Wheel Well Design Improvement? Land Cruiser 250 vs 5G 4Runner.

This is something I'd heard you can do. So I looked into it more. Using the Toyota app you can Start/Stop as well as Lock/Unlock your car. This is how I did it. But I think you can also use the dedicated shortcuts app to even have it do these commands with buttons/tapping instead of voice commands. Here's how to do it. First click "Info" on the main screen. Then go to "Siri Shortcuts" After that type/speak the phrase you'd like. I included mine below, I kept it simple. I couldn't find a really good YouTube video on it to share but I found a decent one HERE. Maybe I'll make my own video if anyone is interested.

After tearing into my wheel wells and fenders the other night I noticed something different on my LC250 vs my 5G4R.

And it's simply a better designed piece of plastic between the fender and the driver/passenger door opening. This piece is solid! And very form fitting. The purpose? To keep mud, dirt and water out of the area between the fender and the opening of the front doors. (I'll post a photo of the 4Runner equivalent below)

This is on the 4Runner. I did buy this car secondhand so I can assume there was one there at one point. But maybe there wasn't. (Normally there are fender liners) but the 250 has both. And the 250 just looks way more solid the way it's mounted and pushed back. A tire will not touch this so there's no reason to remove this.

Just something I noticed and thought I'd share. Anyone else care to add their thoughts compared to other Toyota vehicles?
