Congrats Dave, First Edition and first owner!
Looks great in the blue and love those FE wheels too, you must be so pleased.
Just need to change those AT23’s for something more becoming of the car and its off-road provenance!!
We all look forward to hearing how you get on! Living vicariously………..

Hi Strad and all in the UK yes i,m on the caseI,m putting the tyres on my wifes Wrangler and hoping the K03 S come over here soon or the Falken wild peak AT 4W both are in the US also remove the front air dams, although I do like silver wheels the wheels are nice, theres also a couple of things everyone will want to do the inner sill protection very easy to scuff, plus theres no light in the boot i,ve ordered a Rhino Rack Pioneer 6 from Sticker Fab in the US Rhino Rack agents in Europe wont ship to the UK ?? but i,m still working on that as the Rack from the US is on hold at the moment The Pan roof is great all though its a shame to put a rack over it still thinking on that one Dont let the Dealership force you into stuff ie side steps both FE and Invinceble come with them, insurances, ceramic coating etc etc etc I have a story on them tactics but will divulge later very naughty what a Dealer I know was doing would not take the order from customers unless they agreed to about £3,000 in extra stuff !!! Also ordered a tow bar kit from Toyota no after market bars out there yet,£621 inc electrics to fit myself i,m told the electrics are plug and play with a few little querks ie open bonnet open doors etc ?? take off earth from battery etc theres a 1000 wat standard 3 pin plug in the boot more to come all the miss info and worry is gone now you,ll all love your cars so you can sleep now

Did they fit the correct mud flaps I have seen that there is a trail dust UK FE just popped up on you tube at a dealer - short walk round - it’s on some basic flaps and the FE ones are in a box

Did you get rubber mats ?

I thought it had lights in the tailgate
 
Looking on line seems there will be BFG KO3s in 18 265 65 and 18 265 70

Which do you guy think is the better option - I assume the deeper tread means the 70 will be a wider rolling diameter thank the TYRES fitted and mess a few things up

Plenty of speakers no lights
The FE mud flaps should be in a box in the Boot
I am picking up front only rubber mats tomorrow the others haven’t come in yet

Looks great Dave

So maybe we will need to get the 2025 upgrade pack of lights or I’ll add an aftermarket mobile light - I need to fabricate a platform for the dog box can maybe add lights into that

On the LO3’s looks like the 265/65R 18’s are coming but the UK suppliers seem to still be selling KO2’s

Will probably keep the LC on the stick until the KO3’s are available next year
 
On the tail gate lights the US guys report they have lights in tailgate ?

Hi I’m due to pick up our sand colour FE NEXT WEEK but having problems with insurance as registration not on a database, how did you get on with insurance?
 
Welcome to the forum

If you read back in this string you will find

Toyota insurance will issue quotes now - but depending on area you may need an extra Immobiliser

Toyota released a notice via dealers on Friday admitting that the LC is not rated for instance and they say they are working with Thatchem and it will be by 21 October at which point other insurers should be willing to quote

I have a Toyota quote but will check if my current insurer Admiral or another can quote competitively before I decide what to do

It’s still baffling me that you guys are having such headache with this insurance stuff - sorry to hear it

I’m paid up and locked in with Toyota Insurance UK - I spoke to them a few weeks ago, and as mentioned, told them to reach out to the underwriter direct with the car model/details

My insurance kicks in Monday (day of collection) and it’s been very easy from start to finish I must say

I’ve found them to be incredibly helpful at the other end of the line

Below is the make and model on my policy letter, so maybe you can give them the exact same to locate a quote?

All I did was call: 0333 103 9950 and hit option 1

I live in rural Northamptonshire, and due to pick up on Tuesday but having issues finding the vehicle details with the car registration I’ve been allocated, who did u get insurance with and approx how much or what insurance group, thanks in advance
 
Read back a few pages - the number of Toyota Insurance is set out as are the answers to your questions

If you live out in a rural area you may be able to get a quote from them without need for extra immobiliser

As the bulletin pasted above explains there is no rating and won’t be until 21 Oct so you will struggle to get any insurer other than Toyota to quote until the rating is in place

I know of Toyota quoting between £1200 and 1550 - I am delaying collection a few days to try for a better insurance option

If you must collect Tuesday you will probably be stuck with Toyota Insurance

Thanks for your reply, our insurance is with NFU - and they are checking with head office & Toyota re catagory etc. will delay collection for now.
 
I suspect you will be fine with NFU now we have managed (several on here have been hammering away for a few weeks) to get Toyota to engage with the issue of securing an insurance rating

It’s very frustrating they didn’t sort it earlier but it is now being sorted

I am looking at the week of 21 October for collection so I can get insurance in place ideally at lower cost

Frustrating as I have sold my existing vehicle and it goes to the new owner that week so if I have a further delay I will become a pedestrian again

Do please come back and update us on your progress and of course let us know what you think of the FE - I am getting the same one

I did get a reasonable quote from Toyota insurance for the FE of what seemed like a competitive £472, but they then said that they couldn’t insure me as my ncd was for a commercial vehicle. They also only verbally gave me this without any info such as excess or other requirements. I am also therefore awaiting 21st Oct to get quotes from other companies. Their price will very much depend on your personal circumstances.
