How are you liking this upgrade? Is it really that much brighter than stock?
Love it, like night and day. It was easy install after I figured out what to do.
On the way too is an upgrade to the front door LED lights.

To follow up my last post, attached are more photos of my setups.
I have RTT Ikamper mini, but did not have it in these photos. Probably in future
You may notice my ARB awning installed a bit further out from OEM roof rack because RTT edge will sit right above it (Ikamper RTT is 55” wide…wider than roofrack width). The 2 Rhino heavy duty cross bars which laid on top of cross bars of roofrack to give me 1.5” raise for easy install and take off RTT. Also they are the base for ARB awning brackets connected.
Happy Holidays to all and happy Land Cruiser

Damn, best so far. Love the American flag on the glass!
Can you believe that here we are, 14 months later, still waiting??
How do you like the rear tire swing? Does not having availability to the reverse sensors bother you?To follow up my last post, attached are more photos of my setups.

What do those do that the OEM points don't do?
Spare tire swing/carrier is ONLY used for off-road trip. So, I temporarily okay without reverse sensor in the woods ( I just turn it off). I believe that soon in future, aftermarket will come up with spitting wire idea to connect to the OEM backup camera
Most of time in the city, I still have spare tire at original place, that’s why I picked AT tire size OK3 275/70 R18
Most my setups ideas are put in or take off quickly. Personally/ my purpose is not carrying around in town with whole bunch of Overlanding gears.

I simply like them better. They seem at least as strong as OEM but I think they look nicer.
Thats slick! How did you get one, did you order it from the dealer?
Order it online from a Toyota dealership like Ed Martin. Much cheaper than the local stealership here in the Bay Area. The part is actually for a 5th generation Tundra or Tacoma but will work on the LC.

I just received it, please share your install tips.
Main dome light
Remove the whole light together. Don't try to remove the lens first. It will break like mine did. Look at photo on how its held, just yank out. Easier to remove lens with the whole thing out. Be careful not to break the lens. Remove the back plastic cover (photo). Remove old LED circuit board (no longer needed). Split apart the light and circuit that came with the new kit. Place one side below and the other one on the other side, connecting the pins that keeps it together. Fish the connector with the adapter. Plug it back in the roof then snap the lens back in place.
Vanity Light
Here you can pull out the lens first if you like or the whole thing then unplug. Remove the small clear plastic cover (photo) with a small flat head tool. Then pull out the LED light (photo). You will no longer use the clear plastic cover and old LED light. Take the plug end of the new vanity Light and plug it where the old LED light was. There is a lot of room in there but it will snap in towards one side and will stay put. Remove adhesive of the new lighg and secure in place. Fish plug out the opening and Plug it back in the car to test. Important, snap the lens back onto the vanity Light while it's still out and dangling. It will only snap back in one way or else it will keep popping out like it did with me.
Sounds like a lot, but once I figured it out, it literally took me only less than 5 mins to do the other vanity Light. Same goes with the dome light. Super easy if you know what to do.

Niiiice. I am looking at offroad trailers right now because I went the RTT on my 4Runner and it was a PITA opening and closing it to use my truck while base camping. For overnight stays it's fine but with an extended stay anywhere it will be a trailer for me from now on so I can have my truck free to explore without all the work to prep it.
Got the Carista Evo today and customized the following hidden settings on the LC FE.
- got rid of that annoying driver seatbelt chime
- trunk lid button lower dash from long push to short push
- signal chime from medium to low
- long push on remote to lower all the windows at once including the sunroof
