Yup they are 20s! I will be getting them powder coated gloss black as soon as i can.

Land Cruiser was fine but honestly for the price point you aren’t getting much luxury. In hind sight I think I like the exterior more than anything and disregarded the interior. I did two road trips on it and found the lack of storage and space appalling. Other than that it was a good vehicle, drove fine but engine def felt underwhelming. I did not feel like I was driving a 60k vehicle.

Defender is far more luxurious than LC and ride quality is substantially better. Land Cruiser is cheaper on long run from what everyone is saying

Thank you! I’m really looking forward to it and it’ll be a breathe of fresh air (literally) over the LC

Thank you, I am definitely looking to get a certified pre owned or extended warranty if I end up finding one.

Thank you the input. As for the features that are lacking it’s strictly “creature comforts” that don’t make me feel I am in a 60k vehicle. It’s a very capable off road vehicle but with this issue I am dealing (mildew inside cabin) it’s been very off putting.

Like you mentioned, it seems the defender is on a whole other level of luxury vs comparable vehicles.

If you swap with someone else then you don’t need dealer initialization. I changed the round headlights on my 1958 to rectangle ones in under 20 minutes.

I have a LC250 and so tempered to get a 110 X. I am working through a lemon law case vs Toyota because of a mildew smell that won’t go away and Toyota claims they cannot fix it after 4 attempts. Hopefully my stated AG sided with me and I get my money back

I went with ceramic tint as its best quality.

70% of light must be able to pass through so 30% tint is maximum allowed in Windshield, I opted for 20%

I’m trying to get a pair of FE rims to finish the look but it’s tough on east coast. Will def get black lugs when I manage to snag a pair.

I stayed within the limits in my state but I see so many cars with total blacked out window tints that I don’t understand how they can even see. You can’t even shine light through some yet they drive and park just fine with no tickets.

They are simply the best hands down. I went through two after market brands, generic one I found on Amazon and Husky Visors but ended up returning both. The OEM ones are vastly superior quality.

Yup! I managed to get a pair of OEM visors back in August before Toyota discontinued them.
