The Grenadier vs the new Land Cruiser 250. Is it even close?

Need a version with round headlights to enter the pageant

Otherwise, I like both and wish to own a Land Cruiser someday

Yes, the 1958 LC is far better looking!

The local dealer is asking for a $5K “market adjustment” for a 1958. That pushes the Land Cruiser in to Grenadier pricing. When you put them side by side, I’m just not seeing them as equitable. The Grenadier is built like a tank. The half-ton weight difference is apparent in every component.

Hi bikesandguitars, where did you buy the checker plates for the front bumper?

I purchased them from a vendor on eBay along with the fender treads. I secured them with the supplied adhesive strips and reinforced them with black coated, stainless steel, self tapping metal screws. They’ve held up well.
