updated center caps stock wheels

agjake01 · Jul 12, 2024

Pretty sure the center cap is the standard Trailhunter cap. Here’s a side by side with the stock cap and TH cap.

Looking forward to swapping them out and awaiting member pics.

Also came from Tacoma Trail Edition and 4R 40th Anniversary wheel.

Looks like it could be easily painted to match what ever wheels are on your rig. I ordered a set (i don't care for the logo ones) and will have to make a decision on the color once mine arrives.

I'm not sure yet which wheels will end up on the LC.

Wanted to get these images out. I still have the rear two to do. Those have been kicking my butt with the removal tools…plus, loosing some light.

That looks amazing!!! Saved me $1k over a new set of wheels.

I wasn’t sold on the bronze, but looks excellent with the meteor shower.
Added to the list or simple mods!

Love the look compared to the stock center caps. For people ordering, might want to add a 5th so if you do the recommended 5 tire rotation in the manual you don't have to pop them out as you rotate.

You only need 4. The spare uses the hole for the center cap to mount to the vehicle, so you couldn’t put the 5th one on the spare even if you wanted to.

Good to know. I still think having a 5th one is a good idea. If one has to be popped out to rotate the spare, odds are they will get damaged at some point. Most people won’t rotate the spare so they are probably fine with 4.

For those that may want to paint it, this is the backside, which may be able to come apart. Since they are fairly inexpensive, may be worth sacrificing one to see. I didn’t purchase a 5th one…also, did a search for “Toyota center cap” on a parts search (BAM) and got some other results.

Maybe someone will come up with one that says "Land Cruiser" in the standard font. I think that would be very cool.

EOD Guy · Jul 13, 2024

If the center caps are removable, my plan is to machine some that says "Land Cruiser" or "First Edition"

I’m in!!

There’s also so many “old” emblems by doing an eBay search “Land Cruiser emblem”.

They should be removable pretty easily, there is a groove by one of the lug nuts and you can pop them off with a big flathead - at least that’s the case on 4Runners and tacomas, no reason to think these are different. I also ordered the Toyota lettering caps from BAM last night, think they look great with the meteor shower.

EOD Guy · Jul 13, 2024

So the decision is emboss or deboss the letters.

Definitely would be a market for those.

So I thought they would pop off easily like the 5th Gen 4Runner but the LC wheels don’t have the same slot. Has anyone worked out an easy way to get the caps off without removing the wheels? The BAM ones I ordered are arriving tomorrow.

If you didn't care if the old ones get destroyed you could use a self tapping screw and yank them off. Me, i'd just remove them and install the new ones.

adding to this topic

These caps are 3 5/16 inch in diameter.
Below are the 3 styles aside from the Silver toyota logo, OEM part # at the bottom. Ignore the price tag.

Personally I ordered mine online and picked up. Check official toyota part website and try to find your nearby dealership if you want it quicker: Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories: Official Online Store | Autoparts.toyota.com
Price is typically $15-18.

That been said, still waiting on my LC of mid Aug delivery, and totally not jealous of you lucky bastards!
