NYC 1958

[Fangdang25o]

Hi folks,

Meteor shower LC25O “1958”
Hitting 2000 miles soon so thought I should post up here. Everyone’s post have been super helpful in helping me decide on what to do!

Things done:
External:
XPEL stealth ppf (very happy with how it came out)
XPEL ceramic tints 20% matched to rear windshield
Exoshield film on windshield (given all the cracked windshields and lack of replacements at this time)
Ceramic coating

Black Rhino wheels AWOL 17”
BFG KO3 275/70/17
(Noticed a hit to MPG from 21 —> 18)
Got 5 wheels so switched out spare
Mixed big city and highway driving with traffic on highway and city streets

Internal:
Storage near the center console

1. Gap filler (Owntow Car Gap Filler, Universal... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9CZRRFG?tag=landcruiserforum-20)
2. Center console organizer
3. Haven’t found a good rubber mat for where the LC/FE have the wireless charger specifically for the 1958.. so open to suggestions there

Things I will be getting:
Prinsu pro roof rack
Dissent rock rails
JDM window visors
JDM Land Cruiser mud flaps (non-FE)
JDM Jaos skid plate

Nice!

Are you happy with these gap fillers? Do they stay in place well?

Welcome! And that color looks amazing in stealth.

Nice rig my friend! I also have the 1958 in meteor, and I have yet to find a rubber mat for the charging space, I just used one for the wireless charger and cut it.

Welcome! Very nice rig! - out of pure curiosity, what offset did you go with on your BR’s? Thx!

This irks me so much haha. Cause as you drive everything just slips in and slides in there. Hopefully someone thinks of us and makes one that fits off the bat

+25. A little poke but not too much where I need more aggressive fenders. I kinda like how the 1958 is a bit slimmer than the FE/LC editions.

Not really. But I put things in and out of them every day.

At first they really stayed but after 5 months of use it slips down

Updates in Feb:

KC hilites
CATuned bull bar
Toyota premium horn
JAOS skid plate
Front runner roof rack with handles with lights
Due to empty spots in the panel to the left of the steering wheel. Was able to put the buttons for the roof rack lights and KC hilites in OEM spots.

How do you like the CATuned bull bar? Is the install plug-n-play? Looks great!

Thanks! Yeah pretty plug n play. Takes place of the front factory tow hook spots.

Simple install

I read with the standard skid plate, the tow hooks may still be used. It’s hard to tell how tight the bar will be to a front license plate. There are very few pictures from the top or side of the bull bar when installed in front of a license plate. Do you think there is plenty of room? The license plate and OEM bracket protrude about 1/2 inch from the surface of the bumper.

Are you happy with the fit and finish? Is it a two person install or can one person hold the bar while hand tightening the mounting bolts?
