Pro's and Con's of this to buy build. Opinions please.

Hi All. First real post here. I am going to buy a 2025 LC. I always liked the round lights on the 1958 better, but I was not going to spend $60k and not get leather. Anyway, I was going to get a LC base (black or white) and do a lift on it and add bigger aggressive tires. Really wanted java interior and a moonroof.

So I found the custom build in the link. I love the look but would rather have 18" 35" tires (or maybe even 20") on it for more rubber. I would obviously like to have java and moonroof, but this has the body I like better and honestly looks pretty awesome as is. If I bought a base, I would have $65 in it plus lift, new tires, etc. I have asked the dealer about switching the wheels/tires and possibility of adding roof rails or a rack. The price for what this has looks really good, but I am new to all this and thought I would ask some opinions - especially cons. Please let me know your opinions-
UPDATE_ talked to dealer and misunderstood. This build is $76k and out of my budget but still looks awesome.

Would never do that much outward offset. Off-roading rock damage to the paint would be a killer.

You could always buy the 1958 and add Katzkin leather to it. I've seen the Katzkin installed in a 1958 and it looks better than the OEM leather (and feels better).

No dealer is going to give you a great deal on a modified LC. I'd get an LC equipped how you like, then build up and modify it the way you want it. This forum is full of modified LCs with lots of great advice based on actual experience with the modifications. Take your time and have fun with creating your perfect LC

Glancing at the window sticker, seems like there is $2,500+ of questionable add-ons. If you go with that vehicle you should try to get those discounted off the out the door (OTD) price.
