That's a great shot, other than the extra vehicles in the background it looks like something out of the Toyota factory literature!

Thank you for taking the time to post this thread and share your adventure, this was awe inspiring! As much thought as I put into traveling in my 25-yr old 100 series and here you are CRUSHING IT in an FJ40...kudos!!!

That's going to be epic! I went to the very first Cruise Moab, more years ago than I care to admit, drove to Moab from Washington DC and back with a small convoy of great Cruiser people. Did the drive back STRAIGHT, 34 hour drive with a busted truck! I'd like to make it to the event at least...

Seems over-priced in the current market. From that part of the country, DETAILED underbody pictures are a must or it could turn into a problem.

Once you get your stuff sorted out, I want to see better pictures of that cargo tray mounted to the front, that looks like a great solution for hunting trips! I have one that mounts to the back but the visibility is terrible, last year I lost a pig on a rough ranch road and had to backtrack to...

Those look cool, I think they'll look great on a white 100 with the right color trim/accessories.

I hope your wife is OK! I'd part it out, looks like a lot of great parts from the firewall back. 100s are not THAT rare, most shops won't even look at it to fix it, and the ones that do are going to charge you an arm and a leg to do it.

I don't think those match the wheels, or is it just me? I think those are for a different set of OEM wheels.

I think the wisdom of the gang is spot on, your truck is very tall in the front. I just measured mine, sitting at 20.75" on OME torsion bars. I'd start there and see if you see/feel any improvements. When I first installed the suspension kit on my truck I cranked the torsion bars to even out the...

I've thought about looking them up, but they probably wouldn't care, it's clear this was just a commuter vehicle for them!

This was an experiment that DIDN'T work. I bought 200 series armrests from One Stone because they looked like they could be adapted to the 100. The only come in black, so I tried the SEM vinyl paint others have had success with. Unfortunately, the rubber is too soft and flexes too much for the...

make sure to use a shop vac on those hoses before you install the new Ts, there's a pretty good chance that there is plastic debris from the old ones inside those hoses, especially since you were driving. My strong recommendation is metal option.

D'OH! Edited, it was 70K miles! If it had been 70 miles I'd have saved it in climate-controlled storage and sold it in 2021 at the height of the post-pandemic madness!

Sorry to hear about your troubles. If you're in the Austin area, and want me to check it out, bring it over to my house (I live in Round Rock), I'm not a mechanic but I know 100s and I can check it out for you, plus you can drive both of my 100s (two different suspension setups) so you can...
