That's exactly why dental floss is the best way to remove it.

By the way, in my above comment regarding my scrap-the-markup purchase, I neglected the mention the name and location of the dealership. It was Bell Road Toyota in Phoenix, AZ. Even though it took a lot of persuading on my part to get the markup removed, once the final price was set in stone...

The dealership from which I bought my 1958 had a "market adjustment" premium of $5k tagged onto the price and it didn't take much to get it removed once I told them to. In other words, yes, there are those who are willing to pay the added premium, simply because they don't know that you can...

Well, I generally don't disclose that information since it often evokes emotions of envy. 🤣 (Actually, my true weight is 200 pounds of solid muscle . . . . plus another 75 pounds of wholesome fat. 🥴)

I haven't had a chance to calculate the MPG as of yet, however, I will post up my numbers once it is determined.

And the more I think about it, the unit that came already hanging on my 1958's windshield was probably a dealer-installed option where they could squeeze another $375 out of the buyer. It doesn't make sense for such a "feature" to be factory-installed on a base model LC. (The one I ended up...

X2 on that for me. If I can't get this obnoxious thing out of my line of view and moved over to the other side of the rear view mirror, I will peel it off the window, snip the wires and place it in my garbage dumpster.

I'm looking forward to it. :)

Excellent review, solidbrix!! I agree with your comment regarding the hard plastic, especially on the interior of the doors. And, I definitely agree with your assessment of the "First Edition" model and its respectively ultra-high price.

After one whole week of ownership, I'm pleased with my purchase of a brand-new 1958 model LC. It drives nice and it's very comfortable ergonomically. It has a fantastic amount of interior headroom and shoulder room, especially for someone who is 6'4" tall and 275 pounds. The only thing that I...

And I forgot to mention that I'm 6'4" tall, so that dash cam is exactly at eye level.

The 1958 that I bought straight off the lot was exactly what I was looking for equipment and feature-wise . . . . . except the already-installed dash cam (which I can't tell if it was factory or dealer installed). I find it to be very obtrusive and it does, in fact, block the driver's view. I...

My brand-new 2 day-old "1958" came equipped with Yokohama Geolandar X-CV 245/70R18 tires. They are a very non-aggressive street tire that scream out to be replaced by a significantly larger All-Terrain piece of rubber, which I intend on addressing today. FYI - Over the past years, I've...

Hi there, I've been an LC enthusiast since I was 16 when my very first vehicle was a 1959 FJ25 Land Cruiser. And this past weekend I purchased a brand-new "1958" LC. I retired from law enforcement about 10 years ago (first from San Francisco PD and retired then again from the Department of...
