I've started to learn to wrench/DIY beyond basics on my 100 series. It makes it easier to stomach repair costs when buying new OEM parts and let's me build up my tool set. It's quite satisfying completing a job myself, with the benefit of knowing it was completed without taking shortcuts/cheap...

BTW does anyone have experience with the shim kit from cruiserteq? https://cruiserteq.com/caliper-hardware-kit-fits-1-1998-2007-100-470-front-applications-br09807k/ Ordered the same OEM parts from my toyota dealer but it's twice the price

On the third weekend of doing this job since I order tools or parts as I feel like after inspecting (first time working on my lc brakes) and it's my weekend vehicle so I can afford going slow, and sometimes I just get stuck lol Important for getting races out (in case you want to put in new...

That place has a very similar listing every time, shiny and waxed, with a cheap basket on top and blacked out wheels. And the listings stay up for months because of the price.

where did you end up finding that? that’s basically everything I’ve been looking for in a 100 series since January- 06+, around 150k miles, and priced around mid to upper teens.

is the truck coming with you?

Rolled back/scam listing

It’s the same guy that rolls back odometers. If you ask for a carfax he’ll send you a picture of an edited car fax printed on paper.

It’s always the same guy that seems to make a killing reselling average, rusty examples that look slightly refurbished. Not sure if those guys bidding realize they can get the same thing from most dealerships.
