In my case, I've already replaced these complete arms 96k miles ago. The BJs are good, but I'm really curious to see how 96k pretty hard miles have treated the rubber bushings. I'm putting poly in place. Reluctantly.
Well I'll have all the...
Update on my three o_O snapped valve cover bolts from the weekend:
Could not get them out by welding a nut on - tried 3 times with progressively larger bolts/welds. The glowing red hot heat from the weld didnt help.

I grew up in a 100 Series, my father bought one when I was 9. I'm 33. and now my first child (due any day now) is going to grow up in one. Despite the age, and all things associated with 100's (heavy maintenance, economy, dated tech), these are...
It appears to have A/M CV Axles, so budget ~$1,000 for new CV's and flanges if it has a vibration. It looks to have heavy spray off the driveshaft onto the tank skid, something is strange about that but I guess if you've never degreased that area...
If you're in OK and not offroading with this car why are you considering a land cruiser at all? They have atrocious gas mileage, cost a fortune to maintain and are not fun to drive as a daily. Get an AWD Sienna. I am not even joking. Land...
Next up on “how the PO screwed me” the AC lines are shot somewhere. First hot day since I got the truck. Zero cool air. Got a little pressure gauge recharge kit. Zero pressure. Gave it a little juice and it sprayed right out from somewhere...
Can’t believe I’ve owned this for 10yrs, how time flys. Wife was complaining about not being able to see at night driving it, so it was time to address the badly faded and cloudy headlights. I had buffed these out with restoration kits a couple...
If you want the front sway bar lasting, check the air conditioner drip exhaust tube, which is in the rear of the engine bay right in front of the passenger's glove box.
That exhaust tube drips water directly onto that sway bar joint to the...
I took the design off of someone on here maybe ntsaint.
The carpet is speaker box carpet, probably not the most durable but it is cheap and easy to work with.
I did make a dummy panel to place over the slide when the fridge is not there.
Thanks!

Well Lou’s green Machine is Now an Idahoan! After my son totaled my 2004 LX, I was being a smart ass and sent Lou a picture of my wrecked 04 and said I might need new headlights. Of course Lou laughed and said he literally just posted his 06...
Slowly getting there. Body work is done. Primer will be done by tomorrow. Hope to have it back next week. Having to exercise every bit of my patience. Weird seeing someone else work on your 100 when you normally do all the work.
Lowering the front will help immensely. I would take an old toothbrush and make you clean the TB bolts, then clean them again and make sure they are clean. The last thing you need is a little grit making it's way in the TB anchor arm and jacking...
2nd pic. Your upper ball joint is covered in grease and looks to be separated. Way too much flex either way. It's obvious the front is too high. The ironman torsion bars are fine. I have them with no front bumper/armor. Need the 21.5" fender to...
Went to the bodyshop and spent a few hours putting trim, mirrors, new weatherstripping and belt moldings on. Glass guy did new Toyota windshield too. Planning to bring it back Monday. They're painting the dissent front bumper and rear bumper...
21.5” Hub to Fender, no need to align right now. Go out and put some miles on it. When I bought mine, the front was at 23” and it rode, and drove like a dump truck.
The front end of your truck is way too high.
