🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

[jenos96]

Installed goose seat deletes. This went smoother than the rear plate, which is surprising since the seat deletes don’t have instructions (not even online).

Was a bit of puzzling it together. I also modified the ‘head board’ to be able to swing up in case I have a passenger that doesn’t want to be crushed up into the dash.

That’s mine in the photos and the camping shots. Any questions, ask away.

Hello! Did most of the build of mine today and will install tomorrow…. if I can get some ideas for the drawer fronts. Ours wen’t pre drilled for installation and I’m afraid that if I screw through the front the hex stuff will crack and chip.

The video mentions that the “new” style is pre drilled and comes with black screws for installation. But what if it’s the old style? How did those install?

I’ve got a question in to Solid Wood Worx as well - but if I can find a solution before Monday, I can install this weekend!

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I would wait to see how Solid Wood Worx responds given you’re asking about a highly visible spot. FWIW, I can say I drilled through the hex drawers for mounting some things and it didn’t splinter….just drilled a pilot hole first.

Added the Reno Hitch Slider and D Ring Shackle! Just a bit of fun, but like the look!

That is neat. I kinda like it.

Installed a FitcamX front dash cam need to figure out how to wire the rear. So far so good I think it’s going to be more for Offroad footage

 

[JustinHEMI]

Installed some ditch lights, the Nashfabco brackets, and a Garmin Powerswitch.

I agree with what others said elsewhere on the forum, the nashfabco brackets are way over priced for what they are, and although my tabs didn't break, they will eventually if/when I take them off a few more time.

THAT BEING SAID, I think they look great and currently, they are meeting my need to mount lights AND an antenna. They also provide additional engine compartment venting, though it probably doesn't need it.

I went with the Garmin Powerswitch because while spendy, not running wires through the firewall is priceless to me. I'll eventually add other accessories to it, but for now, it's just the ditch lights.



Fortunately everything you need to install it is in the engine compartment, power and a ground.

Based on a photo posted by another member, I decided to mount it on the passenger fuse box cover and that turned out great because the battery power and ground is nearby.

I used the power towards the front of the truck.

I cut a very tight hole through the cover, and loaded up the connection with dielectric grease for a little extra protection due to that hole. I will follow up and put some silicone sealant around it eventually.

Factory ground point on passenger side, conveniently ran the switch and busbar ground here.

I'm sure I could have made the wiring prettier, but I wanted to leave enough slack and such that the cover could still be removed and set aside without disconnecting anything and that's what I've achieved.

For the lights, I'm giving these lights from Harbor Freight a whirl for 85 bucks. I've had Rigid before, and I can't tell a difference in quality. Time will tell.

And here they are on the brackets. I gave a test drive tonight and now I understand how useful these lights will be, not just for offroading.

And the side with the antenna.

Screenshot of the powerswitch. I wired the lights separately so I could turn them on independently depending on need.

Oh and I installed hoot struts. Should have came with them.

Productive day!

Installed OEM skid plates today. Easy peasy. Not quite at 5k miles but did the oil change too since I was already down there.

You even did color matched struts! They're bluetiful

Nice looking install!

Looks great! I assume you used PT228-35241 for the rear skid?

 

[pmurphy]

Has anyone found a better looking tow hitch cover?

Use the half cover with the hitch plug of your liking. It looks much better

It does, but was asking about a slimer better looking after market hitch cover.

 

[DoMoCruiser24]

Yep

PT228-60242 (Front Skid Plate)

PT228-35241 (Skid Plate)

I added a magsafe wireless charger where the premium/fe wireless charger is. Attached with double stick tape so it holds my phone securely in that spot

Where did you get the hood struts?

 

[turbo8]

Added billet aluminum lower control arms with oem type bushings.

 

[JustinHEMI]

Where did you get the hood struts?

You can get them just about anywhere now I got mine from stickerfab.

 

[Jdmrsxe]

Extended door arm rest, ditch light brackets with Baja’s, rock sliders, Garmin PowerSwitch, and rear cargo upper shelf with Baja dome light, just to name a few…

That rear cargo shelf looks awesome where’d you get it?
