Starting a thread to keep track of "Kevin's" mods/installs and future plans!
2024 Land Cruiser | Land Cruiser Trim | Premium Package
The Land Cruiser replaced my 2014 Grand Cherokee Overland eco-diesel

Decided to wear down the stock tires before I jump into 18's or 20's (still undecided).

A lot of the purchases so far have been ideas from other members on the forum (thanks everyone!)

First off....figuring out where to put my sunglasses!
Shout out to Primo Workz... the armrest is a big improvement.

I used some 3M (or maybe Velcro, cant remember) to attach my sunglass sleeve hidden along the back. Keeps them clean and easily accessible. Sunglasses are Ombraz in case anyone likes the arm-less design.

Last image is of the other storage solution ideas I got from the forum

Dash camera installed.
I purchased the Dongar Pro for easy tapping and configuring when power is provided to camera.
I highly recommend!: Dongar PRO Parking Mode Adapter

The most difficult part was removing the overhead console to access the spare harness. I had to, very carefully, use a wrapped crowbar. my trim removal tools weren't cutting it

I then made it more difficult on myself by mounting the Dongar Pro inside the mirror trim so I could access the switch but conceal the wires. Definitely a easier way to do that.....I recommend just using the provided mounting bracket with 3M

I wanted to make use of the switch panel above the center console, so I integrated my favorite EDC, the Olight Baton flashlight.
The case has a built in battery so it continues to charge when vehicle is off. A little tacky, but I love it

I left the magnetic lid on to keep dust/dirt out, but I may remove it if I find it getting in the way.

I removed the internals, cut the case in half and sanded it down until it was all a clean fit. The case fits perfectly on the backside of the trim and keeps the fitment locked in once you screw the case back to the internal components.

Method Rims MR318 18x9 +18
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 285/70/18
Still can’t decide on a spare tire solution to match the height. Tire shop attempted a 275/70/18 in the spare location but said it didn’t fit and gave it back to me with the originals 265/70.

EDIT: Also added the window rain trim pieces in these photos

Beautiful LC! Wheels are also very nice! Do the Grapplers ride comfortably? What brand are the rain trims?

Thank you! The grapplers ride quality is a lot smoother than I thought they would be. Close enough to stock that it’s difficult to tell. They do add some sluggishness though, I feel like the motor works a tad bit more with the bigger tires (Might also be in my head, I’ve had them on for 3000+ miles now)

The visors are Toyota OEM, I purchased the set from here: https://www.oemgenuineparts.com/oem-parts/toyota-visor-set-window-816260840

Thanks for the link on those visors, im assuming they aren't tape ons right? Were they hard to install at all?

OEM window visors are "tape-on". Installation is very easy.
