That Ouray SAR cruiser is for sale, or so I'm told 🤫



All for a good cause.

That is awesome. Wish I was in the market as would have loved to have my LC a part of that history as well as service to the community! Best I can come to that is I used to live in Ouray some time back and recently bought my LC in CO (but not Ouray)...lol. Hope it finds a good owner. In the meantime, going to order some T-shirts and hats to help sponsor.
 
Perfect vehicle for creating some screen-free experiences and good memories.

My son was stoked on this third shot bullseye. Originally picked up this FX for pest control around the house but it's a new favorite.

We got home covered in dust cause he wanted the windows down on the trail so he could listen to the turbo. haha

Rebuilt front and rear axles from hub to hub (seals/bearings) and installed OE locking differentials with 4:56 gears (removed old open diff axles). Powerstop Brake rotors and pads. Slee braided brake lines from axle to caliper. Extended OE brake lines from frame to axle. Trail Tailor Tourflex 3" springs. Landtank castor correction plates. Trail Tailor front ABS plugs. Trail Tailor Aw Nuts Locks.

After installation I drove her up into the mountains for a 300 mile shakedown run near Lassen Park. (don't worry I took it way easy on the gears).

I replaced the 20+ year old OME nitrocharger shocks on mine
Wasn't until i removed them that I realised how worn they were, compression on one of the rears was almost nothing and with all 4 when fully compressed some would take about 5 min to extend. No visible leaks or anything but when compressing and extending them can hear alot of gurgling going on.....
I suppose one 'adjusts' to it being a gradual degradation over time but it sure handles like a different car now and feels so much more smooth
 
3D printed out a new cup holder, still trying to nail down the best placement since it’s a little awkward by the shifter so here it sits for now. Pretty neat little solution!

Lots of people have those.

Most mount here

I printed the same one :D here’s mine. I’m reprinting soon with a beige filament and dialing in fuzzy skin instead of winging it.

I printed a base plate (drawn in white) to clear the lip on the side (is that LX specific? idk) The placement seems spot on - haven’t had any complaints from any passengers.

Attached with strips of this 3M tape with no problems yet

edit because the pictures don’t show it: I lined up the outside right angle of the phone holder to sit slightly outside of the PWR button. Perfect dimensions from the guy who designed it IMO

My coworker is going to redo mine. My cup holders are removable and they're frankly to big for anything.

My daughter drives my Land cruiser now and he's making one of the holders to fit her cup
 
I've wanted to clean up this rat's nest for so long and finally bought myself the opportunity to do something about it... a new head unit! The one my truck came with was in Japanese so I was happy to swap it out, add CarPlay, and get some room back behind the radio.

A few days later my glow shift 3-in-1 gauge arrived so I added another branch to the radio wiring to accommodate that. Here in Japan the auto parts stores stock a full inventory of wiring supplies by a company called Amon including these molex-style connectors. They make aftermarket electronic installs way more factory and easier to maintain.

How are those powerstop brakes treating you?

My brakes suck with the 35's and I'm looking for an easy way out

I think they work well. I deleted the ABS system as well. Absolutely firmer and more responsive. They reallt took some breaking in though and drug for a short time.

Nice!! Did the ABS delete cause a firmer pedal or is that attributed to the powerstop brakes? How's the initial bite compared to stock?
