🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

I did some significant mods this morning- removed the diaper from the rear bumper to install my Schittybilt beaver step (left over from my old Jeep) with the half diaper. The step discourages parking by feel. Second time lucky finding a locking hitch pin with a span wide enough for the Land Cruiser’s receiver. 3.5” was not wide enough.

…and installed a Toy Yoda on the rear view mirror.

This will help me psych myself up to install a black iForce Max badge overlay and Toyota vent visors- once I scrounge enough $$$ to pay the parts man of course.
 
I finally got my new LC on wednesday. I've spent few hours installing Bison molle panels and shelf.

As I read that some people are complaining about rattling I've added some rubber padding between brackets (third photo).. I also got rubber profile and put it wherever lower bracket would probably rub against trim (first photo). And just because I bought extra I added it around the edges of molle panel - will see if I keep it (first photo).

Just gave the LC its first real service (10k km). Fumoto FTW. Lubing en torquing the prop shafts was a bit of a challenge, mostly due to my clumsiness. View attachment 45788
This post peaked my curiosity. I looked at the manual and saw we actually need to grease the shaft more frequently than I expected.

I was surprised too. Basically every service interval. I purchased a Milwaukee M12 grease gun for the occasion and that worked great. I had a manual grease gun and I was always a messy job with that thing.
Re-torquing the bolts seemed a bit overkill. They were all in spec.
 
well now I have a excuse to go buy a new tool 😂. I found the chart and the info that if you do any “water crossing” to grease it in 24hrs. Can’t find the torque spec part, was that in the smaller maintenance manual?
 
I have the same wheels being shipped to me as we speak. Cannot wait to get these installed.
What size tires are you running? It looks great!
Thanks man! I love them, but they are going to be a PITA to clean. lol.

285/70r18, but I MAY take advantage of the 30 day deal and up the size. They are close to 34’s, which is what I was aiming for, so I should probably leave it alone.

Oh my gosh! So I have the exact same ordered for my install of lift/tires - Toyo ATIII 285/70/18. Have waffled back and forth on 285/75 or 285/70's. They told me yesterday I can change anytime up until install which is about 2 weeks away.
I kind of feel like I will regret not going all way with 285/75/18, or nearly 35".

Funny!

Right after I posted I went ahead and got 295/70r18’s, they get put on Monday.
My wife is annoyed - I figured she’d be used to it by now between my bikes and race car, but guess not!

Man that's fast. Are they taking back the tires you have on now, or just buying the larger at discounted price? I asked my group if I can swap - they said no, once mounted I own them.
How does the truck feel now with the 33.8"? Do you notice anything different from stock?
Also, looks like you have a lift? What do you have?
Yes my wife thinks I've gone crazy...once this is all done I can focus on other things😂

I found these documents (I'm sure here somewhere) and snugged the bolts to 88.3 Nm .
It also mentioned torquing the nuts and bolts on chassis and body. But it is unclear to me what that even means and I haveno specs for that. And I doubt a dealer would do this anyway.
