What dealer? I passed on this exact config, Meteor FE. Holding out for Heritage Blue.

I did. I'm going to have to break up with my other sales rep though
That one gets processed 5/1 at PDX
The color really is amazing. People keep saying pictures don't do it justice. It's stunning in person.
Toyota of Olympia. I have one reserved about an hour away and was on lists all over the place. Kind of funny that I got one at my home dealer.
@Teebo , congratulations!
I read that the beefy FE roof rack attaches to the roof rails. Does this mean that it fits over the regular side rails that come with the LC trim? So that the FE roof rack can be removed and the regular roof rails remain?
Also, does the FE rack have built-in crossbars that are close to the roof? So that the rack is box-like with four sides?

Mud flaps give it away, its a FE
I'm guessing they would need to remove my LC roof rails and add the roof rack at the port then. My spec is a middle grade LC but includes the roof rack (which i assume is the same as the FE one)
Envy …. Congratulations
So that’s nice !! Would you say it’s silver or like a silver grey ? I can’t tell what my eyes are picking up on
The color changes in the light. Mostly it's silver with a brownish tint but in some light it looks more silver. It really looks amazing in person.
While the FE rack doesn't require the sealant required on my 5th gen 4Runner's Pro rack, it does look like quite the job to switch back and forth. There are 6 feet that mount onto the roof itself (12 bolts), 4 plates that attach the rack to the feet (8 bolts), 4 individual bolts that mount the rack to the middle feet, and then another 12 bolts to attach the sides of the rack to the sides of the feet.
We haven't seen static or dynamic load capacities for the FE roof rack, but you might be better off doing a swap with someone that has a standard grade Land Cruiser and using aftermarket crossbars when you would need them.
I don't have 2 men available. Maybe my wife can be persuaded to stand on a ladder (if I can find a second one)!
FE is still processing at Port of Portland, hopefully to the dealer in the next few days!
Ordered 265/70r18 Toyo Open Country AT3s today through the dealer’s third party tire shop. $1200 for the 10plys mounted and balanced. They’re giving me $300 for the take offs so $900 all in for the tires.
Decided on 265s instead of 275s as the tire manager wasn’t sure about rubbing and/or fitment in the spare cut out. Said the Tacoma rubs the UCAs with 275s - wasn’t sure about the LC.

How about some of you new owners showing us some shots of what the LC looks like in the dark with its lights and interior shots at night?
I know it sounds sad - i’m living vicariously - its all I have right now….
