Looks like it uses the existing trim screw holes. There is a black trim piece there on the front of the hood. The one attachment point outside uses a clip?

"Say hello to the AT37, a modified Toyota Land Cruiser built by Arctic Trucks. On the surface, it looks like a Land Cruiser with meaty tires. But there's a bit more to it than that.

Arctic Trucks—the same group that built Top Gear's Hilux fleet for the infamous Polar Special—went after the latest Land Cruiser with a whole host of upgrades. The stock suspension is replaced with a 2-way adjustable setup featuring longer-travel coilovers in front. New springs and dampers hold up the rear, giving the tweaked Toyota a modest 1.5-inch suspension lift. 17-inch wheels from Arctic Trucks are shod with BFGoodrich T/A K03 37-inch tires (hence the AT37 name), and to make sure they fit without rubbing, a 10-piece widebody kit is installed."

Love the Tasman blue they used from the defender lineup. Great color!

What’s the scoop on these guys? I’ve never heard of them. Good quality and workmanship?

Arctic Trucks is the real deal. They're based in Iceland and have decades experience in modifying 4x4 to handle long expeditions in icy, snowy, and rocky terrains. Back in the late 90's they built two 80-series with 44 inch tires to cross Antarctica. Their 80-series Land Cruisers were the first production 4x4 to cross Antarctica.

Top Gear did an episode using their Hilux build which was hilarious. Check it out:

Artic Trucks outfitted some pretty crazy expeditions. It doesn't get more real than these folks.
 
Missing the 250 and 550, but have been fortunate enough to be driving some older Prados overseas.

Lexus had another GX 550 at Daytona this year. I'm assuming this is a '25 overtrail+ but I could be wrong.
Certainly shooting for the overlanding crowd with this one, and it was surrounded by people everyday so can't say they missed their mark.

Sometimes when you buy a 200 with 256k on the clock for $15k, you just don’t care what kinda headlights the previous owner installs. The wheels… well yep they are different and I promise they grow on most people
 
I've always thought those Nomad wheels look great and match the aesthetic of a land cruiser or GX really well. I would just be worried about scraping up the face on rocks because I am stupid and don't know how to drive.
