Finally got the truck back after getting an extensive amount of work done: New front LCA's + #2bushing Replaced the tired OME Nitrochargers with Dobinsons IMS Replaced E-brake cabling Install new hardware for the Slee Steel Belly Skid Plate Replace the bearings and seals on the Slee Swingout...

I am totally stealing the idea with the ARB bumper floods conversion!

Fixed that for you :rofl:

Agreed, he already dropped some serious dough on that SAS, 35's would feel too....pedestrian.

Great story. I wouldn't mind buying a '16+ 200 when the soccer mom/dad cars start hitting the used section in a few years, likely having never seen a dirt road in their life. However, the upcoming switch to hybrid powertrains gives me a reason to wait. Aside from the high maintenance...

Good to know! Looks like i'll be ordering a new set of snap rings and hub flanges now and hope for the best.

I'm trying to eliminate the driveline thunk as well on our100 (99 with 185k). Curious, how did your CV splines look? Considering how worn the hub flanges were I wonder if it did a number on the CV splines as well. Hope you finally solved the thunk on your truck!

Bump, price dropped.

https://sleeoffroad.com/tech-zone/100-series-newbie-guide/ is a good start.

New shop just opened up in the La Crescenta area called RS Automotive Works. Richard (the shop owner and primary mechanic) is a stand up guy, super thorough, fair and transparent. I've used him for a couple jobs on my 99 already and I'm 100 percent going to have him do my timing belt job and...

From Slee's website: The SOF2RH spring is designed to give 2″ of rear lift on a 100 Series Land Cruiser /LX470 with additional 250lbs of weight added to the rear of the vehicle. Free Height Driver Side – 455mm Passenger Side – 465mm I swapped these out for OME 864's since I needed greater...

While I had my 99 (182k miles) on a lift to get my swaybar bushings swapped out, the shop had me look at the control arm bushings that were visibly cracking and worn out. Once we had them off the car to replace them with Trail Tailor upper and lowers, it was apparent that they were well past...

I've had the Mishimoto all alum rad in the truck for a few months and a couple thousand miles and after having a little trouble burping the system, its been rock solid. However, the shop that did the install apparently had a helluva time putting it on and looks like they had to hack the s**t...

Enter your VIN on Partsouq and look at the category power train /chassis tab and youll find the Brake Tube and Clamp category for the diagram and part numbers of the brake system.

Judging by your photo, I think the Slee SS brake kit is only going to be part of the solution. I have a feeling you might need to replace that hardline and the fittings where the slee kit would interface to. If you don't wrench much, I think it would be best to let a shop you trust do this...
