    Roof Rack / Front Bumper

    Westcott is light, stylish, and very reasonably priced. Lots of addons and of course compatible with the usual accessories. Install was easy. The only negative point I’d give it is the sealant, and only Sherpa does that “right” (aka idiot proof) in my opinion. Would recommend

    26 mpg with 35” tires!!

    I suspect it’s a combination of drag and lead foot. You have nothing on your right, not even crossbars, that’s definitely helping. Still, 26 seems high. Outlying enough that I would recommend you double check your work! What is the elevation gain/descent of the miles you drove?

    New Cruiser!!!

    Skid plates, rock slides, a/t tires, and patience will get you across anything that isn’t an expert challenge course or underwater

    🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

    Both seat deletes+plate system cost 3090. The front base plate side screw holes are missing their threading so I’ll need to wood glue to triangle pieces (fortunately they’re just aesthetic) The bolts that secure the whole system to the car are definitely incorrectly sized. I think they must...

    🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

    After a lot of grief and cursing, got the goose plate in. Parts missing/incorrectly sized, but got it secured enough. Looks good at least. Not much looking forward to the installation process of the seat delete now though

    Car Camping Solution

    I usually don’t like to do this but I feel compelled to share my annoyance with the goose gear plate system installation process. All was going fairly smooth until it came to bolting the base plate to the hybrid battery cage. The thread matching is atrocious. I have to assume there’s some kind...

    Real World mpg

    You can get maybe .4mpg more by honking a fourth time and driving during periods of solar maximum only

    Real World mpg

    With Westcott roofrack and two pelican vaults on top I’ve been averaging 21.5-22.5 with majority highway. The key is to keep Rpm’s at 2 or under. Use eco and cruise as much as possible, but assist your cruise to avoid unnecessary braking or excessive accelerating. AC off when conditions allow...

    Was offroading on beach (Assateague Island) and dash lit up with about 10 warning icons

    You can turn that all off. The annoying one that I’m not sure if can be disabled is BRAKE!!!!! Idk about the stability warning stuff in the gauge cluster. Definitely slightly irritating in 4lo but doesn’t block anything important

    Broke My LC250

    Eh, I go slow and if I hear it make contact I get out and check underneath. That’s what I’ve always figured they were really for. An alarm system not a shield

    Was offroading on beach (Assateague Island) and dash lit up with about 10 warning icons

    Take it to your nearest convenient auto shop and have the codes read. Can’t really help you till we know. I can tell you I’ve done some gnarly off-road in mine with not dash lights to speak of. Only time I got a Christmas tree was when I tried to disconnect the swaybar at 19mph. It didn’t like that

    Scout Traveler

    I have to say, when I got the Land Cruiser I felt like I was making a number of concessions. If the traveler is delivered as advertised, it feels like my perfect car. Except for the width maybe

    Premium Fuel or not?

    I had no choice but to put 87 in a near empty tank today since the only gas station at the start of the trail I was going didn’t offer premium. 31mi of moderate-severe terrain followed by 60mi of rural dirt and paved roads. I never really go in excess of 2-3k rpm. Elevation 4k. No crazy mods...

    Do transmission coolers not help?

    1958 folks.. regrets?

    I think LCLC without premium or 20” strikes a good balance between luxury and budget, if you’re not intentionally looking for low-tech.

    My next car if they keep that price below 70. Love the look, love the size, love the hood-trunk. And canopy roof. Wonder what the clearance is? Hopefully 9 considering all the other off road features it’s got. Regarding the rivian comments: Different aesthetic Body on frame

    Who has the highest miles/kilometers?

    Someone said you just need to bed them (rear specifically). You can google how to do that

    Who has the highest miles/kilometers?

    I’m at 8k after picking the car up about a month ago. The answer is living in the west and needing to frequently drive between large cities or across states, and lots of joyrides and road trips. I spend an absurd amount of time in the car. I don’t like hiking by myself but driving is...

    Roof Weight Limits

    The bare roof, as in the roof of the actual car, or the weight limit of the roof rack that sits above the roof. The latter will vary based on what rack you use.
