    Alignment needed?

    Shocks do not affect suspension geometry. If you did anything to the control arms, ball joints, or tierod ends, I'd say yes. You can get one, but it's a waste of money if you just did shocks.

    Unknown squeak after turning off the engine...

    Mine does that... It's the antenna retracting.

    Yet another A-TRAC thread ... but A-Track on a Triple Locked 100 Series

    Would a faulty wheel speed sensor cause ATRAC to engage/light up?

    How widespread was the 100 series front diff issue? Did Toyota ever fix it?

    I made a smooth tooth ring gear on my last outing, luckily the damage was just to the teeth of the gears and didn't crack the diff or anything

    Need advice - keep AHC or AHC delete?

    My truck rode great with AHC...until it didn't. I was 10 miles in the woods when one corner decided to ride the bump stop (after cycling the key and letting it rest for a while, it started to act right). Another time I was in the mountains and another corner decided to be higher than the others...

    My cruiser is sagging on on front left

    Exactly! Your search skills are better than mine. I've seen a few on here break on the adjusting end as well.

    My cruiser is sagging on on front left

    If you do determine that an adjustment is needed, spray PB Blaster or some penetrant on the adjusting bolt at least a day ahead of time. When I change out my suspension for the Ironman kit, I applied antiseize to the bolt to ease cranking the torsion bars where I wanted them. I suspect...

    My cruiser is sagging on on front left

    The torsion bar on that side is either worn out, or, although unlikely, it just was never adjusted properly. I have also seen a torn mount where the torsion bar meets the lower control arm (there are a few threads in the forum regarding this)

    If you have AHC, you have hydraulic adjustable suspension, which would absolutely cause that. It's great when it works*. Do you have a dial and buttons near your gear shifter?

    Options for removing and covering - overhead-mounted DVD player?? UPDATE #19 - Done!

    I had a big hole in mine. Found an overhead light on ebay, but still didn't solve the hole issue. I ended up taking a thin piece of sheet metal the same shape as the old dvd player and screwing it to he headliner

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Are you running a differential drop? I am installing the same skid this weekend.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Ordered an Eaton E-locker for the rear, Victory 4x4 sliders (I have not seen anyone on here with them yet), & ASFIR full skids. My wife did not resist at all, actually encouraged...and that terrifies me.

    Heated Seats - Normal Operation?

    Mine would cycle... until the upholstery shop that recovered the seats did something, now they dont work at all

    Does anyone have a clue what is happening here...

    Is the shifter popping forward to where you just pull it back into drive? Or are you having to do something else to get it back into drive?

    My old reliable 01 land cruiser with 130,000 miles would not crank this morning

    Is your immobilizer light by the radio staying on? If so, there's the problem. There is a guy on here... Medtro is his handle, who makes a fix for it. He has a long write up somewhere
