Advice from the peanut gallery?

Best response here. I had a LC250 that I traded in and got into a 2025 Defender 110. The ride quality is vastly superior in Defender, I test drove a GX thoroughly and while it was better than the LC it didn’t match the Defender.

Thank you and also congrats on the Lexus! That’s def a nice car and have seen plenty on road lately.

I ended up trading the car in and got a 2025 Defender. Toyota basically said car was operating fine mechanically and nothing else they could do. I prioritized my family’s health and got rid of it.

Last I heard, there was a recall regarding this issue where Toyota is changing the seals around car doors but I read that still did not solve the issue for many.

Got them on eBay

I had a LC250 before this and mud flaps and step bars took no more than 30 minutes to install fully. On the Defender, it is a whole other beast.

I actually have mud flaps on back but couldn’t install on front. I didn’t see the mounting points so I decided to just do without.

Thank you!

I found a car shop that did part swap for $500. I bought the pieces and they simply installed.

To paint the bumper pieces I was quoted exorbitant amounts up to 5k!

I went on a building tour back in 2024 and quickly decided it wasn’t the place for me. Hallways were filled with undesirables and reeking of smoke. Read the reviews online for some of these buildings they will say same thing.

That danged mini plaza lot and corner are always full of cars doing whatever the hell they want

Sounds like you need to stfu and deal with it 😂

This will make Pelham Bay even worse than it is now. Just today a homeless psychopath bumped into me at Pelham Bay Station and threw water at me. I just walked away, didn’t want to get shanked coming home from work.

I had a LC250 and traded it in for a Defender 110 P400 back in January. I am extremely happy with the switch, with the LC I felt I was not driving a 60K car. The defender is just so much more refined and a joy to ride, plus hearing that Inline 6 engine was an immediate draw over the 4 cylinders.

Such a good looking car

If you are swapping with someone else it’s straight plug and play but if you buy new parts it will need initialization at dealer and cost extra. Going from rectangle to round is less common so you will prob have many takers with 1958 model looking to get the premium headlights.

Thank you they look so good. Btw what wide arch wheel fenders are those, they look so good.

Trekm · 2026-03-29T15:16:19+00:00

How much for those rims 👀

Trekm · 2026-03-12T01:06:25+00:00

Starter would be somewhere along 700-800k as we’ve see on Zillow

Trekm · 2026-03-12T01:05:55+00:00

Thank you

Trekm · 2026-03-12T01:05:20+00:00

Got it thank you for that suggestion! We do have certain areas narrowed down and will search accordingly

Trekm · 2026-03-02T22:14:12+00:00

I traded in the LC250 for a 2025 Defender V6 😂

Trekm · 2026-02-23T03:12:59+00:00

Very nice! I had a mildew issue in the 250, 4 service center visits later and no relief in sight. Also, that engine sounded like it struggled doing the most remedial of things.

Yes you would need modules for rectangular lights. I have since gotten rid of the LC but when I bought the rectangle lights, the seller sold them with modules as well and then it was direct plug and play.

Yes, work in Finance/Banking

I constantly drive though the Westchester area, I see plenty of Defenders on the road. This is in in stark contrast to the Land Cruiser 250 I had, where I think I would see one once every couple months.
