SEMA Spotlight: A Land Cruiser That Commands Attention
At SEMA 2025 in Los Angeles, the Alpharex × Liberty Walk LC250 Land Cruiser stopped foot traffic and filled phone galleries. It’s an unapologetic styling exercise built to highlight AlphaRex's Nova Series LED headlight and taillight package — and it succeeds. The result is an aggressive, show-ready Land Cruiser that still leaves its core mechanical character untouched.
What’s changed — and what hasn’t
The transformation is largely visual. Liberty Walk’s LB-WORKS LAND CRUISER 250 body kit reshapes the SUV with signature bolt-on wide fenders, a reworked front bumper with integrated LED daytime running lights, rear under-spoiler, trunk spoiler, bonnet duct cover, and a dramatic rear wing. The parts are molded from FRP, and Liberty Walk offers the full kit or individual components:
- Complete FRP kit: $8,800
- Front bumper: $2,420
- Rear bumper: $1,100
- Rear wing: $880
- Trunk spoiler: $660
- Hood attachment: $990
Finishing touches include 24-inch forged Vossen HFX-1 wheels wrapped in Toyo Proxes ST III all-season performance truck tires. The lowered stance, subtle spacers, and Liberty Walk’s bolt-on fenders give the LC250 a planted, theatrical look while the Alpharex Nova Series LEDs lend a modern, premium finish.
Under the skin: factory drivetrain and capability
Importantly for enthusiasts who value substance beneath the style, the LC250’s hybrid i-FORCE MAX powertrain remains untouched. Power and torque figures are stock: 326 hp (331 PS) and 465 lb-ft (630 Nm) sent to all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic and full-time 4WD. Curb weight sits at about 5,921 lb (2,400 kg) with a 112.2-inch (2,850 mm) wheelbase.
There are no mechanical upgrades to brakes, engine, or suspension geometry, so off-road capability is preserved. In short: the spectacle is cosmetic, but the Land Cruiser’s torque-first hybrid system, robust chassis, and 4WD hardware still make it a genuine overland-ready SUV.
Design notes and market context
Liberty Walk has previously worked the larger 300 Series, but this is the tuner’s first proper dive into the US-market LC250. The build emphasizes contrast between the Land Cruiser’s utilitarian roots and Liberty Walk’s haute-couture widebody aesthetic. Rather than attempting to outpace AMG or high-horsepower rivals, this LC250 chooses showmanship and street presence.
A few highlights:
- AlphaRex Nova Series LED headlights and taillights modernize the SUV’s front and rear signatures.
- 24-inch forged wheels provide both visual scale and a premium finish.
- Bolt-on wide fenders remain true to Liberty Walk’s recognizable design language.
Who is this build for?
This Land Cruiser will appeal to buyers who want an unmistakable street presence without sacrificing Toyota’s reliability and off-road credibility. It’s for enthusiasts who value appearance and individuality — collectors, influencers, and owners who attend car meets and SEMA-style events.
Practical implications and buyer considerations
While the package dramatically changes ride height and wheel fitment, buyers should consider real-world trade-offs: 24-inch wheels and low-profile tires can affect ride comfort and increase risk of wheel damage on rough roads. Because brakes and suspension tuning remain stock, serious off-roaders may want to prioritize wheel/tire choices to preserve on-trail performance.
"It’s theater first, trail-ready second," is one way to summarize this collaboration. Yet the beauty of this build is that it doesn’t masquerade as a hardcore performance conversion; it’s clearly a styled Land Cruiser that keeps its workhorse DNA.
Final take
The Alpharex × Liberty Walk LC250 Land Cruiser is a bold fusion of aftermarket spectacle and factory capability. It proves you can deck out a modern Land Cruiser with a high-drama body kit, premium forged wheels, and advanced LED lighting without altering the hybrid i-FORCE MAX drivetrain that makes the LC250 a competent, off-road-capable SUV. For those who want to stand out at shows and still trust a Toyota on rugged terrain, this build checks the right boxes.

Whoa, that LC250 stopped me cold. Liberty Walk went full drama, those wide fenders are wild! Glad the hybrid is untouched tho. Ride height worries me, looks fragile on rough roads.
