Nope. It won’t happen.I think the removable panel will be seen on the next gen 4runner for sure. Won't see it on the LC. It will take it back to its rootsand will compete with the wrangler and bronco better.

Appears to be each side of the fender. Intercoolers are mounted in a somewhat vulnerable position. Same location as the 300.Where is it pulling intake air from?
Let’s make this a betting man’s game.Nope. It won’t happen.
When was the last time that Toyota sold a vehicle with removable roof panels?Let’s make this a betting man’s game.
That's one packed engine bay with hardly enough room for dirt, let alone accessories like compressors, batteries, etc..

Main battery is in the rear so everything would be easier in the rear anyway. Including rear winch . There might be another compartment on the passenger side to install second battery.That's one packed engine bay with hardly enough room for dirt, let alone accessories like compressors, batteries, etc..

Part of the reason I have no interest in the TTV6…I have owned an Audi 2.7T (twin turbo v6). Fantastic engine from a performance perspective…nightmare to work on. Tons of hoses/lines for oil/coolant/intake plumbing/vacuum lines. The joke is “pull the engine” for any repair. At least with the I-4 turbo (LC250) the turbo is more accessible since the physical block takes less width being inline instead of a V; and not being a V, the turbo isn’t wedged between the block and subframe. Plus only half the intake plumbing.I was thinking the same thing. That engine bay is more cramped than a wrangler with a 392.
Sorry for the future Toyota techs who have to work on those turbos.
