    Leather seat upgrade of 1958 after purchase

    I payed 2k all in. I think it was 1400 for the kit; 600 to install. Took them all day to install. Apparently, it’s not an easy process (old fabric is completely removed). This was just the basic Alia kit. You can get more specialized with inserts, different colors, etc. This is the least...

    Tire Pressure?

    Yes if you reset, it will callibrate at that current pressure and low pressure yellow light will only come on when it drops below that pressure

    Tire pressure light

    I’m an idiot. I kept looking for the TPWS under the entertainment screen menu for “vehicle customization” and it wasn’t there. But it It IS on the menu on the other screen (with gauges) buried in vehicle settings. Thank you much! Damn yellow light on my dash was driving me crazy

    Tire pressure light

    33. Do you think that could be it? I was wondering if there was an actual TP monitor on the spare

    Tire pressure light

    I cannot get the tire pressure light to turn off. All 4 tires have proper pressure. And I can’t reset it with an OBD. Has anyone else run into this?

    2024 landcruiser 1958 sold

    Agree. Love my 1958. Came with upgraded tires. I am getting Katskin leather seat covers added (2k). Other than that, I got tint and ceramic coat. Good to go. Have 2,000 miles on it at this point and loving it.

    Only getting 17mpg

    Are you determining that based upon the “miles to empty” number on your dash? Because that number is incorrect. There is a thread about how Toyota holds reserve gallons in the tank that don’t register on that figure and can throw off your mpg calculation

    Gas tank - distance inaccuracy

    Yeah, I get it. I will eventually do that. I was hoping somebody had the info so I didn’t need to go through the exercise.

    Gas tank - distance inaccuracy

    My understanding is that’s it’s not actually a reserve tank. It’s just that the reading on the dash says that there are 0 miles left when there’s still a remaining 2 gallons or so, which would equate to another 30 to 40 miles depending on your driving.

    Land Cruiser Fuel Tank Capacity

    thanks - in your travels, do you agree that there remain about 2 gallons in tank after “mileage remaining” reading on dash hits zero?

    Gas tank - distance inaccuracy

    Thanks - that’s good to know as that is another 30 - 40 miles. I guess I’ll just start running it down to zero before getting gas…

    Gas tank - distance inaccuracy

    When I fill up the 1958, it says 305 miles remaining until empty. But when I fill up when it’s almost “empty,” I never get close to 18.9 gallons. Is there a reserve amount of gas remaining that Toyota doesn’t disclose on the “ lies to empty” figure on the dash, and if so does anyone have...

    Land Cruiser Fuel Tank Capacity

    I have the same issue. It says 305 miles at fill up. If, in fact, Toyota is holding a significant reserve that is not calculated into the remaining mileage that is shown on the dash, it would be nice to know.

    300 mile road trip summary

    I had a similar experience with my new 1958. Drove five hours to the Mountains on Friday and five hours back on Sunday. I switched the driving setting to “economy” and it averaged a little over 21.8 miles a gallon on highway going 70 - 80 mph. My only complaint of the vehicle so far is that, as...

    New Almost Owner I hope!

    Yep probably so. But the power is pretty impressive for an LC. I had a 1997 with 6 cyl (sluggish) and a 2004 with 8 cyl. (better) but both were absolutely horrible on gas. I feel like 12 mpg was standard. Still great vehicles, and really liked them both for diff reasons. but maybe this newer one...

    New Almost Owner I hope!

    Love it already. Yes 1958 version. Had some reservations about 1958 “stripped down” version, but I was on waiting list since December and was more concerned with color than trim. After spending the afternoon traveling back home it, I have no regrets at all. It had upgraded tires which I liked...
