Outback vs. Venturer vs. Signature: LC300 Bull Bars Explored

Let’s face it. You didn’t get yourself the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series just to cruise around on suburban streets, congested highways and direct route freeways, did you?

You wanted to test that 3.3-litre diesel V6 engine as you scale, descend, submerge and attack all the tricky obstacles and terrains you’ll encounter in the Australian Outback.

Just one problem…

The second you leave the tarmac in pursuit of dusty trails and muddy ravines, your LC300 is at risk from potential damage caused by animal strikes, tree branches, stumps, large rocks and even just descending a steep slope.

A sure-fire way to minimise damage, however, and ensure your LC300 continues looking and performing at its best, is with a bull bar – but not just any bull bar.

You want the strongest, most-refined bull bar imaginable that’s not going to eat into your GVM.

A bull bar that’s destined to protect your LC300 from enduring off-road trips, and to provide greater vehicle clearance, so you can scale and descend mountains with peace of mind.

A bull bar with rated recovery points, provisions for lighting and auxiliary accessories, a winch frame to get yourself or your mates out of a jam and more!

Well, at TJM, we didn’t just engineer one custom-designed LC300 bull bar that met all of these conditions; we engineered three – the Outback, the Venturer and the newly announced Signature.

So, without further ado, let’s dive in and explore these three market-leading bull bars, so you can see which one is right for you and your LC300.

Outback Bull Bar

Sporting integrated 8000 kg rated recovery points as standard, the TJM Outback Bull Bar is designed to thrive in even the most extreme conditions thanks to its all-steel construction delivering unparalleled protection to vital components.

There’s a multi-fold channel that’s been strategically pressed and folded to maximise impact strength, 63 mm-diameter tubing, rolled cato straps and an improved approach angle to minimise scuffs, scrapes and the potential of getting stuck.

The Outback Bull Bar also features an innovative lighting unit that combines four essential elements into one non-invasive round profile.

Equipped with an indicator, parking light function, DRL and fog lights as standard, you’ll be able to light the way ahead, alert others in your convoy and cut through any and all types of fog flawlessly.

And finally, a design feature that’s unique to the LC300, is the Direct Airflow to the Intercooler.

For context, Toyota’s improved intercooler significantly improves the combustion process in turbocharged systems, thus increasing the engine power effect.

The unique design of the Outback Bull Bar has been specifically designed with shaped cut-outs to direct airflow to the intercooler. This ensures your LC300 will exhibit peak engine performance no matter where you end up or the challenges ahead.

To put it plainly, with the TJM Outback Bull Bar equipped to your LC300, nothing will stand in your way as you claim your title as king of the mountain wherever you go.

Sporting integrated 8000 kg rated recovery points as standard and an all-steel construction, the TJM Venturer Bar is equipped with everything you need to tackle even the most extreme conditions in the Australian Outback.

Its bold, angular aesthetic, complete with tapered wings, is sure to catch attention, but it’s the impact protection spread right across the front of your LC300 that you’ll appreciate even more.

This TJM Signature bull bar comes 4x4 equipped with an integrated steel winch-mount, 8000 kg rated recovery points and reinforced Hi Lift jack points.

Just like the Outback Bull Bar, the Signature Bull Bar comes equipped with 4-in-1 LED lamps featuring an indicator, parking light function, DRL and fog lights as standard so you’ll be able to light the way or alert others in the dead of night, and cut through fog flawlessly.

And impact strength, it’s got that in spades.

A high strength, multi-fold alloy channel design is backed by a tough central chassis that mounts securely to your LC300 for maximum frontal protection.

Add to this upper pipework providing additional strength, with 76 mm steel centre tubing and 63 mm steel outer pipework for extreme obstacle deflection and vital headlight protection.
