Looking good - always loved the Land Cruisers. Seems like a heck of a deal for one that clean. Might be worth a case of fluid film to keep it that way.

Got me some black mirrors
Got a set of new wheels. I think I had analysis by paralysis.
-Initially I wanted the OEM Tundra steelies only. Then realizing they are heavier, I didn't want to add more weight.
-Then I really wanted the EVO Corsa wheels. However, $2500 for wheels which I wouldn't bat an eye years ago, are no go in the world of 529 and 401k. I found a used set, but it was pretty far away, so that wasn't going to work.
I looked at many used wheels, but to keep the weight of the wheel in check, right offset (didn't want bro dozer look), and making sure the wheels have right max load to handle the LC, was a tall order.
Also liked the Nomad and 1552 wheels, but the sizes didn't work for me.
Anyways, ended up with these 318s, and are happy with how they turned out.
Wheels installed. Next weekend will do a OEM front spacer, that LC around the world comes with that USDM ones doesn't come with.
Tire is 45lbs
Wheels 30lbs
------------
Total 75 lbs.
No photos, but today did:
Only thing coulndt figure out is how to open all door locks by touching driver door only.

Drove about 150 miles on the Bilsteins. No more nose dive on braking. Excellent handling dynamics. Lot firmer turn in not wallowy.
Feels like went from Lexus LS to Lexus IS.
Really happy with it.
