Well written write up Taylor! As we’ve nearly concluded in our diagnosis together, you are zeroing in on the problem. I’ll let others chime in here too, being that’s what you are asking for. We should mention two other signs of PO abuse/neglect. The T Case fill plug is completely stripped so...

What is up yall? After reading through practically every thread on here and YotaTech I decided to give it a try to remove the pan by just lifting the engine, and subsequently disconnecting one of the tie rod joints at the idler arm. About 10-12 years ago there was A LOT of discussion about how...

As pertaining to 80 series factory switch. Here's how I did mine on the 2000 100. Not the best vid, but covers the gist of it.

Kurt will likely need your diffs for a few days. So Cruiser Outfitters gives you the option to have them setup cores that they have on hand, then you just exchange them for yours when you pick them up, for an additional small fee (around $150 more per diff iirc). Either way, its still a day or...

I'm quite certain no one would ever install a diff drop kit if they hadn't installed a suspension lift. The reason they are beneficial is because when you install heavier duty torsion bars, and crank them up to get the height you want, you are changing the angles of the CV joints. If you had...

Thanks. With the already enormous weight distribution hitch installed into the receiver, I can't imagine adding more leverage out the back when towing through any practical means. And the tongue on the RV isn't able to be modified. It would seem that if I install a nice double swing out rear...

Closest experience I had was when my upper ball joint failed and the entire spindle dislocated, pulling the inner CV joint apart. So I installed the SPC uppers and set to rebooting that CV because it only had 25K miles on it maybe. I never got the vibes out of it, with Toyota boot kit, and I ran...

Triple locked here on the 100. After years and years, running 315's under geared with stock gears, I finally switched to 4.88's for the sake of towing my RV this past summer, and whilst I was at it I had Cruiser Outfitters set up the ARB's in both diffs. Have only needed to use them once, and...

Following. I tried to just pull the whole motor assembly out to lube it up a few months back, then I discovered the jammed "cables". Decided it was going to be a much deeper project that I'd need to get back to. My "cables" had some movement, just not enough for the motor to overpower the...

This thread is probably just as good a place to ask as any. Does anyone have any experience with having one of these nice rear swing out tire carrier bumpers while towing an RV trailer? I'm concerned about the space between the tire and the RV's propane tanks & electric jack, specifically when...

Thanks MJK! Yep, those are among the "dozen" threads I read. Can you expand on what an AUX power does for the trailer, or how a brake controller sending wire works? I'm guessing that modern (or even older) brake controllers have some sort of accelerometer in them to detect and calculate the...

LMFAO!!! And then I googled it! Now I'm wiping tears from my eyes!!!!

Yes, there are a dozen excellent threads with how to's and why for's. They're super helpful. BUT! One question remains for me: What is this plug for? If not for a "Heavy Duty Towing Package" or something of the sort. My 2000 has the standard 4 flat and factory tow receiver. It's plugged in...

When you say "hose clamp" do you mean an actual hose clamp? I've had 6 CV shafts on this truck, all were OEM Toyota, none of them came with a hose clamp. As most CV's use the standard flip/bend/pound flat clamps, or the crimped with tool type, I'd be concerned that these hose clamps are culprit...

I'm working through some vibes once again on my Hundo. Hope to report back a final conclusion in the coming days. Pertaining to the driveshaft: 5 years ago when I was resolving my original vibes from lifting the truck, I was near certain it was a drive shaft problem, U joints/slip joint etc. I...
