Americas The big May 17 Announcement / Pricing / Discussion thread.

You'll get 5 locking wheel nuts, not 30.... There's only one lock per wheel, which is the standard set up

Laughing at myself!!! I clearly know nothing about locking wheel nuts. I'm glad I asked though! I can get 4 for $20 from Amazon. Time to uncheck that box.

5 make sure you lock the spare on

Any know if the RAI includes the fender cover plate for removal? Assume it doesn't.

If (I believe it is not official) Toyota brings the proper Land Cruiser/300 back to the US I can't imaging it starting (or being attainable) for less than 6-digits (the 2021s listed/started around $90 if I recall). If they bring in a "Prado" type LC it will have to be pushed upscale to avoid cannibalizing sales of the soon-to-be "new" 4Runner. So the "Prado LC" might start $20k less than @DDG 's ~$95k build (which is substantially over the base-base SW), but to spec the LC up to that level (lockers, towing, winch, suspension, etc. you might be back to $95k.

I know that prices for the new Taco have yet to be released, and I know the "new" 4Runner isn't on the radar yet from Toyota, but a current TRD-Pro 4Runner starts at $55 so I am assuming the Trail Hunter trims will be above that, say $60, but again that's before lockers, winch, towing etc. That said, the Trail Hunter would have to be priced below a LC product to keep the LC as the king of Toyota's hill, but not too high up as the Lexus hill goes higher.

the new LC isn't going to be their flagship model. from what I gather it's going to be mid sized and slide in-between models. in terms of cost as well.

as for looks, I don't know. I'm sure many would go nuts and like a a fj/90 new defender clone. I just hope the design date back further as I really haven't like many Yo designs for over 20 years

HI singlefin, The RIA does not come with a cover plate, however word is you can purchase one from Ineos. My build, a Trial Master, automatically comes with an RIA. It's supposed to take 10 min or less to remove it and put on the cover plate from others comments on the Forum. DaBull

Roger that, I'll look for a set of 5.

Thanks DaBull!

I like McGard and Gorilla. They're supposed to be harder to find a universal key for. Make sure you get the right thread pattern for the Grenadier!

You probably wouldn't get a set of 5, since the spare on other cars is locked inside the vehicle. It seems a limited market for vehicles with an external spare wheel so there is no great demand. Worst case scenario is you may have to purchase a set of 4 plus 1.

Q&A Americas - If I have an RAI from factory will this be supplied with the blanking plates so it can be removed if I wish?

Correct, but parts will be available to convert back to standard fitment.

Good point re threads, probably making IA ones closurer to a safer buy at the end of the day

I also saw Gorilla has sets of 5 on amazon in this size:

• M12x1.50 - Dual Hex (3/4 in. and 13/16 in.) - Conical 60 Degree Seat Nut - 0.88 in. wide - 1.57 in. tall

I just need to confirm the correct size to order. Anyone know?

They are definitely M14x1.5 nuts (not wheel "bolts" like most Europeans); however I'm not certain if the factory wheels are cone seat or ball seat

if Toyota unveils something like this I'm running down to my AD and pre paying. it seems like the basic model will be low cost as well.

the Lexus gx will be first up. interesting to see the changes to that model.

Let's try and keep this thread for the Rollout of the Grenadier in North America, theres plenty of other places on the forum to discuss Land cruisers.

So this might be the ticket for $26 if cone seat is correct: McGard Cone Seat Set of 5 M14 x 1.5 Wheel Locks

Here's the image from the Ineos accessories brochure:

I guess tires aren’t cheap, but if you have steelies in your vehicle, isn’t that a prEtta good deterent from steeling the wheels? Aluminum rims are a couple of grand, right? I guess people steel stuff all the time and will take what they can get…

If the crooks around here will take wheels off old beaters I'm sure they'd love to get their hands on a set of KO2s.
