I've joined the club - 2011 LC (white/tan)

[ryanCA]

I will be selling it.

I'm waiting to find the right 2013-2015.

Gotcha.

Good luck on the sale, and the new black land cruiser purchase

@ryanCA

Thanks! Yep, wish i could keep them both, but it's not in the cards (and my wife likes her Audi too much... oh well).

I'm not solely looking for a black truck - it's just a color that I originally discounted, but have warmed up to over time.

My plan with this LC is to keep it simple.

Major planned modifications are a color-matched ARB Sahara bar (with hoop), OEM strut spacers, IPF 930 driving lamps, drawers, and maybe an extended range fuel tank - that's about it. Clean and practical.

The LC came with an OEM Toyota bug deflector. I'm not sold on the mustache look of the black deflector against the white paint. I've contemplated painting it Super White to match the vehicle and blend in a bit more, hopefully I'll get some time to knock that out this spring.

As of now I've added a RAM mount / small X-Grip (utilizing the lower mounting bolt of the drivers side grab handle), Husky Liners (front/rear), an Attic from BROG, and placed the third row seats in storage. Down the road I plan on upgrading the electrical system with a Group 31 battery and BlueSea components (similar to my Tacoma).

I want this truck to be simple and understated. One of the things that has always attracted me to the more recent incarnations of the Land Cruiser is the well-proportioned and muted appearance. They're not flashy, but those who know, know the capability of the vehicle and its rarity.

I'd like to hold onto this truck for at least a decade, hopefully longer.

Sorry if I missed it, but how are you running power to the mount? I want to have an A-pillar USB-C, but can’t tell if folks are installing a USB outlet under the dash, or somehow hardwiring a USB-C cable to a tap a fuse?

I sold this LC many years ago, but never ran a dedicated power outlet to the A-Pillar.

You just ran an iPhone cable across the dash I assume?
