Mine just landed in Mississippi

Is the door edge guard clear, like extra thick PPF? If so and it's anything like the ones on our Silverado horse hauler, they're actually the best thing I never wanted (until I had them).

Painted and thicker than PPF. Not really noticeable with the doors closed.

If I was building it for myself I’d push it more but I want this to just have a better look. My daughter is used to driving a cool Land Cruiser

Leaning more towards a 285/75R18 right now. Not sure what will be “too much tire” for this power plant yet. On my 100 and 200, 34s were the max before it became unpleasant to drive without a re-gear.

Yeah I have 34s on my 200 and they are truly the perfect tire. As I said, since it’s going to be a DD for my 22 year old I just want it to look a bit cooler a not have to deal with cutting or spacers

Mine has the big ones splitting the door 50/50

I think that’s what we are talking about here.

For mine in particular, I'm not sure. It hasn't arrived yet. But I'm thinking they are the ones like @HeadacheManNYC posted.

Door edge guard vs body side molding.

The side moldings are definitely an interesting touch. Gives it more of a 200 feel - at least from this angle.

Thanks! I don’t think it’s possible without cutting some brackets on either side of the spare. Even with that you’d be close to the panhard bar. I’ve seen one on IG with the new KO3 in LT275/70R18 - 33.2” according to BFG. They said it fit with not mods. I’m not sure a 34 would fit. I’ll try to drop the spare later this week and dig a little deeper.

Test fit on BFG KO3 275/70R18 @ ~ 33 psi. Fits in spare, barely. A couple mm to spare. I pushed it rearward where it is touching the hitch to gain a little clearance near the diff. It’s close. Don’t think I could fit any larger in the spare.

Stock Geolandar on stock wheels = 71.1 lbs. KO3 on stock wheels = 91.3 lbs

My turn. Moldings are coming off the second it gets parked in the garage.

Excellent! Exactly what I have ordered. Have you been able to test them for rubbing full turn, full stuff?

Those things are god awful.

The bro level is strong with this one.

Take a shot everytime he talks about "tie-ing in all the colors"

I don’t hate them at all.

Wheel well moldings will prevent stone chips. That’s why they’re there.

 

[TheLCProject]

What is a wheel well molding, @OSS ?

The discussion above has been about the door edge guard protection and the body side moldings.

My mistake- I thought the molding reference was the wheel well flares. Oops

 

[JZGarage]

Bah - it would be really nice if the 250 accommodated a ~34" tire in the spare location.

The start of my build. Coming from a 200 series. First step was wheels and tires. I removed the air dampers on the front fascia and the front mud flaps but not sure it was 100% necessary. No lift or any further modifications. After a 30 mile trip, no noticeable road noise and lost about 1.5mpg.

Icon Alloy Recon SLX 18x9 +40 offset
Falken Wildpeak AT4W: load range C, 285/70/r18 33.7 or Falken claims 34”

I took it over into the desert by my house and tried to get some rub but never felt or heard anything. Here are some quick photos I grabbed but I would say, success!

Did you get a matching spare? Can't quite tell.

Parked in front of TCCN automotive. So either a customer is getting her serviced or she will have a video done on her.
