    CV Like Clicking

    I am having trouble with my 100 Series that I assumed was a CV. However, I replaced one CV, and now the other - No change. I REALLY need to get this resolved as it's my essential work vehicle. I have attached photos here and posted a video to another site I own. Please look at the video and...

    Sudden High Mileage on my 100 Series - 80,000 Miles in a year (340K Total) - Maintenance Advice

    I have a 100 Series that I have had for 10 years. It's been a great truck and I have in the past few years built it out to add front and rear winch bumpers, and lift the truck. I have the following config: OME shocks, OME Heavy Torsion Bars, Freedom Off Road UCAs, OME Heavy Rear springs, an...

    OEM vs. After market windshield - 2003 TLC

    I want to update this thread. I went through the trouble to request and get OE Toyota Glass and it randomly cracked on the highway. I don't know it's really worth the trouble unless the insurance company will cover it.

    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...
