Hello, I am three weeks into ownership of a LC FE and have been learning all I can about lifts, tires, etc. I have the stock 265/70/R18 Nitto Grapplers, which are not bad at all, but I do hope to increase the ground clearance a bit for light off road use and for driving in water. The tire...

The color choice was difficult for me to say the least! Had my deposit on a trail dust and ended up finding a meteor shower at different dealer about 300 mi away. Two days of negotiations ended up with traded vehicles and I ended up with meteor shower which I love. I say hold out and get what...

Only based on some information I have read about off-road driving in general (not in manual), the M 1 or 2 could offer the driver the ability to start from a dead stop in sand or mud, in 2nd gear when in 4 Low. This prevents wheels from spinning too fast off the dime and digging your wheels in...

I picked up my FE two weeks ago and cargo cover came with it. Not an add-on. I have not opened it and probably have no use for it.

I was only thinking you might have entered the wrong amount on this thread, and therefore only trying to help if that was the case. I have round HL so no interest in purchasing. I guess everything on this truck is expensive so should not surprise me. Good luck on the sale - someone will buy...

I do not notice any difference on braking between the drive modes.

Did you mis-type that cost? $3100. For headlights? Cannot be.

I did some research before buying the 450 and wanted to go with the 88 for cost. But reading comparisons I was hearing it would take a bit longer to air up 4 tires, the 88 gets hot and can shut down after 25 min to cool, and also read a few places where the 88 could blow a fuse in the truck...

Ended up going with the Viair 450P on the compressor. Seemed like high quality in a small portable package.

I should stop reading this thread. Getting a headache and worrying too much. Not listing the 4runner for sale just yet.... Actually staying optimistic. Love the LC. Just want to make sure it gets me from point A to B reliably.

Awesome information from everyone. Thank you!

EOD Guy - you are really helpful so thank you! I've been studying a few brands - Viair, Morrflate, ARB, Thor, Dewalt. I want compact but also effective and durable. Will not use often, but when I need it I want durable and simple. Basic question - do you need to hook up to battery? Or can...

You need to start an on-line class for Land Cruiser owners. How do you know all this stuff? Thank you for the info!

Thank you to everyone here who is far more knowledgeable about these things than I am. I was just looking for some good bass with my music. :cry:

Hello, One thing I will be doing for sure is beach driving in Hatteras where airing down can be key. I was looking at portable air compressors to keep with me in the truck at all times. There are numerous choices and price points. Does anyone have recommendations or experience with these? TIA

Thank you! I would have never figured that out.

I was playing music today and got into the back of my first edition and it struck me that there seemed to be very little, or no bass coming from the rear of the LC. I looked around and noticed the back cargo door itself has an area of what appears to be where a woofer or larger speaker would...

We are all piling on here but there is something to this truck. Picked mine up a little over a week ago. Still driving conservatively and in ECO mode with 750 miles, but still ample power when needed and the most enjoyable vehicle I think I have ever driven. Even after driving the Lexus...

And I purchased this 2 days before the sale. Seems like a cool app. Looking forward to using it.

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe he increases the ground clearance by approximately .5 inch by increasing the tire diameter by one inch. The lift allows the larger tire to fit without any rubbing.

HUGE TOPIC!! I was bummed to find out that my favorite 1 Liter Yeti Yonder h20 bottle will not fit in any cupholders or really anywhere in my LC. ***However hold on!! I found a great alternative; The Nalgene 32oz wide mouth will fit perfectly in the cool box. Additionally, you can fit the...

Wow really nice looking! I have been looking at the Westcott Preload collar lift kit 2.5" front and .75" rear leading up to the delivery of my LC, but have never done any type lift before so trying to learn as much as I can. Is that the same lift kit you have? Do you know if installing that...

I tested as well and yes, all doors lock when I turn that key so problem solved. Now as long as that strange looking key stays in my trunks during a surf I am good to go!!

Great point! I'll need to check to make sure all doors get locked when I use that key. Thank you!!

Thanks for the responses on this. So TheBat has the answer....leave key fob in car, lock with physical key and when you unlock again with physical key, alarm does not sound. Thanks again!

Has anyone used the physical key? I tried it a moment ago and it opened the doors but set the loudest alarm off I have ever heard. Literally deafening. 12:30 am while doing a test run because I am driving to surf tomorrow and plan on keeping the physical key in my trunks. So the neighbors...

What drive mode are you in? ECO, Normal, or Sport? And could this make a difference?

So interesting because I have only had mine for 6 days but definitely taken notice of what seems to be a less powerful A/C than my 2017 4Runner which I have been thinking is strange. But have not driven out of ECO mode, so I bet that is the issue. Very good to hear and I will drive in Normal...

I was about to post this same video and came here and found it is already posted. The video is good but I think the best part starts near the end, at 32min 20 seconds, when he details his feelings about this LC250. From a novice who is exploring now, I think this company Dissent Off-Road is...
