With the Land Cruiser back in the mix, I know some people cross-shopped the Sequoia and the upcoming 6th Gen 4Runner. What ultimately made you choose the 250 Series over those? Was it the retro design, size, hybrid system, or off-road gear? Or were you on the fence? If you already owned a Sequoia or 4Runner before — how does the LC compare so far? Could be helpful for buyers still deciding between Toyota’s big 3 SUVs

I just installed my RCI Aluminum skid plates for the LC250. I got the engine and transfer case skids on within 30 minutes. I'm still waiting on the transmission skid to show up so I'll put that on in a week or so. I've been wanting RCI skids for so long and finally got some. After hearing all the hype I can see why. The powder coat is nice, welds are good, they seem high quality and the customer service was good also. I'm thinking I'll order the diff skid & lower link skids as well. One of my favorite things about the RCI skids is the raised edges around the bolts so that they don't get broken or cracked on rocks.

Since my LC250 is long traveled I opted for aluminum to keep things as light weight as possible but still offer protection. If you plan to rock crawl or slide skids a lot I'd recommend the steel option.

Anybody else running this same setup or a different brand? If you have pics of you using your skid plates on the 250 I want to see them
