    Stolen CATs

    Progressive. They are running cat replacements on Toyotas every day now as the Prius cats are expensive. I mentioned on another reply, the insurance simply sees it as random vandalism and don't seem concerned if someone is caught. The guy told me like when cars get keyed, it's rare someone is...

    Stolen CATs

    The shop simply claims they know nothing about it. It's a long story but the truck was in and out of that fab shop a year. Front and back bumpers, swingout, extra battery, UCAs, Shocks, torsion bars, Diff drop and rear heavy springs. He has all kinds of friends that borrow his shop too. he can...

    Stolen CATs

    So my truck went into a muffler shop up here in the mountains of NC where I live for a new muffler and came out MISSING THE OE CATS and a couple of aftermarket CATS were welded in (there should be TWO on each side). As a result I get the code P0420. The issue is that the code turns off EVERY...

    Finally! Phase 1 of Project Complete - Back from Fab Shop

    I am sure it was from the time I moved up to the house I live in and was just letting my wife (now ex) load the trailer without watching. The guy that built my rig said I must have REALLY overloaded it somehow. Don't worry about your welds, look at the hack job done throwing this muffler and...

    Finally! Phase 1 of Project Complete - Back from Fab Shop

    So I started out nearly 10 years ago with my LC 100 with a dream and simply never had the dollars or time to really invest into what I wanted to do. Then I was headed into divorce so that is never going to happen. Then some person smacked the back of my truck while parked at a light. The...

    Duel Exhaust on a 100 series?

    Anyone put duel exhaust on their LC 100? My fabricator is also a muffler shop and since my custom setup with the winch now in the spare tire well required moving the resonator and tail pipe he recommended a muffler that would fit up tighter in the body (current hangs way down) for clearance...

    Build Advice

    I like the trailer idea. That is where I am likely taking it when finances allow. I have three kids so i don't think we can all fit in the LC WITH CAMPING GEAR without one.

    Build Advice

    I live in the mountains and many of the roads are quite curvy. I have REALLY worried about that 150 lbs on the roof with maximum leverage on your center of gravity a bit. I would actually like to hear move about people's experiences with the RTTs if you care to share. My lift was 4" on back...

    Build Advice

    So after a long stretch at the Fabrication shop my rig has has a number of updates. Amazingly it was all courtesy of some guy that creamed my back bumper and lower hatch. I bought a lower hatch the same color, called the paint close enough, replaced the broken tail lights and went to the fab...

    Steering Rack Replacement, What's the Latest Word?

    My truck is in a fab shop getting a lift and front and back winch bumpers...Yes I am broke. It's an OME 4" heavy spring lift in the back and OME torsion bars and shocks all around. My concern is my rack. It holds power steering fluid perfectly, no known leaks. Put it drooping on a rack and a...

    Need Build Advice

    I have been working though a series of unfortunate situations and I am trying to get a build done. The sad truth is that due to a life situation I had to pre-pay a fab shop ($1,200 back, $800 front) to build my front and back bumpers. I have offered more actually, the issue is just getting...

    LED Tail Light Assy Issues - Brake lights always on

    2004 LC, I probably need to look at it again. The back LEFT corner light was smashed up a bit, perhaps there is an incorrect ground or it's simply wired wrong. One side is set up where the plug simply was plugged in and the other side the socket was smashed so the wires had to be connected.

    LED Tail Light Assy Issues - Brake lights always on

    I bought a set of tail-light assemblies last year and thought all was well. They way they are set up your tail lights are LED, and the reverse and tail lights are simply a matter of re-mounting your previous lights. The issue is that while the lights come on when I turn on my lights, or hit my...

    DIY: 2004 Multi Function Display (MFD) PIN 60 Repair

    Amazing! Thank You! Thank You! I did this in like 30-40 minutes. I bought a butane soldering iron, it came with a fine tip. I put a pair of pliers on the board to steady the tip, I did not even know for sure if it flashed. Put it all back together and it ALL WORKS! Ha!! Thanks again, you missed...
