My latest 2019 LC200 build, let me know your comments/suggestions/questions.
 
The silver/black contrast looks great!!
 
Nice! How did you black out all the chrome? Plastidip?
Grill, lower door moldings, tail gate, fog surrounds, all gets removed and taken to the body shop and painted. The chrome delete around the window trim is vinyl
 
Wow. I’m putting silver back on my list. This one sold already?
Thanks. I love silver too. Not sold, just finished it up today.
 
I can't stand how awful the wind fairing looks, such an afterthought of a design, definitely would opt for a light bar in that location if it were mine. As a 2016+ LX 570 owner, I am jealous of the flat roof rack options, I would love to be able to easily run a flat rack and have a slide-out table underneath. I love the Tundra Pro wheels, they look better on the LC than they do on the Tundra. I'd love a silver LC but momma hates the color with a passion, never the less, kudos on a job well done. Maybe a dark blue one next?
 
Looks great. How did you black out the grill and all the chrome trim?
Body Shop for all the chrome pieces. Window trim is vinyl
 
Looks great! I have a silver one and I am thinking of painting the chrome with black pearl, same color Toyota used for some emblems on the 80 and 100.
 
Looks great Eric. I can't justify trading in my 2015 LX and paying $50+k on top, but you're putting out some awesome awesome trucks.
 
You're taking out all the fun in Land Cruiser ownership. Picking the parts and putting them on yourself.

Appeals to a certain but small % of people that want turnkey out the dealership lot.

Fun for you and me - YES SIR. Some people are busy and don't have weeks/months to research & plan. They just want "what they want" and they "want it now". Keeps me in business. It's the same in every industry if you think about it. There is always a premium for having something done for you and a sense of value knowing it was done correctly and warranted. Just my opinion. Also, it's bumping the value of pre-owned built LC's in the classified section.

Ha yup, not trying to be a jerk of any sort don't get me wrong. Always been curious though for a specialty vehicle like a LC if a built one is on dealer lot longer or shorter. Vs if it was a brand new lifted tundra or Tacoma.
 
If I were in the market for another 200 I'd be giving Eric a call to line up something with suspension, sliders, wheels, and tires right from the dealer. It's hard enough to find a dealer who gets LCs let alone one to include modifications that get the truck to a level of capability where nothing else has to be done. Factoring in the cost for the parts, shipping, tax, and installation it's probably a 5-10k premium on top of MSRP plus doing the mods yourself for some very real savings in time and peace of mind. Consider some level of negotiation and it's not a bad deal, IMO.
