I image it's the scales -- home bathroom scales aren't calibrated, there's a few pounds variation in the different weights between different scales. I'm not sure what alloy the wheels are, 27 lbs does seem pretty typical, maybe even on the low end of aftermarket 18" wheels -- see the second tab...

How/where did you route the cable?

You can check the spreadsheet. Some forum members who were swapping out wheels and tires weighed them. Edit: now that I'm at a computer: the range of weights I have for the R20 tires is 36-39 lbs. The manufacturer doesn't list a weight for these.

Yeah I was surprised it’s so much heavier. Made me decide I definitely didn’t want the 20” wheels.

If you're not planning to rock crawl and are looking to save some weight, you might look at the Greenlane aluminum rock sliders. 17" wheels have very little (a few mm) clearance from the brake calipers which is probably why Toyota is sticking with 18". If you aren't planning to offload a lot...

Most commonly used if you’ve got a pup in the back, so you can leave the window cracked open but still lock the doors. Here’s the cheap insecure version: By

Anyone know if tailgate locks like this work on the Land Cruiser's rear window? I have one for my FJ (along with the cheaper but less secure hardware store solution of a swivel snap) for when I want air going through the back window but don't want the truck freaking out that the window is open.

Google has noticed I keep looking at tire web pages and now I get tire stories in my news feed. In the 265/70R18 size it's only 39 lbs according to Tire Rack. Not sure it's better than the stock tire? It seems to be aimed more at the larger wheel sizes. Bridgestone Launches New Dueler Ascent...

For local trades/sales as well. Could be regional forums (like maybe California, or NorCal & SoCal) and then sub-forums under that (SFBay, Sacramento, etc.)

What tire do they put on the 1958? I should add that for reference. Is it a Michelin LTX Trail or something else?

7" on the 1958, 7.5" on the other two trims. The two most common (so far) Toyota wheels people are getting (mostly to replace the 20" once) are 8" and 8.5". See the second tab of the spread sheet at: 2024 Land Cruiser Stock 18" Wheel Tire Options After a quick search, the only standard load...

The few I've looked at generally require a minimum 8 or 8.5" wide wheel, wider than stock -- you'd need to upgrade your wheels. Do you know of any standard load options in that size? I might have to check, the few I've looked at are E load, a standard load or C load might work on the stock...

I just came across the Toyota Japan accessories catalog -- I'd noticed previously that none of the trims there come with the round lights. But in the accessories catalog, they are an accessory you can buy for any of them. That says to me Toyota intends them to be easily swapped out. I'll...

Like you it's my second FJ. If we had more space, maybe I'd keep it? But we don't, and what I get from selling it will help a lot in paying for the Land Cruiser!

Now I'm going to be on the lookout for a Land Cruiser in Fremont! You might want to specify Fremont CA in your post, there are so so many Fremont's.

Does the Land Cruiser get that compass option?

A ~1" leveling lift for the front would be nice since the low clearance point is up there. I'm with you though, I see all kinds of spacer lifts appearing and I don't really want to reduce the Land Cruiser's excellent articulation range with one of those, I'll wait until there's a real...

I had to look this up too . . .

Most new vehicles of any sort say you can't use chains. I suppose that's why, so they don't have to cover the damage under the warranty? In the Sierras in the winter we have to carry chains of some sort, but driving three peak tires and 4WD/AWD vehicles, they've always just waved me through...

Someone pointed out (and it was obvious when I sorted tires by weight!) that the General Tire Grabber A/TX is about the only "Off-Road AT" tire available in 33.2" 275/70R18 in standard load and the same weight range as the stock size standard load off-road tires. Maybe an option if you want a...

Several folks have reported that 275/70R18 heavy duty off-road tires fit (just barely) in the spare tire location. It does hang down a bit more. A few people have said 285/70R18 fits, but take that with a grain of salt.
