Nice looking! Did you make modifications before it left the dealership or is that stock?

It was modified at my request by the dealer. Just my skid plates are left to do now. And they will be here tomorrow.
@cruiserdan was playing hookie from the Land Cruiser Heritage Museum so we were short a resident Land Cruiser expert. We found this gentleman wandering around the museum so we gave him Dan's desk for the day 
Would you mind sharing what you did to the suspension, if anything, and what size/type tire you put on? It's a strange angle but sure looks like my ideal set up. As for skip plate, are you getting the ones on FE or something else?
TIA

Predictions: Bigger Tires?
Will a 285/70r18 that measures 33.75" fit? That is my question. I believe we are talking millimeters here and will find that while one 285 snugs up maybe the next won't. Yes, that's basically what I've seen so far. Occasionally someone says they got it to fit but most people who have tried...

I hope you asked Moritsu-san the following two questions:
- When can we expect the return of the split gate?
- When can we expect the Land Cruiser 300 to return to the US?
I jest, I jest.
...But Seriously.
255 80 17, Falcon Wildpeak. Leveling kit no lift yet. OE skid plates and I might do sliders in the future. Every Toyota I've ever owned ran 2mph lower than gps. With these new tires it is right on the money.

Rookie.
Ha... we had plenty of respectful talking points. After ripping around in the MegaCruiser, I was advocating for 4-wheel steering on all new Land Cruisers. Also jesting of course.
Thanks for the info! I am new to this but trying to learn as much as I can before I do any mods. Interesting you have put on 33" but slightly more narrow than what was even stock. Which I hear is a good thing from practical standpoint for most off-roading. And should not affect mpg's. Seems the change to 17" wheels is good idea and gives more options on tires. I think the leveling just raises the front slightly to match the rear for a bit of clearance for that taller tire?

That's awesome. Is Koyari-san coming again this year or is he finally "retired-retired"?
I think his cleats are now in the trophy case.That's awesome. Is Koyari-san coming again this year or is he finally "retired-retired"?

He's coming to Baja with us in November.
It will sag without a WDH, but with it, you are fine. MPG drops roughly in half. You will be boosting a lot, which sucks the gas!
Quick question. I've got a 250 on the way and noticed that the factory crossbars aren't slotted (for rack for fly rods) or adjustable fore/aft (for roof box) so I'm going to pass on them. Those don't look like the factory cross bars, are they Yakima?
Thanks!
Thanks!
