3M PPF on the headlights and fog lights. Did not want to deal with sanding these later in life as they would be a bitch to do with the geometry of them.

There are ways to hide the door-lock key hidden underneath without using a magnetic box and then keep the fob and battery hidden inside the rig. A faraday bag can be used to hold the fob inside the cruiser, or you can separate the fob and battery and put them in a bag together and hide them. In a desperate situation you can break a 2nd row window to access the fob and battery.

That's just ridiculous (in a good way)
One of my favorite cruisers ever.

greetings, was this a precut kit?
Basically. Local shop cut 3M template for the Cruiser. It’s 2 pieces due to geometry. $120 for headlights and fog lights.
Xpel offers a slew of precut kits for LCs now, here's what is available for 16+, if this links correctly:
Paint Protection Film Pre-Cut Kits
Generally if you know someone with a car club code or the like, you can get upwards of 20% off from the website. Retailers/installers also don't pay anywhere near these prices so the headlight/fog light kit that retails for $118 can often be had for $120 installed at a shop. Just depends what you're looking for.

Thanks, I ordered an xpel precut kit for the headlights a few days ago. I'm wondering if 3M scotchgard PPF is as durable as xpel? I might just buy a roll of it and cut it for the hood / front fenders
Thank you!

Upgrades are coming.
Ventilated seats - anyone done that in an early 200?
Could you send a link to the lights that you purchased?

Are you running stock suspension?
2nd the link to your headlights? Are they after market or did you separate them and paint the inside? Your trucks great, love that entire front end!
Just turned 120,000 on my 2008 LC. What an amazing machine.
I purchased this one 2 years ago with 99,xxx miles. PO took decent care of it, at least changed the oil every 5k, but other than that I inherited all the 100k mile preventative maintenance and scheduled maintenance which I was fine with as I am mechanically inclined. Luckily, a friend pointed me to this website which honestly has been invaluable to servicing and maintaining this truck on my own. This past weekend I wrapped up the schedule maintenance for 120k and threw on new OEM rotors, pads and parking shoes. This thing drives like it is brand new.
If you are on the fence about buying an older cruiser, I encourage you to take the plunge. Between it being a quality, reliable machine and having MUD and its knowledgeable members as a resource, i'd say there is no risk. I'm looking forward to another 100,000 miles, issue free.

Just did all my 120,000 service. About to do the front brakes and it'll be driving brand new as well! These things are awesome for sure.
So after about 4500 miles I took these wheel spacers off. One lug broke off the front left wheel rotor and the ones on the rear began flexing so much they made a clicking noise. Back to the drawing board.
That's definitely concerning! Any chance they weren't torqued appropriately? That could cause these types of issues.
He powder coats them. You can specify color and finish or ask for it bare metal
Installed Pedal Commander on my 2018 LC.
Can't believe how significant of a difference this makes. When I originally test drove the truck, I was disappointed at how the pedal response was more or less the same as my old 2003 Sequoia (4.7 L engine). I had expected more. With Pedal Commander at the default SportPlus +0, the truck is downright jumpy (way too jumpy). I find that regular Sport +3 is perfect and FUN. Sport +0 is inline with what I expected the truck to drive like when I test drove it the first time (and where I'll keep it for when my wife drives).
The device's cable length is perfect. I didn't need the included velcro to attach it anywhere. I stuffed the cable up under the edge of the driver's side center console panel, so that the Pedal Commander comes out just to the side of my seat. It's out of sight, but easy to pull up to change the setting if needed. But won't really need to pull it up to change the setting, since it is bluetooth-enabled, so I can change the setting from my phone.
Here's how I routed the cable from the gas pedal:
Here's where it comes out next to the driver's seat, completely out of sight:
