What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (39 Viewers)

[half k cruiser]

Replaced the puny little LX rear springs with some from an 80 series. My rear pressures were way high since I built the bumper and the truck was riding like a tractor. My rear pressures are a little low now, but the cushy ride is back.

What springs did you use, OEM 80 ?

Took out my dash cam from my truck since I’m selling it and put it in the 100. Unfortunately now the compass on the rear view mirror seems to have stopped working. I’m guessing the magnetic bracket is causing interference? Anyone have experience with that?

Man your LX looks amazing. I desperately need to have a good detail done lol.

Hey Dinnertime we can for sure detail yours! Where are you located? Check out my business page Atlanta Detailers on Facebook and see some of my work.

I'm in love. Had I known that the ride was this smooth I would have opted for MTs years ago.

But I guess my husband heard me a mile away.

Wait until after they're worn down a little, woh woh woh woh woh woh woh woh woh. Looks good though, love the aggressiveness look of M/T's

Since I have always had excessive fuel vapor and pressure with the 100, I decided to replace the Charcoal Canister. I opted for the the cheapest option RockAuto had since it was the cheapest option I could find anywhere. What I received seemed like an OEM Denso replacement. It even has the Toyota sensor on top.

The old 334k mile canister was twice as heavy as the new one. I speculate the charcoal was saturated with gas.

I also upgraded the tail lights. I picked up a like new set of later model tail lights from @Gdub216 last year and finally finished the install. I needed amber bulbs 90981-15011 and the harness 81555-60680. The tailgate lights were done a few weeks ago when I installed the Huracan storage lid. These are a huge improvement from my stock faded, cracked and scratched tail lights.

Lastly, I plugged the holes in the rear trim where the 3rd row seatbelts used to be. Used amber LED trailer clearance lights on a switch in the back. These put off a light glow which will be great for illuminating my cargo when camping without wrecking night vision.

Very nice, any improvement yet on the fuel vapor?

i get some whiffs of gas when climbing hills sometimes as well.

I finally adjusted my Torsion bars and think I got my neutral pressures back to spec.

Took me a while to figure out where the bolt for the adjustment was...just behind the front doors is where that 30mm guy lives...staring at you.

did 3 full turns on passenger side and 4 on drivers. Before and after hub to fender heights were :

driver 19 and 8/16 inches and after 4 turns =19 and 12/16 inches

Passenger 19 7/16 inches and after 3 turns =19 11/16 inches

Neutral pressures before adjustement:

Towed the raft out to the Delaware. The NE had a cold spring; glad we look to be out of it now.

Very nice. Where exactly is this place?

Recovered my speaker grills. Found FourWinns Marine Tan Marine Grade Speaker Cloth to be almost an exact match to OEM.

Thanks for the product number! Getting ready to do this myself.

I'd pull the front drive shaft and the hub flanges to see if it eliminates the vibration. Both cv axles or the front drive shaft could have been impacted during the fun time proceedings.

thread related content--still chasing down a sound that alternates between a clunk and a vibration. Tonight I greased up all u-joints (thinking it might affect the sound and let me know it's a u-joint--nope) and then dropped the front driveshaft. No difference. Vibration (kind of a low-pitched buzz on overrun or when braking) is gone tonight; clunk is back. No change based on steering inputs. Sure sounds like a bad u-joint--possibly rear prop shaft, but it sure sounds like it's coming from the front. Tomorrow I'll pull the flanges and go for a ride with the CVs not spinning and see if anything is different. If not, I'll reinstall all the front bits and drop the rear prop shaft . . .

Here's my terrible video of the sound--it's the low-pitched thunkathunkathunka not whatever is loose in my console and rattling. This is in neutral on a slight downhill, going from probably 20 down to 5 mph. If I were a genius I'd have filmed the speedometer to at least give you something to look at. But I'm not.



Also today, I finally transcribed the Toyota maintenance records I got a dealer to print out for me. Fun facts: Bearings have been done a LOT, as have fluid changes. And this baby got a new multi-function display in 2016. So that thing will probably continue to underperform for years and years.
