I will keep everyone apprised as it all comes together!
Thanks for sharing the links. Sounds like there are a good number of us here in ATX. Mine is an FE and I went with the same tire in 285/70/18 from Discount only because I have the Westcott lift coming any day now. Surprisingly, the tires don’t run even without the lift.

Keep us all posted. I’m loving the vehicle. I have a 2013 Trail model 4Runner, and 2016 SR5 Premium 4Runner and have owned 4 Cruisers now (2 FJ60s, an FJ80 and this one) and I’m really happy with this model.

Excited to see pics of your Dissent Rail/Steps. I have C4 for the 4Runners and love them, but want to see Dissent’s on one for sure.

UPDATE: she arrived, and I have been busy so not able to update everything done so far.

I drove straight from the dealer and to Discount Tire, where I got a $200 credit for the new Michelin LTX's (better than nothing!) and then had the 275/70/18r KO3s installed. Why KO3s? I just liked the look, and I figured that the new generation had a better ride and noise level than the outgoing KO2s...you can also see how PERFECT the Toyota-branded centercaps are with the Traildust. Amazing look IMO.

Next step was to add the Tacovinyl hitch cover in the back and get rid of the diaper. Again, the Heritage coloration just POPS against the Traildust to perfection IMO.

Next pics: Removal of the iForceMax emblem and the dealer vinyl. Now you see the shots of the TRD logo in black on the rear, along with TRD/Heritage emblems at the front quarter panels, just beyond the door. A DIVISIVE topic, for sure, BUT I DO love the way it looks, and I do love the OEM-style look that has people googling TRD and Land Cruiser!

I presume the height of the car increased, could you let me know from ground till the upper end of roof rails what's the height? Worried about the vehicle getting in to the garage since I don't have a driveway!
 
Hello fellow Trail Dust owner - yours looks great! I yanked off that IforceMax badge right after reading your post about that, too.

Question - your Toyota center caps, did you order those from Bam Wholesale, or somewhere else? I emailed them about purchasing, but still haven't heard a reply.

I picked up this license plate frame and I think it looks great with the legacy toyota colors and trail dust combination. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BC6C17DQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Did you put TRD suspension on your LC?

I bought an LC 1958 edition on Thursday in Austin. Do you still have the stock roof rack for sale and do you know if the 1958 is set up to add roof rack (pre-drilled, etc)? Thanks!

My bad. Simply heated gently with a heat gun, then used fishing line to remove. Then, applied Goo Gone over the residue, and finally washed it all off with warm water and soap. WA-LA!

Finally got around to posting the near-final pics of the ride! Please see the attached pics. The Westcott roof rack is now installed, along with a heritage-inspired bit of striping and vintage Toyota logo. I got the version that includes the molle panels at the rear windows. Also provided a close-in shot of the upgraded KO3 wheels with the swapped Toyota centercaps which, as you can see, goes perfectly with the Traildust color.
