I fixed my straps with replacement elastic from Joann’s. Remove the entire panel and you’ll see how it attaches. If I recall correctly, the straps just fold and a fix to a card with staples. You’ll need to adjust the strap length to give you just...

Varied by market. The long one was for a scissor jack and tools, but I’m not sure the small one had a defined purpose. The 3rd row was installed when I bought my truck, and I found the anchor point covers hidden in the small compartment. I guess...

2nd q: I found USA-made Timken bearings inside my hub, and blue-green grease. I don’t think Uncle T shipped USA-made bearings in 1999, so I’m assuming someone replaced OEM with good quality parts. 144k miles today, stock, truck has has a sedate...

Funny, I’m right in the middle of the same job rn. Q: in @fussychicken’s post above, the last pic showing a view into backside of the rotor, the bearing race gets pressed in with the thinner edge facing up, yes? So that the bearing can be dropped...

Posted back to my thread on the topic here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/leaking-sunroof-surround-not-the-weatherstripping-seal-or-drains.1361489/ With a how-to.

There another thread on this topic here: https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/non-clogged-sunroof-leak-troubleshooting.1368717/#post-16080570 But I figured I’d add to my own instead. To recap, this is not about a problem with the sunroof’s rubber...

That’s good for pushing out most of a big dent, but it doesn’t apply here. Easy access to the back of the dent through the taillight access panel. The hard part is smoothing and taking the tension out of the metal. I got as far as I did with a...

Replacement OEM headlights are available all day long from Toyota. I bought a DS glass housing during a recent 25% off sale for about $208 shipped. You’ll regret buying whatever garbage Mall Wart is selling. So will oncoming drivers at night.

I just did a rear brake service so this is fresh in my mind. @WannaCruise did you attempt to loosen the steel cable that runs between the rear brake shoe mechanisms, along the axle? There is a turnbuckle just to the drivers side of the...

+1 on seatbelts. Don’t power wash them. Mine cleaned up nice with a couple of successive soaks in dish detergent water and a pass with a soft bristled brush.

That missing cover is not your problem. It’s just cosmetic, no sealing. Water routinely flows through that rain channel. IIRC there are ~12 roof rack bolt holes in the roof, each one a potential leak. If water is getting in at the spot you point...

Dark green and silver are the two nicest colors for a 100, IMO. Great find. Lose the running boards, you’ll have an instant “lift.” One of other reasons is that the leading edge of the running boards catches and holds literally pounds of mud and...

Was thinking the OP may eventually get to the seat belts, which, if mold is an issue, are probably a horror show. Unplugging the pretensioner squib would throw a code, no? I’m honestly kind of jealous looking at this project. Landing a nice rig...

You’ll get ABS codes if you disconnect any of the system before disconnecting the battery, but in an early truck like yours the codes in an otherwise functional can be DIY cleared with a paper clip and a couple of wires at the engine bay...

Following this. I have the identical issue. Leaking sunroof surround - help troubleshoot? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/leaking-sunroof-surround-help-troubleshoot.1361489/ Let’s distinguish between the sunroof rubber WEATHERSTRIP SEAL...

I recently lubed the u-joints and driveshaft splines (all grease points in the F & R shaft assemblies). Pumped in grease until it started to ooze from the spider ends and the driveshaft joints. I may add a little more to the driveshaft since I...

Going back to the ‘Mud well for more wisdom. I’ve renamed the thread appropriately. I think I have 2 unrelated issues: 1) loose DSF wheel (wiggles a little when pushed at 12 and 6 o’clock). That’s very likely a bad or badly tensioned bearing...

I've post on wheel bearing service, in many threads. Some can be found in my master thread link, found in signature line below. I've also short videos on key points. I don't have and end to end video, which would be very long. Following every...

Awesome! I hear you have a long thread in this topic, @2001LC ?

I’m tackling the loose wheel issue first, since I believe that’s likely a loose or worn wheel bearing - correct me if I’m wrong. If the growl goes away: both problems solved. If not, I’ll investigate next likely candidates. Tell me about the...

How do we feel about the Timken bearing sets? Toyota OEM bearings I see are marked Timken.

I buy only the thick ones, and grind them down to size. I rarely use a different thickness, but you are correct, there are varying thickness to compensate for the stack up. They aren't the critical component, the nut(s) is(are). They're just...

2001LC has a huge hub rebuild thread, I'd check that out, he explains in great detail the snap rings. Short of it is, if I'm repacking, I use the same one, not even a new one, never had an issue. If I'm replacing the bearings and races I have 2...

One more: I was planning to have new snap rings on hand, but Uncle T sells them in 6 different thicknesses. Should I buy the same thickness I have currently, or is the correct thickness determined by the stack-up of any new parts I install? I...

The bearing cup, rollers and cone should be bright and shiny with no discoloration or surface deformation whatsoever. The cage should also be intact with no visible deformation. Yes, you have to clean the bearings to inspect them. Use mineral...
