Wow, even color matched. Love the bull bar and hidden winch.

IMHO, one of the most useful applications when traveling is a dynamic weather radar. It can show real-time images of rain, air pressure, and storm fronts and be played forward or backwards to get an impression of what is going to cross your path. Some vendors like Jeep offer built in weather...

Maybe I missed it in this thread but did anybody have any suggestions for the body roll issue? That seems to be one of the few legitimate criticisms of the LC versus more expensive systems with active dampening or air suspensions.

Great question. I have noticed that many of the solar and power bank products are making this transition as we speak in their latest generation of products. Toyota probably had to make the decision on the battery tech 3+ years prior to releasing the 2024 model year. I am sure they do it based...

Agreed. The I-Max was never intended to be the type of hybrid sytem many are envisioning when comparing to other vehicles. Rather, it supplements traditional power trains and AWD/4WD distribution systems to provide the best price/performance/fuel economy in this class. I think a better...

GX with side mounts. Seems like RotoPAX is scalable and could be more flexible enabling a mix of fuel, water, or accessories depending on the scenario. Anybody have any experience with them and approximate costs? I would assume about $300-$400 per panel plus $100 per container.

Interestingly, when I was trying to decide between the LC and GX, I noticed that the GX community was not happy with the capacity of their fuel tank either. It is roughly 3 gallons bigger but they get substantially worse gas mileage and struggle to get a 300 mile range in some scenarios too...

Beautiful vehicle and location. Enjoy!

I noticed during checkout, the shopping cart automatically added clear coating, door guards, high speed charging cables, and a seller markup bringing the total for the miniature Land Cruiser toy car to $4,999. It was out of stock, but I could put down a deposit to get on a waiting list. 🙃

This one is advertised on some Toyota dealer websites for the Land Cruiser. It is about $40 cheaper on Amazon...

Love his videos although the cost of the headlight swap would make a Ferrari dealer blush. :)

There also appears to be some online at Target and Alibaba Express. https://www.target.com/p/2024-toyota-land-cruiser-250-prado-heritage-blue-with-white-top-1-64-diecast-model-car-by-paragon-models/-/A-92711132#lnk=sametab...

The perfect stocking stuffer 🎄🎅

Not sure if this fits what you are doing, but have you evaluated adapting one of these type of alternator chargers for your application...

Agreed. All the LC colors look great so can't go wrong. White with black interior is classic and is easier to customize with more choices for decals, wheels, and accessories. On the other hand, blue is probably the signature color for this new generation. Makes me want to get one of each ;)

I'm your huckleberry :-) I am happy to play devil's advocate and take the position that the I-Max hybrid should be more reliable as compared to traditional twin turbo powerplants. It's design has demonstrably fewer moving parts (one turbo, no alternator, starter, or mainline belts) and puts...

Here is a nice one with black exterior and creme interior in Dubai. https://www.atocars.com/listing/toyota-land-cruiser-prado-250-2-4l-petrol-gxl-2024-model-year-black-color

Nice. Anybody tried these yet?

Think of it as like a "snooze" button for gas tanks :)

Good points. Ecoflow claims that 1000 watt model can be fully charged using AC sources in about 56 minutes. During the current Prime day sales, many top brands are selling similar systems in the $500 - $700 range. They could make a nice complement to the Land Cruiser system.

Glad to hear you are safe and sound. I think the 2400 watt inverter is a major part of the Land Cruiser 250 value proposition that often gets overlooked by the Youtube reviewers.

Just noticed the liftgaye lights are now a $195 option on the Toyota build configuration. So $500 + $195. What is probably more important is finding a vehicle with no dealer markup or a clean configuration without questionable "port installed accessories". Combined, that could save you...

Apparently this Youtuber damaged her older generation Land Cruiser by dual sourcing a Jackery from a solar panel and the vehicle inverter. New products like the Ecoflow Delta 3 advertise the ability to leverage multiple simultaneous inputs (AC, DC, Solar panels etc.) to increase charging speed...

Awesome. Congrats!

Anybody try the ones on Amazon...

Is there a control switch for those cargo area lights on the side walls or do they just turn on and off automatically if the liftgate is open?

The factory exhaust works pretty well given the environmental and cost constraints for a vehicle like this. But if money is no issue, then there are probably some small incremental benefits in sound, departure angle, materials quality, and performance. In addition, the process of customization...

LCLC - PP R5

So if you get the 20 inch wheel upgrade package, is the spare also replaced or is it still the factory 18s?
