If anyone is local to the area, A GX550 is on static display at the Daytona Autograph hotel for the Rolex 24 race. Snapped a pic yesterday, will upload it soon.
They have held up pretty well, no wear or stitches popping out. Thinking of replacing them with a full set of escape gear covers though. My only complaint with the Iggee covers is they get really hot in the sun just like leather, so swamp ass is a big problem.
I would suggest finding an LX tailgate that is the same color as your Land Cruiser. The LX reverse light piece is screwed on from the inside, and would require some cutting. Not sure about the wiring harness though
Considering a used LC 250 in a few years when I graduate college to replace the 100. Also on the consideration list are a 2024 SR Taco in manual form, Nissan Frontier, and the rumored 2025 Mini Land Cruiser.

The INEOS runs a detuned B58 making 282 hp (40 less than any BMW variant) and a lot more torque. They also utilize solid front and rear axles, available with locking diffs built by Magna.
I DIY raptorlined my truck, pictures can be found in my build thread on my profile (I'd post them here but they're saved on my other laptop). Did it two years ago, been in the FL sun for 8 months straight outside and no fade or anything. Some of the tight spots (Near the rubber window trimming)...
I think the choice of the B58/ZF8 combo is a good decision on their part. IIRC Toyota helped to co-develop the B58 for the supra, so it should be plenty stout. Parts availability and servicing are big unknowns, but I believe they parter with BMW for servicing, and make all shop manuals free to...
