    18" vs 20" wheels on the Land Cruiser mid-trim w/ premium package

    This is a regional question: where is Toyota only shipping Premium package Land Cruisers with 20" wheels vs. 18" wheels? I'm in the SFBay area, and I haven't seen (in person or on Toyota's site) a local premium package LC w/o 20" wheels, salespeople I've asked have unanimously said they have no...

    Stock Wheels - offset and bolt pattern?

    Indirectly we know the First Edition/Mid-trim 18" is about 27.3 lbs based on the Car and Driver flex test video where he weighed the tire & wheel, using the tire weight. I'd really like to know what the 20" weighs!

    Safety sensors in a car wash

    Both my FJs always did that, I don't go through automatic car washes now. It never did any damage, but it's concerning!

    PlastiDip or Remove iForceMax branding?

    Until someone starts posting pictures of blacked out badges we'll all keep coming back!

    2024+ Land Cruiser Heritage Blue Photo Thread

    First, yes, that's a pretty good photo, much closer to reality. (I've been battling this problem for a decade with my FJ!) And I've got the 2 bike version of that rack! As for cameras, I design scientific cameras for a living, as a result I have unrealistic standards (for consumer cameras)...

    2024+ Land Cruiser Heritage Blue Photo Thread

    A lot. A camera phone sees gray-blue and grayish white and tries to make it into a pretty blue sky with white clouds. The amount of processing that goes into camera phone images is staggering, the sensors are so tiny the raw pixel data is junk (or in technical terms, swamped by shot noise)...

    2024+ Land Cruiser Heritage Blue Photo Thread

    Image from Toyota's Japan web site, where the Heritage Blue FJs have matching roofs. Can't quite put my finger on what this reminds me of . . .

    How to order the stock 18" wheels?

    Nothing on the back? Edit to add I've been trying to find the part numbers for the stock wheels as well, no luck so far. If I get stuck with 20" wheels I'm leaning towards these Tacoma wheels: TRD 18-In. Flat Black Alloy Wheel

    And trying to look up a frame I came across this and I’m super confused. It’s like a tiny bumper for your license plate? Amazon.com

    If I get a Trail Dust LC I’m thinking I’ll have to go with the California 1960’s legacy plate.

    Tire Upgrade ?

    No it was just a press release with the model and size, no additional specs.

    2 Pre-Owned LC's Available

    I've read that Toyota wants to move to a direct sales model because they're not really happy having one of the highest rated brands sold through some of the lowest rated dealers. Dealers are the worst part of the Toyota experience. The current "SmartPath" version is supposed to be a small step...

    2 Pre-Owned LC's Available

    That's hilarious. And they have new ones showing as MSRP on the same web site!?! What kind of scam is this?

    Tire Upgrade ?

    Thanks. The US Dunlop site has no info on that tire, all I can find is a Japanese language press release saying it will be on the Land Cruiser!

    Wheel upgrades

    With about 5mm clearance from the brake calipers according to Method. I wish they made 18" 70x wheels with the 35 offset. The best they offer is 18 offset. I started a list of stock-ish offset 18" wheel options on my tire spreadsheet if anyone has suggestions to add.

    Tire Upgrade ?

    Does anyone have photos of the stock 20" wheel with upgraded tires? Especially the 33" size 275/60R20? Also, what is the stock tire for the 20" wheels?

    Dash Camera

    Someone posted the Japanese Land Cruiser online catalog, and I ran it through Google Translate, and annoyingly it looks like in Japan there's an option to use the built in cameras instead! That would be so much nicer! Link to translated catalog: 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Web Catalog -...

    That seems a lot more likely.

    2025 Year Change

    I don't think so, it's not mentioned in any of the US materials. I don't think it's legal in the US yet, although I'm reading that there's been an effort to change the regulations in the last couple years. I wonder if they use a different fixture in the US or just lock out that feature?

    Tire Upgrade ?

    I've always asked for that on my FJ. Just make sure they actually do it. One place I wasn't keeping a close enough eye on it and they weren't actually doing it, by the time I caught it the tread was too different to swap it in anymore.

    2025 Year Change

    On one of the FB groups yesterday someone posted screenshots of the online catalog for Japan. Their base model has square reflector LED lights, the top model has the square projector lights our mid-trim gets (see below, with Google Translate version). I've seen those reflector lights on some...
