Better version. I wanted to make sure it was saying 0.7m river crossing depth.

For anyone who has the upgraded front skid plate, is the mounting point reinforced in any way or would it have this same problem? A thicker plate isn’t going to help if the mounting point is still weak.

FWIW I’m trying to add any similar to stock 40+ offset 18” wheels I hear about to my spreadsheet — second tab/sheet. If you know of 40 to 60 offset 18” Land Cruiser accessible wheels I don’t have on there, let me know.

If anyone is looking to replace their 20" wheels, this fellow has a set of four Tacoma 18" 45 offset wheels in Mill Valley. He's currently asking about the same you could buy them from some dealers for though. I thought about trying to talk him down and storing these in the garage until I get...

From the Japanese catalog (with Google translation on the right):

I’m making this post mostly so people see there’s a regional forum now. If you have stuff to sell locally, or want to organize a get together, etc. Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for the right Land Cruiser to come along . . .

They just added regional groups (sometime in the last 24 hrs I think?). Take a look at the forums list. For instance: SoCal Region

There’s a solution for that! This forum software makes it so admins can merge threads. I suggested that a while back, when duplicate threads appear they should just be merged. Of course that is more work for admins. They’d probably need users to tag threads as duplicates.

It works on other forums? I’ve been on the FJ Cruiser forums since 2007, it works well there. We don’t have nearly the critical mass here yet that they have there, but we’ll get there. And again, people use the regional forums for regional issues, and the general forums for everything else...

The general forum would still exit. Regional forums are helpful for regional issues, like best dealers, best shops, get togethers, suggested trails, buy/sell, etc.

There was a thread about that before -- yes regional forums would be nice. You can message the admins, or we can try to summon them all by tagging them maybe? @Dragoon @El Chorizo @Nuke @supersix -- is it easy to set up regional forums? One possibility: Top level is the Toyota regions...

The verdict was probably the same plate but that PN is missing some pieces needed to mount it on the LC.

Can I remember them all? Before I had my own vehicles I learned to drive in 1970's Ford F150 4x4's, an old Impala, and an old Galaxy 500. My dad taught me to drive off-road before he'd trust me on road, I guess because we were going slower? 1973 Monte Carlo hand me down from my older brother...

Have any install pics? I don't have my LC yet, on both my FJs I've had driving lights I can use on rural highways and backroads. I'll probably end up wanting the same on the LC. I've been thinking Diode Dynamics since they have street legal driving light patterns.

I didn't know they had 3 ply sidewalls. I wonder if all of them have that or just the E load? I'll have to do some digging. Update: I can't find 3 ply sidewalls listed as a spec for this tire anywhere, with is normal for tires that are 2 ply or a different number of plies depending on...

I like Storm Radar on my phone but I haven’t checked how Car Play compatible it is. It did keep me from driving into a hail storm once. I’m interested to hear other folks’ suggestions.

I haven't had that problem on either FJ but maybe I just can't hear them over all the wind noise from the upright windshield and the roof rack and the generally not at all aerodynamic design! :ROFLMAO:

I think it would look great. The entire time I've owned my 2014 TTUE FJ I've thought about doing a wrap on the roof . . .

If you can only have one set of tires, I'd at least get something better in winter and all around conditions. Nokian Outpost nAT maybe?

I wonder if the gel paper spray is better? Less likely to spray yourself. Not as much range though.

That looks designed to fail, the amount of leverage it gives you vs. a little plastic. Even if it was made out of aluminum I'd expect it to fail eventually. Probably ok if you made it out of steel.

Yeah maybe it’s because I’ve already owned a couple hybrids but when someone says “I bought a hybrid that uses both an electric motor and an internal combustion engine and I’m mad it uses both of those” I just don’t know what to think.

Thanks. I’m wondering specifically about sidewall plies. Probably 2 but 3 would be nice.

I’ve had previous Duratrac tires on my two FJ’s and liked them. The RT adds a three ply sidewall and comes instandard load in the Land Cruiser’s stock size so they’re my default choice when I finally get a Land Cruiser. I wish they came in SL in the 275 size. The tread pattern looks a little...

Could we get a closeup of the ply ratings on the sidewall?

That's an interesting approach. Must be a smaller battery than the US spec one? Are the seats removable?

FD-Warranty is another I've seen mentioned. If you are in California these folks might not be able to sell you an extended warranty. If anyone knows a dealer in California who will match prices, let me know!

Yes, here we go, a few examples of 265/70R18's on 1958 rims: 1958 Has Arrived 2024+ Land Cruiser Ice Cap Photo Thread Tire Upgrade ? Etc.
