Westcott actually adds a thicker bottom perch, so pushes the spring upwards. No spacer type lift are ideal, but they do get the job done cheaply. This is a better option that the full top hat kit.
On a 4Runner with a hood scoop, you get a blinding relfection at certain angles that goes directly in the drivers eyes. Ive heard others do it with roof mounted lights to cut down on glare as well.
Maybe related to the QC hold, but it looks like a lot of the deliveries in Ab have been 1958s. Red Deer got a white one, Wetaskawin got black, and Stampede in Calgary also got a black.
FWIW, I was told Stampede got 2 in already, with another 2 scheduled shortly. Unfortunately no timeline given...
Canadian Dealers playing games..

Here is a link to the fitment of another 17" wheel.. offset doesn't work but clearance looks ok with the limited angle
https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/2024-land-cruiser-smallest-wheel.217/post-10067
Is that clearance from the caliper to the wheel face or wheel barrel?
I'd assume face... Which isn't nearly as big of a deal as it would be if it were barrel.
FWIW, going to an 18" wheel isn't going to change the face clearance... Only the barrel.
It's the wheel spoke design that will...
Got an email from my salesm contact, nothing in the pipeline as far as they have heard, and mentioned they are still trying to get all the Tacoma orders sorted out. They aren't the manager, so not sure if they have a great line of communication or not. I was hoping for some sort of update...
Thats my hesitation as well, dont mind them and the price is right, but with them being considered the 'perfect offset' the popularity is certainly rising. There should be more releases with better offsets shortly...
Not much out there yet, best bet is to look at the wheel post and look at various offsets and the look you are going for.
According to Westcott, the 'sweet spot' is around +35.. but not a ton of wheels in that offset. Id say 40-20 is reasonable.. bt the 20 does poke out.
Problem with the SCS Gen5's is the available offsets... -10mm and -38mm are not a fit for the LC, unless you want the wheels poking out the fenders a few inches. (like 3-4+!)
I assume most manufacturers will be producing updated models to fit the new LC/4Runner/Tacoma. Where 0et was common and...
If you look up the spring/coil install without a compressor on youtube, its actually very easy to do on your driveway with fairly basic tools. I did the Westcott collar on my 4Runner like this without issue.
Something like this.
100% need an alignment though!
Living in an area with snow and heavily sanded roads, I won't ever have a vehicle without ppf.. ceramic isn't thick enough to compete if you really need it.
Any chance the cold box is simply a drop in unit and can simply be removed to leave a regular center console? Id be shocked if Toyota made different versions of the console..
Worth adding, I live in an area that sees a lot of snow and sanding the roads, so full frontal coverage is a must to keep any vehicle looking decent. I think I paid $1,200 for quarter panels and forward. (QPs, hood, bumper, headlights, mirrors and strip above windshield. 10 yr warranty and...
