Looks like you're on the right track, looks sharp!

Looks sick and I may end up copying this....lol. How is driveability and mpg with the 285/70r18s?

Pretty much drives normally. I was turning left on a 4 lane and floored it coming out of the turn. I could hear the tires scuffing

I'm still averaging around 20-21mpg. Down from 25-26mpg with the OEM 245/70R18s (I use premium)

Damn.....that's good to hear. I'm getting 19mpg but I only have 450 miles on it. I'm more concerned about ruining performance/ride quality than I am about mpg.

You will need something the the Wescott leveling kit and wheels with +35mm offset to fit 34s w/out rubbing on full flex.

@Markarian421 posted a very through and impressive Google spreadsheet of tire fitment . I'm might downsize to 275/70R18. It's only a half inch in diameter smaller and will fit in the spare tire location.

Tire (and a few wheel) options spreadsheet

I see people hunting for this spreadsheet, maybe it should have a post of its own. (But also please see/search the Tire Upgrade thread!) I started compiling info on tire options while waiting for a Land Cruiser, shared the spreadsheet, and people say it's helpful. So here you go. This...

Nice ride and welcome! I recently got ice cap 1958 as well.
I think I am gonna see how budget I can make it while enjoying some off-roading.

Same. I went crazy with my Tacoma. I think Toyota owes me some bonus points because I parked it next to Chevy's ZR2 Colorado at the 2021 Overland Expo East.

How was the install on the seat covers, pretty straight forward? I like the look and the touch of brown looks nice!

it's really easy once you realize you can raise the vertical position of the seat so you can get your hands underneath it

The only real issue that I had was the cover on the lower back side covering the seat split and getting parts of the seat covers through the split.
