Welcome from a native PNW-er currently mired (unfortunately) in the other Washington :(

I was initially interested in the new Defender but then I remember that saying about Land Rovers: 9 out of 10 ever built are still on the road … the other one actually made it home.

Yes exact same mounts. I have a 1958, purchased some rails off this site and installed them myself … so easy a Caveman could do it. 🙂

Welcome & what a great (and apt) name! Shackleton would be proud … would like to think he would have driven a LC if they had been around 100 or so years ago.

Set of 4, no tires (not that you’d want them) 3,000 miles, no TPMS. I’m in DC, prefer not to ship.

Like new, have been on the truck for less than a month. I'm in DC, can ship on your dime.

Are you going to sell your stock wheels if you buy the TRD’s? I’m looking to buy a set of the OEM LC/FE 18” rims.

I love my 1958 and really like the cloth seats. I'm in Washington DC and they call it a swamp for several reasons including the weather, so it's nice to get in the car during the summer and not immediately stick to the seats. I also like the classic looks of the cloth seats. Only issues I had...

Found a set, so no longer looking.

I’ve posted earlier on this thread getting a pretty consistent 27 mpg on some trips from DC to CT via 95 & NJ Turnpike - stock tires @ 67 mph. Helping one of my kids move up to Philly for school and had a big drop to 22 mpg, don’t know why I took a pic, maybe because I watched the Beverly...

On two trips up and down the NJ Turnpike / 95 thru NYC from DC I averaged 27 & 27.5 mpg - spot on with the EPA highway estimates. 100% flat highway at 68/70 mph, no roof rack and stock tires. MPG is based on actual miles driven / gallons used - the info screen actually reported a higher (by 1)...

Don't know why there is so much looking down on the 1958, I personally love mine. I wanted both the round headlights and cloth seats and have no need for a bigger info screen. Granted the lack of roof rails and weird tire size are odd, but both shortcomings are easily fixed. The way I look at it...

Having climbed Rainier 4 times, curious what your mileage would be if you continued from Paradise up to Camp Muir @ 10,000’ but I bet the Park Rangers wouldn’t be amused if you gave it a go! 🙂 Would definitely be a great commercial for Toyota. Beautiful picture … makes me homesick!

27.6 mpg on the highway. Trip back to DC from the CT beach via the NJ Turnpike. Display said 28.8 mpg but I’m going with the trip miles of 276 / 10 gallon fill-up. Trip up was 27 mpg - slightly lower due to some stop & go on the GW Bridge. Here are my details: 1958 with stock tires, no roof...

27 mpg on the NJ Turnpike! Drove from my home in DC up to the beach in CT, display said 27.8, actual miles 263 divided by gallons (9.5) so right at 27 mpg. Pleasantly surprised as, my city mileage was meh (18 mpg). Details: 1958 with stock tires, no roof rails or racks, cruise control at 70...

Those are the delete kit parts - 3 on each side, 6 total, 2 bolts for each bracket.

Definitely a nice price. I might be interested, although right now I’m leaning towards the roof rails route. I’m in DC but am kicking around the idea of driving out there to drop off my daughter off at the Univ of Oregon next month and climbing the Middle Sister outside of Bend while I’m...

The 1958’s have multiple strips and have the same bolt holes as the other trims so roof rails or the OEM rack can be installed. The 1958’s come with delete kits installed - 3 on each side.

Fair amount of speculation that the Land Cruiser will drop in value once the 2025 4Runner hits dealerships later this year, as the vehicles overlap in many features, appeal to a similar buyer base and most trims of the 4Runner will be cheaper than the lowest cost 1958 LC. However, unlike the...

Makes sense. We also have a 2022 Crosstrek and the MPG is spot on with the EPA estimates, but much less when my pedal heavy kids drive it when they’re home from college 🫤 The EPA site states that they do tests on vehicles with 5,000 miles on them since fuel efficiency improves during the...

Just under 18 mpg mostly city driving. I’m expecting/ hoping that goes up some, it’s about 20% less than the EPA estimate.

I’d be very surprised if any of the trims are selling below MSRP because especially with the QC holdup there is little to no inventory not already sold. This includes the 1958 trim. Since it appears that many (not all) of the middle LC models are pushing an MSRP close to $70k since most appear...

I purchased the OEM all weather cargo mat at Toyota Parts Express for $ 105. Part No.: PT908-60245-20 Also bought front mats from them as well, they shipped within a couple of days.

Much of this forum is about the off-road capabilities of the Land Cruiser. I've had my 1958 for 2 weeks driving around the challenging streets of Washington DC and thought I'd share my initial impressions. I'll cut to the chase first ... this thing is surprisingly great in the City. Excellent...

Will do, once I buy roof rails I won't need my delete kits.

Saw an online review in which the narrator said his first move was to change the 8 “ screen display in settings from automatic to always dark. I tried it and it does make a pretty positive difference at least in my opinion. It makes the 1958 display look decent rather than being the 8”...
