Trusted Dobinsons GVM Facility
Dobinsons GVM Upgrade – Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series
GVM up to 3,990 kg · Federally approved · Supplied & fitted at Smeaton Grange
More legal payload for your 300 Series
The 300 Series is a brilliant tow vehicle, but its payload is easily used up by a bar, drawers, a fridge and a family. Dobinsons takes the GXL, VX, Sahara and GR Sport to 3,990 kg GVM, with model-specific ratings for the GX and Sahara ZX.
As an authorised Dobinsons GVM fitter, we replace the factory springs and shocks with a matched, federally approved Dobinsons package. You choose spring rates to suit your accessories and a shock to suit how you drive, and we fit it, update the compliance and send you on your way.
- New GVM: Up to 3,990 kg – GX 3,870 kg. Sahara ZX on 20 inch wheels 3,930 kg (load rated tyre required).
- Towing: GCM stays at the factory figure

Pre-rego or post-rego?
Pre-registration
Fitted before first registration under the federal approval. Your vehicle is recognised Australia-wide for life, and it is usually the simplest and cheapest path if you are buying new.
Post-registration
For vehicles already on the road. An approved signatory certifies the upgrade under NSW rules and your rego is updated. Further charges for state based engineering may apply, and the vehicle may need re-certifying if it moves interstate.
Why Project Overlander
Trusted GVM facility
We fit Dobinsons GVM upgrades in-house at our Smeaton Grange workshop – fitted by our own technicians, not sub-contracted.
Paperwork handled
We organise the compliance plate, certification and rego update, whether your vehicle is new or already on the road.
Build it once
Combine your GVM upgrade with trays, canopies, drawers, long range tanks and 12V from the same workshop, so the whole build is planned around your new payload.
300 Series GVM FAQs
Will my towing capacity change?
No. Dobinsons keeps the factory GCM, so your towing capacity is unchanged. The upgrade lets you legally carry more of that combined mass in the vehicle itself.
What does the price include?
Prices include GST and cover the Dobinsons kit supplied and fitted by an authorised Dobinsons GVM fitter at our Smeaton Grange workshop. Further charges for state based engineering may apply, and load rated wheels and tyres are extra where a kit requires them.
