But on the other hand there's no wasted space on a cool box!

I'm pretty happy with the stock sound system in the LCLC No-premium. It also depends on what you usually listen to. The system as is is great for rock/indie-rock and podcasts. I do find that quieter folksy kind of stuff can lose a little bit of mids, making you turn it up just to hear the...

I got mine on ebay, you can find them on amazon as well. Search for "diecast land cruiser 250"

Bring on the mild La Niña!

I already took ours wheeling with the family! Just check out the flex on that LC! (Not pictured is our transit van, it was in the shop with a busted axle from off-roading too hard.)

1958 does not come with any mats. LC trim and above come with all-weather floor mats. Carpet mats are extra. Cargo mats are extra (carpet or all-weather).

220 mile road trip over the weekend with some mountain travel but on entirely 2-lane highway (55-70mph). Averaged 22mpg, and that was absolutely hypermiling the whole time. No bikes, no cargo box. LCLC with Crossbars + AT4W SL tires. 91 premium fuel. Nice fall temps 55-70F. Waxing gibbous...

The start button is in the same spot as my other & previous Toyotas, and the same general area where keys have traditionally been inserted when there is no start button. No reprogramming required here!

You’ll be fine. Just pay attention to the weather forecast and be ready to adjust plans. This is a very popular year round tourist destination. You will be in a 4WD with presumably pretty fresh all seasons. Send it. I’d be more concerned about the drive there and back, in particular coming...

I’m giving it a shot this winter with the Falken wildpeaks. Ask me how it worked out next spring! For reference I ski ~50 days up the #2 sketchiest road. (It’s not actually that sketchy 99% of the time, but it was funny to see it in an article)

You found the secret MPG hack that Big Oil doesn't want you to know about

There are some advantages to just doing seasonal swaps on one set of wheels: Easier storage, tires are much lighter without air/wheels! Don't need to buy second set of wheels Don't need to buy/set up second set of TPMS Winter tires can wear fast so you'll be installing a new set every ~4 years...

I guess you did say "around" town, and not "in" town. 😂 The secret to ultra low MPG is to have lots of short drives in town.

I have their fender adapters - which are just a roll of foam that goes over piece that pinches down on your tires. I have used it once when my wife had a flat on her commuter and it worked well for that use case (short distance, in town). I do think it might be a little awkward on a long trip...

1up heavy duty here, it's great. I upgraded from the Thule T2 Pro XTR when i needed to go beyond 2 bikes (kids). The Thule was fantastic as well, but I never did put it on the Cruiser before selling it. For the hitch pin, you need to order one extra wheel lock, that will function as the hitch...

Or we're just driving our kids to school. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Finally, someone will get to use those cupholders!

Nice! Did the dash speaker brackets fit the existing mounting holes? I recall @chancellor had to macgyver their’s a little bit. I’m not familiar with Hertz, aside from their rental cars 🤪. How would you describe the upgrade quality vs something like the infinitys? I’m still on the fence...

I never do any work in the garage without IPA.

Check if this dial is turned down all the way.

Kept things simple with the AT4W in stock size 265/70/r18 SL load.
