🛠️ What Have You Done To Your LC250 Today?

Traded the First Edition rack for some rails and crossbars. I’m a paddle boarder and surfer, not a hardcore overlander. Crossbars work better for my lifestyle. Removed the squishy rubber air dams.

Your LC looks great! I am picking mine up on Friday -same color and the FE. Also a surfer and think I will be able to make those racks work but we will see.
This question is asked a million times on here but once more....what tires do you have on there? I think I see Nitto Grappler but cannot be sure. Also the size? Did you keep 265/70/r18 or go up one? Any leveling or lift?
 
Thanks… I am totally smitten with the color. I had a ‘78 FJ40 in mustard yellow for many years. Trail Dust may now be my new all-time favorite color. I think it looks amazing on the LC, especially out in nature.

No lift or other mods. These pictures are before the roof rack switch. I also couldn’t resist the comparison with last generation LC.

Awning install... testing on the highway for upcoming CO camping trip. Fabricated some brackets to install on OEM roof rack. It's quiet and stable on the interstate. Pelican case, jerry can (never needed in the past, but with this tiny gas tank, possibly a necessity) and WaterPort next...

How’s wind noise with cross bars vs roof rack? Been thinking of making that switch too

What have you done to your Land Cruiser 250 recently?

I double black tinted the rear windows, changed to Katzkin Cognac leather, added 18” Nitto tires, and have all weather floor mats. Plan to add gloss black side mirror covers and glass black window switch covers on the doors when they make them for the 1958s.

I do really like those seats! Unfortunately Katzkin hasn't come out with the FE knee extension version yet.
 
First oil change @1108 miles. The pictures online seriously don’t do it a justice. The oil filter is small! Some might say comically small. And then later in the evening, gave her her second wash by hand.
 
Cleaned the interior and first wash. Tomorrow clean the widows and some touch up.
 
I had the front protected with protective film. I'll do the sides next month when I can be without the ride for a couple of days.

Looks great. I have Katzkin in my Jeep JL as well and it's held up really good. I was looking at the same color for my 1958. I was quoted about $2000 including installation. Did you get charged extra for the arm rest?

Yes, I was charged $150 for the armrest. They didn’t do it when they replaced the leather even though I had asked for it. Eye roll.
