🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

Dog ready….
 
The axe is being held by some TACMOLLE Rubber Clamps. I'm honestly not too fond of them because of how stiff they are. It's not the end of the world, but it makes getting the axe on and off more trouble than I feel it should be. I like the style of mount, but I'd probably try a different one were I to do it over.
I use the same ones on my Polaris, and they soften up well w/ sun exposure

Unfortunately, they won't see much sun in the cargo area, but it's not like I'm taking the axe on and off on a daily basis or anything. Just something I thought I would mention. Good to know they soften up though in case someone wanted to use them on a roof rack, exterior molle panel, etc.

I'd like to get something similar for the saw, but haven't found anything that looks promising so far. Currently I'm just using some Nite IZE Gear Ties. I ran them through the molle panel and gave them a twist in between the molle and the saw. That way they stay in place when the saw is off and keep the saw from rubbing against the panel when stored.
I've previously given this some thought and I have plans to make some, modeled off wood working clamps. Using some "nut zerts" on the molle panel. Purchasing the threaded knobs and converting them into knob/bolts with some "T bolts" to make them tightening bolts. I don't know if the hardened alum clamp arms can be annealed to allow them to be bent into a half round shape and they're too expensive to try......lol. I'll probably buy some 1"x1/8" alum strap and form that into the shape I want (1/2 circle with a flat tang)

Rocklers.com is the web site for the knobs.....

Installed a TRD exhaust and looking to get a drawer system and tires.

Some other cosmetic and convenience changes such as hood struts, canvas back cover for the cargo, hitch light and a cool gas cap. :)

I like this idea.

I modeled and 3D printed custom mounts for the radios, and am planning to do the same for the folding saw at some point. I've just been really busy at work lately and haven't found the time to get it done.

Until I do though, the gear ties have been working well.

Another idea is to use a "quick Nut" basically it's a oblong shaped 1/2 nut. When you loosen the nut/knob a few turns then tilt it to one side the threads disengage and the knob slides off the threaded stud/bolt. To tighten the clamp down, you simply slide the knob over the stud until it stops, tilt the knob until it straightens/aligns on the stud, twist in the normal manner, until the clamp is secured/tight. I think it would be a relatively fast way to secure clamps. The downside to this method would be the studs would remain in the molle panel, but that being said you probably won't be jumping moving around back there while using a tool. I use them on my CNC wood milling machine as clamp hold downs. Same concept as my above post just smaller and probably not quite as easy. I like them due to their small size.

Just got finished installing ARK splash guards and Victory 4x4 engine, transmission, and transfer case skid plates.

Splash guards went quick, but I'd definitely recommend jacking each corner as you go to expose the wheel well. Working around the wheel with the vehicle sitting on the ground would have made everything much more difficult.

The skid plates weren't terrible to install solo, but having a second jack to hold each plate as I went was a huge help. Also, the instructions leave a lot to be desired, but the video instructions were decent and it's not a particularly difficult process. Everything lined up well, and the plates seem well made. My only complaint is the oil filter door which attaches with nuts that you're forced to reach up behind the skid plate to thread on. I'll be threading the holes on the plate and upsizing the bolts to eliminate the need for the nuts. It'll be an easy fix, but it seems like an oversight that it didn't come that way.
 
Ditched the large plastic hitch cover in favor of the smaller included piece. Added Land Cruiser hitch plug from ZR Tactical (look for him on ‘Mud in the 200 section) with an extended length locking pin.

I cannot find mine anywhere!! Do these for sure come with all land cruisers?

Unfortunately dealers frequently forget to provide all included accessories.
 
Tinted tail light covers, left and right armrests and large sunglasses case with LC logo. All from apps Alibaba or Aliexpress. If you don’t know about these. Alibaba is geared towards business to business and often sell in quantities but you can find some sellers who sell singles. Aliexpress are resellers of Alibaba and can find a wide range of items a slightly higher cost but still inexpensive. Most of the stuff you see on Amazon are people who buy from Alibaba and sell back to you at a much higher cost. Tinted tail light covers: $45, Armrests (good quality) $70, sunglasses case $16. More accessories for the LC will be available so keep checking back.

More accessories for the LC will be available so keep checking back. I just purchased forged Vossen replica wheels (26lbs per). Cost $1600CDN delivered to my door. You can customize your wheels to exact specifications bore size, offset, wheel width etc. These manufacturers are supplying many of the brands you’re buying. Very high quality. You can pay a nominal amount to have a 3rd party inspection company do a plant visit and verify the materials, forging method and quality they are advertising. I’ll send photos once installed. Just searing for the right tires.

Cut out the middle man and save some $. Happy hunting.

Welcome to the asylum.
 
How are you liking the rear seat back covers?
They are great. Fully cover the back of the seats and seem to be pretty secure. A lot of the ones that I saw only covered the carpet part of the seat backs, but these cover the Softex part as well. They are like a flexible plastic feel, not quite rubber, but almost as flexible.
