What a great video good to see the engineering behind it all.
Brilliant. So technical and professional. Engineering excellence. Toyota rocks. Electronic park brakes and Electronic assited steering are very common now. The 200 legend lives on to 300 tech.
toyota the original GOATs of car making.
the pimples on the body bump stop is probably used as 'tell tails' to tell how much and at what angles the body has been flexed. If the pimples are only buffed off on one outer edge of one stop them there has been a lot of flex up one side , if the tops of both are scrubbed then its GVM has probably been maxed out quite a bit.
Or an injection mould mark from manufacture
You are far to smart. Hats off
This video is massive... Thanks a lot
best 300 series review period……
Very detailed split view of 300, can't wait for future hybrid diesel
Thankyou guys awesome video
Very Impressive video, great work! P.S They still use Hydraulic steering on all 4x4 in the Toyota range because for heavy offroading if the wheel is stuck in a rut the electric can overheat whilst trying to steer.
didn't they mention hydraulic/electric hybrid systems in the LX600 ? , I am wondering since the ZX trim is usually very close to the Lexus LX, I am looking for an answer to that.
@@Voltedge89 same Lexus but maybe this of is not full ZB from the wheel and screen I can tell
@@mauzouq i am still wondering got my name for VXR in Alsayer , if the lx600 less than 6000kd more expensive I might go lexus anyway .
@@Voltedge89 for just book the lx600 you have to pay 2k DK it will be more expensive than the vxr for sure just don’t know how much expensive my thought the price will be 36k
THAT is how you make a underground hoist! my workplace has the ones with the posts UNDER the car, that you have to drive over a 4in tall steel plate that reaches outside where the arms mount on. It baffles me why that company wouldn't just put the posts out from under the car and just mount the arms on the post like the one in this video!
Next level info right here 👍
I love the trust and respect the presenter has for the Toyota engineering reputation and the reputation of the Land Cruiser Brand. In my country they are the maximum level of luxury, and status.
I would love to see all the point cloud data and how they scan the cars. That side is really interesting to me. I started off with a mechanic apprenticeship at Toyota before going to uni and now I’m a land surveyor scanning buildings rather than car.
Great video. Very interesting to see when she's all apart.
Looking at that engine and not just landcruiser specific but new engines wow, I’d hate to have to diagnose or do any kind of repair 😳
diagnostics have been made easier and harder. Everything runs through a computer, so you just plug it in, and it'll tell you what's wrong, so majority of the time it's a no brainer. It sucks when the computer doesn't know what's wrong haha.
The diesel filter near the rear wheel is a worry to me, on the 300😐
Toyota has made another fantastic product. Awesome content 👍😊🤟💯🔥
Thanx for the anatomy of the best off road on earth
Absolutely awesome thank you
Quite amazing reverse engineering! engine looks a nightmare to work on(probably like any modern engine i guess)
@Tony F even b58 supra bmw engine looks more simple than this engine
Its a nightmare to work on. kzhead.info/sun/lcZyk7GBkJShq4E/bejne.html This video in Arabic but you can get a look.
I would like to hear you opinion on the location of the fuel filter beside the fuel tank, it looks vunerable to me. Great video.
Loved this vid. Full credit to this bloke ..knows his shit 🤙
Good video where is the Starter motor situated ??
Center bonnet vents above the turbos be beneficial?
I wonder how many parts you have left over when you put it back together
Hey great vid Does the 300 have a egr , or just a dpf ? Thanks
Just like my workshop. Only tidy. Great vid. Need a 300 in my life ..
Toyota never used cam adjusters on front lower control arms on LC 100, 200 and 300...Impressive. Instead, the camber/Caster adjustments are located in the upper Control arm.
Better training than what I have got working for a Toyota dealership on these 😂
Awesome video nice workshop, I drove my friends land cruiser not the latest model, very nice to drive😁
That motor sitting there looks like the whole car being compact it into a square just a matter of tubes and wiring looks very messy but it long as it works
That chassis is a beast 590 plus! My nav np300 had a bent frame..test was only 250 . Basically chinese butter
So when do we get the repair manual like the old days? That’s part of pulling it apart yeah?
Would have been good to see a close up of the Alternator and how difficult it would be to change. Also the belts
The LC ute had the alternator problems not the 200
@@jasonswift7098 They are in the same place . This is about the 300 . Have you seen where it is ?
@@RGF56 the 200 series LC did not have alternator issues that was the 70 series utes.
love that lift
Even though its the soccer mums cruiser, the fuel filter would be the first modification I'd do, they dropped the ball right there and needs to be re located somewhere alot less stupid. Designed and mounted on the same Friday arvo or Monday morning.
can you do this for a Prado 120 please? actually a 2005 GX 470 would be ideal, but I'll take what I can get....thanks
Very interesting, majority of people would never dream about dismantling their brand new vehicles. But AIC are pre ordering theirs! Great video 😎👍
I have dissected a n80 hilux and found that the ecu/bcm, loom and relays are very prone to water damage. One blue relay is not cheap @ around $50 x 30 or so. The electrical system seems to be very precise and poorly protected from water. Unlike older Toyotas where as you can basically throw them of a diving board.
Any idea how long it will take for the GVM aftermarket stuff to become a reality?
Ha ha, amazing that those boys have disassembled a 300 so far, probably one of the first to do so. Here comes the stamped of accessories, get your credit cards ready there'll be a lot of 200 plus K 300 series running around, even before the cut and shut truck conversion boys get to it, could see the first 300K cruisers? Looking like an American F truck for me, likely a Ram 2500.
Have you found the faulty part in the front suspension
That motor will be awesome to work on!
Weapons, v6 hot vee is the bogans kryptonite.
love this!
incredible!
Great vid
Your people will do that, gold hahaha
Riddle me this please, up to the 80 series all Land Cruises and Prados had six wheel studs. Then with the 100 series Land Cruiser it was changed to five stud while Prado remained six stud. Now with the 300 Toyota has changed back to six stud again. It can’t be due to weight so why the changes. Just one of those things that makes you go Hmmmmmm. Thanks Stuart 🇦🇺
Trying to swing the market through design. 6 stud continued to remain popular through many models.
@@milesabove5259 The 5 much more than widely spaced out wheel studs designed is objectively superior IMHO. Structurally stronger and eliminating the issue of idiots trying to get away with screwing on only 3 of the 6 nuts. Problem is probably aftermarket not catching up.
Amazing ❤️
Just goes to show the enormous complexity of the modern Motor vehicles, a far cry from working in the back shed on a weekend on your EH Holden. I'm sure there's more technology in the Toyota Landcruiser than the so called Apollo rockets doing the so called moon missions
"So called"! Ha ha
Brilliant!
I like the front suspension which is not the horrible MacPherson type. Long time haven's seen wishbone fronts on a newer vehicle.
Reverse engineering to make it better... Lower control Arm looks like 2000bucks a piece, CV would be 1200each. That engine looks complicated.
That front diff gives the distinct impression of being the most explosive front diff Toyota has ever used - straight from the Yaris?
Everything in this car is 3times bigger than the Yaris :)
What a way to knock off work and find this legend boys free sticker haha
AMAZING VIDEO!!! NEED MORE OF THIS!
My point exactly on the air flow to cool the turbos
Not sure about the breathers being classic Toyota. Toyota are well known for having usless breathers right on top of the diff and gearbox sucking in water at will.
Nice Gladiator in the background! ;)
It used to look the same.. ok not quite!
Hi there, not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but i have an LC300 with slight rough idling. We took out the injectors and had them serviced, but the problem still persists. Fuel pressure, air flow, map sensor, all the basics seem fine. Im wondering if mounting failure is a common fault on these cars? Or would anyone have any other suggestions on what else could possibly cause the slight rough idling? Its most noticeable at around 1000rpm, after that you cant really feel it anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Also, what an awesome video!
Top video impressed what us Aussies can do
Thank you
Sweet hoist man!
Thanks Mo
Didn't realise Stephen Merchant was now fixing and upgrading cars!
Bun Bun For Lunch Luke?? 👍🍻😜Springvale for life haha!!
Just a thought would it be possible to add a tailgate as I have canceled my order as I would find it totally unworkable without one as we have had four Landcruisers and actually use them as a work horse.
Sad they don't offer the split as an option.
hello are the shockabsorbers manufactured by Toyota/Denson
"That let's you text while you drive" 😂😂
Just wondering who does the ANCAP test vehicles and then rates them based on International standards etc, which company has the contracts to evaluate those cars vehicles etc?
ANCAP.
@13:36 "that's some pretty good s__t" haha
What’s the name of the company doing the scanning
I cant see the block with the engine out ! Wow
Luke would know what a hornet scoop looks like! Tell him to take a mould of Brett's Torana from when we were at school 😉
Use the 79 Series Bonnet
hi, would you have scans for bullet proofing armoring panels?
AIC will be scanning the entire vehicle.
Wow the Vehicle lift seems pretty cool, any infor on it's type or brand name?
they posted here in the comments about their hoist.MAHA Australia & New Zealand is the name of them,i think.KZhead them.
got to be said, i found that rather fascinating - but then i just happen to be pulling one apart that is in bits, i can't show or share images as its been heavily armored and tested with around 12lb of explosives which went off next to the drivers side (left), as far as i am aware, it didn't like it much, probably rolled over once or twice, some deformation at the drivers door and floor area, the survival space was all in tact, but i can't say the same for the rest of the car, the chassis is shredded along with the fuel tanks, so it wouldn't get very far, naturally the wiring failed nearly everywhere and i'm sure would render the vehicle completely useless after an attack, but even items like the anti roll bars, shredded, whatever is on the rear of the transfer case, and i did observe in your video, was shredded with some holes into the transfer case, so oil would be lost, its a very complex machine with an awful lot of external components that get damaged
do you have any scans of a 60 series?
What other car are you Scanning, I have subbed
We have covered a GR Yaris.
What make is that hoist? I want one
@5:48 As someone that likes to work on a simple Toyota 3L (2.8) engine, this scares me...
the engine looks so complicated to even try and pull apart
Lol its a nightmare to pull apart. kzhead.info/sun/lcZyk7GBkJShq4E/bejne.html
I hope the aftermarket makes parts for the LX600
Always wonder why people do the GVM upgrades for 4wds, why not just buy a car with a higher gvm?
I guess that means buying an even bigger vehicle?
@@fullboost yeah that’s true!
If every prospective buyer watched this presentation Toyota would sell a ton of 300 series Cruiser's.
