LC250
In Australia, their version has a precut slot in the right wing over the wheel arch.

Manufacturer Part Number - 0842560810

I sent emails to several dealerships (down under :) - either no replay, or they don't ship outside the continent.
I offered beer (X24), I offered to adopt a Kuala Bear with STDs - no luck.

If anyone is coming to the UAE (vacation, work...) In addition to the cost of the part and transporting it, I will take it out to a fancy dinner in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. If you are a diver - 2 free dives on the East Cost :)

Have you looked into using Aramex shop and ship? Easier than catching a Koala-borne STD even if not cheaper 😂
Do you know if the air filter placement is identical on the Australian Prado given the difference in engine?
I was considering doing the same thing as you and getting the AU snorkel, but hesitant to give Al Futtaim the excuse to void the warranty this early into ownership!

I had a problem with the way the car looked from the back. I got and exhaust from NYTOP made from titanium, the sound is amazing and removed the spare tyre. Also installed the gas struts for the bonnet. Light door sils and rubber floor mats. Red recovery hooks. If you are interested... let me know

Nice. Let me know if you're interested in skid plates. Can DM you details. Got a local garage to design me custom 8mm aluminum engine + transmission skids, with steel reinforcement for the vulnerable radiator bracket. Getting them installed next week. Been on edge about busting up the radiator every time I've been on the dunes. She's held up well so far but stock "skid" has been trashed :) Can't believe they put that soda can on the top trim for us.

What did you do with the spare - just keep it off? And what brand rubber mats did you go with?

I had been looking at that exhaust - I saw the video they have on their website, but glad to hear that it sounds good on the LC too!

The mats are original/ OEM Toyota from the states, eBay.
Here is the link: Security Measure

I already bought this one also from NYTOP 2024-Current Toyota Land Cruiser Skid Plate Assembly — NYTOP | Not Your Typical Original Parts

These are the door sills: NEW OEM 2024 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER HV ILLUMINATED STAINLESS STEEL DOOR SILLS 4PC | eBay

There's a part number for a front skid plates, OEM Toyota, not 100% sure it fits the Prado PT228-60242

It is an important weight save, it looks better and sounds better. The problem is that I had to install sound Dampening material inside and outside the back of the car, you will definitely know the muffler is no longer there 😀

Managed to find a company will start the process of buying and shipping with them. The quotation they gave is 250$ USD for shipping and handling. Since it is a big pack and 4kg it looks ok.

Oh really? Any chance you have some videos? I've seen a few on YouTube, but hard to tell just how much louder it is!

Will film and post a response tomorrow. The problem is not outside, the issue is inside. Maybe the US hybrid version will not be such an issue as the batteries will muffle the sound. Our non hybrid options are acting like an amplifier :))))

Going to take a chance, after all it is a OEM Toyota part.

are the lc250 in uae hybrid like in usa? if it is will that snorkle work, im also interested
 
The UAE versions are 2.4 Turbo, non hybrid. The engine is the same one. I just ordered one snorkel from Australia and I should get by the end of the month. The air filter feeds into the right wing over the wheel arch. I will have to take those parts off the vehicle and cut the body panel. The Australian version is the only one that I saw for now that comes with a precut panel covered by black plastic cap (sold by Chinese suppliers as a glue on ornament).

How did you order it in Australia? I contacted them already and they won't ship to USA. I like to have one but not sure if it will work on hybrid engine.
 
I guarantee that it is going to be (90%) a similar installation to any of the last generation Prado (ASIA & MENA)

Your air filter is in the same position (all petrol/gas models), hybrid and non-hybrid.

I will film the installation once I get the part from Australia.
