Hi All,

I picked this up a couple of weeks ago and am pretty happy. I've always loved the LC but never thought I'd be able to fit one in my garage. The 250 makes it, and I can even open the back door.

Joined the forum to learn from enthusiasts (I'm not a "car guy" person) about what cool additions, adjustments, and refinements are out there. Can't wait to see the long-term reviews on things like rooftop tents, full body rails, various tire changes, and internal storage changes (I would LOVE to see the center rear seat get something, or under the center island, below the shifter).

Thanks for being so informative already!

Hi Everyone, Bryan here in Coastal Virginia. First time LC owner, but fell in love with them in the mid 90's...this is my mid life crisis car :) Bought first edition in blue. It is my daily driver for now and we'll see how comfortable I can get fording pools with a hybrid vehicle. I'm a bit nervous and would have preferred they offer this in a V6 ICE only option, but I love the redesign and did not want to wait. Glad to be here and thanks for this resource!

Former LR3/LR4, Discovery owner making the switch to something that doesn't depreciate 80% in 5 years. Bought the FE back in June, and haven't looked back.

Happy to be on here. Will make some mods over time, but pretty happy with stock at the moment (sans the gas mileage and tank capacity). I tend to use my 4WD for work applications more than play. This will not be a pavement princess.

My love of these vehicles goes way back. Really love they brought out a 4 cylinder, but wish it was diesel.

Looks sharp!

I've got the same vehicle color just in the LC trim vs FE. I was a little worried about the engine power but after doing an 1,800 mile road trip I am confident that it has all the power I could want! Since it's been used in other Toyotas without problems so far I am not worried about quality. Like many others I do wish the gas tank was a little bigger, and I think the hybrid motor control could use some tweaking. None of that is distracting from my daily enjoyment of it!

Looks nice - I have the same trim and colors but not the lift kit. I just ordered some Terra Grappler G3s as I needed the on-road performance (for now). I do like the life and the tires; when I get to tire replacement time I may follow your path, though I will stick with 265's or 275's.
 
Still in sticker shock, my FJ60 had 120,000 on it and my LX470 70,000 when purchased. But couldn't wait for the three year leases to be up on this one. Got some insight on roof racks from this forum by lurking (went with the Victory) but need to delve deeper to see if I can find out how to keep the app from telling me to look in the back seat.
