Top Accessories for New LandCruiser 300 Owners in Australia

The Toyota LandCruiser 300 has quickly become the benchmark for full-size touring and towing wagons in Australia. Whether you use it for family holidays towing a caravan, remote outback touring, or heavy-duty work duties, the factory-spec LandCruiser 300 is a brilliant starting point – but most new owners find there's a shortlist of upgrades worth doing early. This guide runs through the accessories new LandCruiser 300 owners in Australia should be thinking about first, and why each one earns its place on the vehicle. You'll find the full range in our LandCruiser 300 accessories collection.

Why New LandCruiser 300 Owners Look at Upgrades Early

The LandCruiser 300 arrives well equipped from the factory, but Australian conditions ask more of a vehicle than most manufacturers design for out of the box. Corrugated outback tracks, deep water crossings, high GVM-limited payloads and constant towing all put extra strain on suspension, protection and electrical systems. New LandCruiser 300 owners typically prioritise a handful of key upgrade categories: front-end protection, suspension, underbody protection, towing gear, wheels and tyres, and air intake protection. Getting the order and combination right from the start avoids costly re-work down the track.

Bull Bars & Front-End Protection

A bull bar is usually the first accessory on the list for LandCruiser 300 owners, and for good reason – it protects the front of the vehicle from wildlife strikes, provides mounting points for a winch, driving lights and UHF aerial, and sets up the vehicle for everything that follows (like a compatible suspension lift).

The Raxar Looped Bull Bar is a popular choice for LandCruiser 300 owners after a traditional steel loop-style bar with strong winch compatibility, while the Raxar No Loop Bullbar suits those wanting a cleaner factory-style look while retaining airbag compatibility. For owners chasing a premium aluminium option, the Rival 4x4 Bumper is a lightweight, high-strength alternative that keeps front-end weight down – a real benefit given how much accessory weight stacks up on a fully kitted-out 300 Series. Offroad Animal also offers the Toro and Predator bull bars for LandCruiser 300 owners chasing a distinctive, rally-inspired look with airbag compliance.

Suspension Upgrades

Once front-end protection is sorted, suspension is next on most new owners' lists – particularly if you're planning to tow, carry camping gear, or fit a bull bar and winch that add weight to the front axle. A well-matched suspension upgrade restores ride height, improves load-carrying capacity and keeps handling predictable when the vehicle is loaded.

Tough Dog offers a full suspension lift kit range for the LandCruiser 300 across GX, GXL, VX, Sahara and GR Sport variants, with load options to suit everything from a lightly accessorised tourer to a fully loaded touring rig. Pairing a lift kit with Tough Dog Upper Control Arms and a Panhard Rod keeps geometry correct and avoids the driveline vibration issues that can crop up with a lifted IFS front end. For owners who tow frequently and want load-levelling without a full lift, an Airbag Man Air Suspension Coil Helper Kit or a Tough Dog Coil Insert Airbag is a simpler, more affordable way to firm up the rear when the van or trailer is hooked up.

Underbody Protection

The LandCruiser 300's independent front suspension sits vulnerable componentry – sump, transmission and transfer case – closer to the ground than older solid-axle LandCruisers, which makes underbody protection a sensible early addition for anyone planning to do more than bitumen driving.

Custom Off-road Bash Plates are available in a range of kit configurations for the LandCruiser 300, from a simple front and sump two-piece kit through to a full four-piece setup covering the transmission and transfer case as well. For owners heading further off the beaten track, the full kit is worth the extra outlay – it's far cheaper to fit a bash plate than to replace a punctured sump or transfer case housing. See the full range in our underbody protection collection.

Air Intake Protection

Australia's water crossings and dusty outback tracks make a snorkel one of the more practical additions for a new LandCruiser 300 owner, particularly if remote touring is on the agenda.

The Safari Snorkel V-Spec raises the air intake well clear of dust and bow wave, and is a proven option for the 300 Series. Owners wanting a more discreet factory-integrated look can step up to the Safari Snorkel ARMAX, which follows the vehicle's body lines more closely while offering the same protection.

Towing Gear

The LandCruiser 300 is a serious tow vehicle, and most owners will be hooking up a van or trailer at some point. A properly rated towbar and correctly wired harness are non-negotiable if you're towing regularly.

The TAG Towbar Kit is purpose-built for the LandCruiser 300 Series and comes with the bulk of what's needed to get towing, and pairs well with a TAG Direct Fit Wiring Harness and TAG Tow Ball Mount for a complete, correctly rated setup. If your combination weight regularly pushes toward the vehicle's towing limits, it's worth reviewing your suspension setup (see above) at the same time, since a loaded tow ball weight will affect ride height and handling.

Wheels & Tyres

Upgrading wheels and tyres is often one of the final steps once protection and suspension are sorted, giving the LandCruiser 300 the ground clearance, load rating and tyre profile suited to how it's actually being used.

The LandCruiser 300 Wheel & Tyre Package, pairing Black Rhino Stadium wheels with Falken Wildpeak AT3W all-terrain tyres, is a straightforward, already-matched option for owners who don't want to source wheels and tyres separately. For a more off-road-focused look, ROH's Assault and Rock 6 wheel ranges are also popular fitments for full-size Toyota wagons and are worth considering if you're planning a wheel size or offset change alongside a suspension lift.

Where to Start: A Suggested Build Order

For most new LandCruiser 300 owners, the following order works well and avoids having to redo earlier work:

1. Bull bar – sets up front-end protection and accessory mounting points
2. Suspension – matched to the added front-end weight and your typical load
3. Underbody protection – bash plates to suit your planned terrain
4. Snorkel – particularly important before any serious water crossings
5. Towing gear – towbar, harness and mirrors if you're planning to tow
6. Wheels & tyres – the finishing touch once the rest of the build is locked in

Not every owner needs every item on this list – a weekend tourer has different needs to a remote-area traveller towing a full-size van – but starting with front-end protection and suspension gives you the strongest foundation to build on.
