But with so few 100 diesels on this forum (n/a in the usa
) I’m trying to color things up a bit It’s only 4 years left to wait & you’ll also have these machines.

WHat's the story? You can import a diesel of a certain age?
Looks a lot easier than doing it on a powerstroke.
Yes, it’s a walk in the park (if you don’t break a stud or strip a thread that is
)
Finally got to install my Trail Tailor Bumper winch, and my modded Headlamps.
Love to know more about this?
modded headlights look very modern.
nice touch
can you post a pic with the lights on or the taken at night with the lights on?
Custom slider update... my DOM was 1 5/8" no dies for bender in this size. Used 1 1/2" dies in a muffler bender flawlessly. Never thought it would bend .120 wall that easily. A lot of gussets to go still.
Oh! Jason built me some h/d sliders with a sweet textured Powder Coating. Install went really well. Talk about great fit and finish.

Looks really good! Instead of a square plate, i would weld it to a L bracket and wrap it under the frame for strength, and with 4 mounting points, you've got all the strength to support the weight of the truck. I guess if it does bend, then it'll rest under the pinch weld and with the weight spread out like that, it's not going anywhere.
Went to the local ravine and snapped this pic real quick, looks nice, thought i'd share.
Still going to gusset as well as add 45's to upper frame with 1" heavy wall.
Had to shut down here and take the wife for drinks/dinner/movie.

Used the weekend to take care of a couple of maintenance items. Heater T’s, Spark plugs and new lift gate struts.
First time changing all of the above on this vehicle. The information on this site is awesome! Very much appreciated.
2007 Lx470 with 140k miles, for reference.
Heater T’s came out without too much of a hassle. One end broke off and I was able to fish pieces out of the hose since I clamped it with vice grips. Other T looked fine and had no issues. Was able to reuse the hoses and clamps.
Spark plugs came out with no issues. Not sure of the age or if they had been changed but they appeared to be in good shape overall. I went ahead and replaced with new Denso Iridium’s.
OEM liftgate struts wouldn’t raise the hatch by themselves. Replaced with some EBay specials. Seem to work well and are the same size.

First post. Bought a nice 100 to replace my FJC. Obviously I wanted better gas mileage for my ~100mi/ day commute. Loved my FJ, it was setup to tackle most of the Class VI NH roads and most anything else I wanted to run. Lifted on Bilstein 6112's/5160's. Full skids, sliders, AFtermarket upper/lower links etc.. Compared to my 1st gen taco the FJ was like having an easy button offroad. I really loved it, plus it didn't look like anything else on the road. That being said, it was not all that comfortable, pretty loud inside, and has very little space for 2 giblets. Plus it's like driving a submarine. After 230k+ miles I was looking for a little nicer place to be, some more space while still being able to wheel decently. The 100 isn't going flex nearly as well as my FJ, especially in the front. But it'll still be passable.
Found a nice 98 100. Decent service records, 210k miles. Originally from CO, and has only been up here in rustachussets for a few years. 1st owner (i'm the 3rd) had the 2 pinion front replaced with and ARB. 2nd owner installed BIOR sliders but never wheeled it. Otherwise it's stock and ready to be modded/ wheeled.

Looks good!!! Now I'll have to train myself to "not" be on the lookout for your silver FJ, the blue cruiser should be easier to spot!
