This is awesome! Really nice piece. Do you have links to the switches that work with it?

Another option for the rear... Rocker Switch Seat Heater - LeatherSeats.com This company has a few different pushbutton switches. Two are rectangle like Toyota buttons. I'm waiting for someone else to be the guinea pig ;-)

Anybody try this kit? https://www.rostra.com/toyota-seat-heater-with-custom-control-switch.php I’d be curious if the switches fit the blanks on the console in the rear.

Do you know if the moonroof will still operate with the rack in place?

Well, apparently Hell’s Revenge is pretty tame too from what I understand…

Hej! ... The only Swedish word I know thanks to visiting my local Ikea frequently. Congrats on the new LC!!

I wonder why Toyota would route the swaybar disconnect wire below the frame like that? In my experience, you never want any electrical wires under the frame else they may get cut when you slide over something hard.

Hard to see the wheel design in the photo. Do you have any other picts?

I’m reviving this thread. Has anyone in the US had any success putting heated seats in the rear? Also, does anyone else think it’s weird that the $70k+ LC with Premium doesn’t have them?

The Scout looks awesome. Specs are incredible. The thing that really sold me was that’s it’s going to be “80% driveway serviceable” The fact that they’re paying attention to allowing people to work on their own cars without a dealership involved is just awesome. Especially considering it’s an EV.

Agreed. This isn’t a $30k RAV4, it’s a 57k Land Rover. This is one area where Toyota should be ashamed. How much do you think the parts cost is for a 12” touchscreen in Japan? $25?

I’d love to see pictures of that. Do you loose any of the native functionality?

I'm wondering if anyone has tried to modify a 1958 by removing the "8-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen" and replacing it with a "12.3-in. Toyota Audio Multimedia touchscreen"? Theoretically, it's the same dashboard and the same CAN bus, so I wonder how feasible a swap would be?

That’s how we refer to a Land Cruiser that’s not a 1958 and not a First Edition. Whereas “LC” could mean any Land Cruiser, “LC LC” is the Land Cruiser Land Cruiser edition, because for some reason Toyota decided not to name the trim level.

There’s a lot of thought that goes into the battery chemistry and capacity. There is the business factors, the engineering (heat, discharge rate, charge rate, weight of vehicle, size of motor), the durability (charge cycles, impact resistance), the safety etc… The LC is design is based on all...

Yep, you’ve got the best case scenario for driving speed to maximize fuel efficiency. The only way you could do better than that is if there were no hills and you never had to stop, obviously you can’t do anything about that. I’d bet that loosing the roof rack would not have any noticeable...

The 4xe battery pack is 17kwh. It provides about 20 miles of all electric driving when new. It’s about 500 lbs and takes up a massive space under the rear seat. If they wanted a larger battery for more range, they’d have to get rid of the gas tank and engine for the space and weight and then...

What you’re describing is the Jeep 4xe. It’s essentially the same drivetrain setup as the LC with a rechargeable, larger battery pack.

That’s just an estimate based on data I found on this forum. If you’re getting 24+ I’d bet most of your driving is 30-55 mph and therefore the roof rack has less of an effect on your aerodynamics.

No issues with the 87 gas? I know the octane conversation is an entirely different thread, but I wonder how your personal experience has been with it?

You make a solid point about ethanol in the fuel. Most northern states add 10%. Using that information, here's the revised formula... Advertised MPG = 23 MPG Combined 10% Ethanol fuel = -2 MPG = 21 MPG Combined FE Style roof rack = -4 MPG = 17 MPG Combined BFG All Terrain Tires = -2 MPG = 15...

Based on the comments in this forum, this seems to be the math... FE Style roof rack = -4 MPG BFG All Terrain Tires = -2 MPG Based on that math, if you can get 21 MPG on a LC LC, you add the FE roof rack that drops to 17 MPG. Add BFG KO2 AT Tires and it drops again to 15 MPG. Anybody with a FE...

That sucks man. Sorry. I wonder how this even happens? I thought new cars couldn't be hot-wired like old ones.

This is 🔥. You should enter this in the LC of the month contest.

I'm looking at a travel trailer that's 4500lbs dry. Anyone tow a trailer that heavy with their LC?

I would love to know if this approach works in the LC. My ideal vehicle would be a 1958 with power cloth seats and the larger radio.

Seems like a 12” upgrade would be a good upcharge for a 1958. Imagine if your dealer could charge you an extra $1500 for the upgraded screen. I would think at that price they’d surely make some money.

This is interesting. I thought the yield of premium octane fuel per barrel of crude is lower than that of regular. If this law goes through, wouldn’t it have the effect of using more crude oil and therefore driving up prices?

I will say that the tire size and fender flare width make sense as to why they would improve gas mileage. A smaller section width on the tire and smaller diameter means smaller contact patch on the road, less friction. The flares would cause more wind resistance (prob nominal tho)

I thought that 87 octane and 91 octane fuel both have the same potential energy (ability to do work such as move a vehicle). One just has additional refinement that “guarantees” the combustion will act in a more predictable way.
