Removing factory running boards (1 Viewer)

Another option is SLEE Sliders SLEE - SliderStep Pair - '24+ Land Cruiser 250 / Lexus GX550 - Slee Off Road [LC250 / GX550]

Not necessarily a cheap option, but these have the option of utilizing the power for the lights and also provide a great, solid step, and tremendous rocker protection as well.

Just removed mine today. Called around to Lexus and Toyota for some form of dust cover option for the bare plug with no luck. So I filled them with dielectric grease, electrical taped them really tight and zip tied them up. they stay dry.

My BMW had its TPMS module connector tucked away like that for 5+ years with no problem and that car will throw a tantrum if anything is even slightly wrong.

I didn't even put dielectric grease in it. I suspect you'll be fine.

Does anyone know about installing 2024 LC OEM rock rails on a 2024 OT GX550?

I'm not sure if anyone has done it, but if I was starting from scratch I'd recommend chasing down the part numbers for both and seeing if they are the same. Lexus and Toyota use the same part numbers for parts used on both vehicles.

@CaryGX550 i went the route you did and went with the LC boards. They are slimmer and give the truck even more of a lifted look.

My wrapped running boards are for sale if anyone wants an extra set in So Cal.

Removing and Installing both sides is a 20 min job max as a solo job.

Your truck looks great! Nori Green+Black is a mean look.

Love the look. Do they feel sturdy? I feel like the GX running boards are very flimsy. Especially in cold weather, they crackle and flex... Are those the base standard LC boards? I will look into this myself.

Also, wonder how they align with the OEM mudguards in the front...

 

[munkeeboi]

they are definitely lighter, but just as sturdy. I didn't have feel much flex in either step. Yes, these are the standard LC illuminated steps (I think they have unlit ones too - 1958 model?) and they bolt/plug in as a straight swap.

The front mudguards don't line up at all (the LC steps are a couple inches shorter at the front) and you'd have to buy the LC front mudguards which are cheaper than the Lexus tiny flap indented ones

Wow, I never cared much about adding mudguards but at $17/each with the 25% off I'm thinking about it. I think the Lexus rears are around $50/ea if I recall correctly.

 

[munkeeboi]

yeah, the Lexus rears are about $50 each, but the LC fronts from Toyota are pretty cheap comparatively.

I got the fronts and 8 oil filters for $59 shipped
