Appreciate the report. I took mine on the beach in South Padre Island, TX on stock tires with no issues. Just put MTS in Sand mode and had fun! I brought my recovery gear to be safe but didn't need it. Had lots of admirers on the beach including US border patrol.
I have a FE with leather seats (black). I love the seats and the leather. Much preferred over the softex. Best cooled seats on any vehicle I have owned or ridden in. Have not tried heat yet since its summer.
Method also offers some 17" wheels with a +35 offset that appear to work as well according to their website.

Some useful information here about Icon 18" wheels for 2024 Toyota LC and various tire sizes that may fit without rubbing/trimming.
Does anyone have any previous experience with Icon wheels?
Pros:
On road handling and comfort for a heavy body on frame vehicle is superb.
Off road capability is impressive in most situations.
Full skid plates and rock rails are appreciated off road.
Plenty of power and torque from the 2.4L Turbo Hybrid Engine.
Fit and finish is very good.
Cons...
Fits well but blocks 2 x USB-C and 12V ports. I ran cables and coil slack in the side pockets.

Yes, was able to use existing bolts and connectors. Did not need the wiring harness that came with the new horns. Easiest upgrade I've done so far. 8 plastic clips to remove plastic cover to access horns and 2 bolts, 1 per horn.
FYI, there is a third horn in the engine bay near the brake fluid reservoir. I assume it is for an alarm because it does not activate when the horn is pressed. I left it as is.
Cheers!
Does anyone know if there is room for a larger (GX 550) or aux tank system?
Biggest issue so far with new LC is range anxiety which is disappointing for a non-EV.
If MPG was 21+, I would be less concerned.
Anyone else disappointed with the factory "meep meep/roadrunner" horn?
I replaced mine with the OEM Toyota Premium Horns. The kit comes with two larger horns. One 500 Hz & one 400 Hz.
Very satisfied and easy to install.
Just Google or Ebay search Toyota Premium Horn.
Good Luck!
100% recommend ceramic tint for heat reduction and UV protection.
Know your state laws on window tint, Google is your friend. Ideally, the tint shop will not sell you something illegal or something that won't pass inspection.
Good luck!
