    Side body moldings

    Maybe get wider rock rails instead? Those will also help protect from door dings (from cars at least, not so much other tall trucks/SUVs). For instance:

    Round headlights after the FE?

    Are there markets other than the US that get the round headlights? In some markets I've only seen the two different rectangular light options -- the projectors we get and a reflector set. I can't imagine Toyota would drop the 1958 bare bones model. Will it still have round headlights? No...

    BFG KO3s for 20” wheels

    Ah I misread that as 60 instead of 65. Yeah, 34" is pushing it.

    Diode Dynamics Hitchmount Lamp Installed

    Extra backup lighting is why I've been thinking of getting one.

    Wheel upgrades

    I really like those wheels on the Land Cruiser.

    BFG KO3s for 20” wheels

    Almost certainly. 275/70R18’s fit well, they’re as wide and slightly larger diameter than those. A Toyota/Lexus engineer said at a SEMA vendor event that these are designed for a 33” tire. Misread the tire size -- yeah that size would be pushing the limits of what fits.

    How to order the stock 18" wheels?

    Yes, see: Post in thread '2024+ Land Cruiser Trail Dust Photo Thread' 2024+ Land Cruiser Trail Dust Photo Thread

    Only getting 17mpg

    Maybe, but the individual reports sometimes contradict that. I've excluded a few that only gave city driving results. And I'd still think for most people it's a mix, and the mix would be variable.

    Only getting 17mpg

    Pulled in data from IH8MUD (eliminating obvious duplicates from here) and one YouTube video. The IH8MUD thread is about MPG in general, not specifically low MPG, and has a lower proportion of low MPG reports. But also only about a dozen (non-duplicate) reports compared to almost 40 here...

    Only getting 17mpg

    A few reporting in the 20's for the Lexus? About half the responses in this thread have been in the 20's. Here's the distribution: Quick take: this distribution does make me wonder if there's some common/frequently occurring factor that causes several people to be stuck around 17, but I...

    Only getting 17mpg

    Several owners are reporting 20-something MPGs with the LC though. Like maybe half? Are any GX550 owners reporting that? My guess is this is an issue with any turbo charged 4 cylinder. The hybrid engine probably improves it a bit. I used to drive a WRX (during a brief misguided period...

    Distracting shadows in Low beam

    On my FJ this requires a super long screwdriver, not sure about the Land Cruiser.

    Land Cruiser i-force max AC inverter to charge Ecoflow Delta

    It would be a lot more efficient to charge it over DC -- if you use the AC outlet it'c converting DC to AC and then AC to DC, with power loses at both steps. Having said that, if anyone local wants to measure the waveform, stop by any I'll bring out my oscilloscope.

    Diode Dynamics Hitchmount Lamp Installed

    Thanks for posting this, I'd seen some other post saying it didn't fit and I couldn't figure out how that could possibly be. And good to hear it doesn't trick the LC into thinking there's a trailer. How easy is it to remove if you're going to use the hitch?

    Tire Upgrade ?

    The old Duratrac or the new Duratrac RT? TireRack.com and Discount Tire are both showing the Duratrac RT in the stock 265 and 275 sizes as available (I think Discount tire has a several week lead time on the 275's). I have the old Duratracs on my FJ, I didn't include them on the table since...

    Sliders with or without bump out?

    Unfortunately they only have pics with the bump out:

    Sliders with or without bump out?

    I'll probably get Greenlane sliders to replace the stock running boards. I'm thinking with the bump out looks better on the Land Cruiser (in addition to being more functional). I'm curious what everyone else thinks. I wish they had more pictures. I'll put a few more in the comments. All...

    Suggest a Dashcam?

    This is what Toyota's dash cam should have been like, if they aren;t going to use the built in cameras.

    Tire Upgrade ?

    Do they fit in the spare location? I saw another mention on Facebook, this time from a Canadian LC, that the Falken Wildpeak AT4W in 285/70R18 "fits [in the spare location] without trimming but barely."

    Running Boards/Steps Options

    Greenland has their aluminum rock sliders available now, that's the route I'm planning to go. Fairly light, reasonable protection, and wide enough to be a step. (And I'll be super grateful for the info posted in this tread when it comes to taking off the factory running boards!) 2024+ TOYOTA...
