Replaced the door rubber moulding (the ones that mount on the body) for the two front doors. A quick and easy job. My old ones are a little compressed but no tears so of anyone wants them, you can have them for free.

Truck is looking great! DId you do much with the rust underneath?

While rare, it is possible that the outer bearing was defective. I assume you also replaced the races when you replaced the bearings?

Mileage 221,504 My CV Axles have been bleeding grease for a while, but recently, they started feeling a little rough on acceleration. So it was time to R&R the axles. I chose not to take off the steering knuckle (that bugger is HEAVY) and just disconnect the upper control arm ball joint...

What a beautiful, black shining example of high quality automobile, designed and manufactured to an exacting standard, that brings joy to both the drivers and onlookers alike. The other is a POS Bentley.

Yes! You got a locker and wiring all in place. I think you can apply 12v and see if it locks!

You were looking at the Large Larry at AutoAlex, weren't you :D

If someone has swapped a pre-2000 LC rear axle, then it is possible that it has a rear locker. May be post a couple of pics for us to see?

whoa! Really like those headlights!

Also, I am pretty sure the the front tow hook was on the passenger side while the rear tow hook was on driver's side.

I disagree, there are 4 separate closed loop attachements that are used for securing the truck during transportation. Those aren't meant for dynamic loads of pulling on for recovery. You can see them highlighted in the parts diagram:

For the 100 series (I know apples and oranges) , using ethanol free gas, protecting the gas tank from the exhaust muffler/pipe and covering the gas return lines to protect from heat is usually enough to prevent the fuel from boiling over. YMMV.

Yep, all trucks got one in the front and one in the rear. You can run two on both ends if you got them. They are strong enough to pull your truck out of anything you can get stuck in. Here's my stock 98 LX buried to the frame in nasty, gooey mud. It took two two trucks (one after the other) to...

Slick top is slick! Need more info on the fender marker/turn signal light.
