The difference is quite noticeable. The LED fogs just put out a wider vertical and horizontal pattern than the low beams do. You can see how much the trees are illuminated vs low and high beams. The highs push farther down the road than the fogs, but not as wide. The fogs really help seeing the...

I installed my SAE amber dual fog light kit from @BenCC and I'm very happy with the quality, his shipping speed, and customer service. All top-notch! Here's my installation notes for those who decide to do this on a LC100. Overall, it's not exactly a plug and play, but it's darn close. Even...

I recommend you re-baseline your headlights. Numerous threads on it, but safe to say, they are not properly aligned. Each housing has a left/right and up/down adjustment bolt. Here are some threads on it. What I did is use a wall, measured the distance from the ground to the center of the bulb...

Valve covers are easy to do. At the same time, check your ignition coil packs, replace any cracked ones, and install OEM spark plugs. The crank seals aren’t bad if it isn’t dripping. You won’t hurt anything by driving and monitoring. Steering rack threads abound. Check steering fluid level and...

Here’s my LC100 on FN 17”. Yeah, I know it’s not the 18” stock wheel, but this is the modified look you can get while retaining ride quality. OME2865 springs rear (~2” lift), torsion bars up 1.5” in the front. OEM shocks. No diff drops needed at this height. 33” tires. As others have said, to...

Agree on getting a Bluetooth OBD scanner. But if you can get the truck to an auto parts store, they can run the codes. It may be something as simple as a bad plug wire or spark plug. Mine did something similar when I had a bad plug. Went into limp mode. However, there are several issue that...

Let us know what you think once you do the swap. I am very happy with my OEM shocks. The PO put on KYBs and they are not the right shocks for our trucks. I think the more aggressive shocks make a lot of sense for real hard wheelin’ or high speed desert runs, none of which I do. I take mine on...

@TahoeZ, how’d you do that? I run 20-30 mile washboard roads pretty routinely and never had an issue. Did they blow the seals or did you just feel them give out?

OEM shocks. I am on 1.5" lift, 33" MT Bajas and new bushings (front/rear sway bar plus upper/lower shock). While you're at it, check your ball joints and control arm bushings. Unless you're doing high speed offroad or rock crawling, the OEM setup is hard to beat. Smooth and quiet on the...

Dustin, Thanks for the help today. A little dremel took the 20 years of grime off and they fit. Very snug. Here’s the new look. I’m super stoked!

Either the KO3s or the Baja Boss A/Ts, 285/70R17. Tough decision. Mine isn't a daily driver, but ski/snowboard, camping and adventure rig, so I don't really care about getting huge mileage out of them which is why I ruled out the Defenders. I just unpacked one wheel and took a snap. Think...

I'm super excited to get mine today! She's rocking a 1.5" lift and ready for some CO trails. I'll post pics once I get them installed.

The bolt size is M8x1.25 in case anyone needs it.

Hey all, I can’t seem to find the rear sway bar bushing bracket bolt thread & pitch. It looks like the threads on the frame are damaged and I need to recut with a tap. The Toyota bolt part # is 90119-08834. All the Toyota manual says is a 3x2x2 bolt, but that doesn’t help me. Any ideas on the...

Thanks for the info. I bought a boot kit when I first noticed the rip. I'll plan on doing the boot change and see what happens.
