Yesterday, I installed rear calipers, rotors, and pads.
I also installed a new spare tire pulley as my original was chewed up from breaking the stupid factory wheel lock off of it
A little comfort mod this weekend. Installed an 8” subwoofer in a box. Skar SDR8 dual voice coil 4 ohm sub. Wired in series to 8 ohms, running off factory amp. Much improved over the 6.5” factory sized sub.
Hell yeah, I rode today! Did the 8.3 miler and felt like Superman. Railing corners, taking no prisoners!
I don’t know if it’s the cooler weather, the spinning or planets aligning, but I’ll take it!
Dang, sweet ride.
you've been in the desert too long. I'm the opposite, when I go to Tahoe the dry weather just wrecks me. Beach weather is damp and I guess I'm accustomed to it.
More pics of riding and shït… Riding in Marin was great but the humidity and never-ending sweat was 👎👎. And nothing drying off overnight, wet bibs, etc.

Got lights and...
Framed up the basin below the water heater and pump.
Replaced the shower line that wasn't sealing, retested the water system and everything was good to go.
Good question. The dealerships use commercially available fluids The parts departments sell Toyota fluids because they are told to.
@2001LC swears by Toyota brake fluid, and he's had more 100s under the knife than most people ever will.
Hey Y'all. Just wanted introduce myself. Been lurking since 2020 after I bought my 98 LC and wish I knew about this site before I bought it lol. What I bought to be a weekend beater turned into a mechanical restoration project as some items...
3d printed a sleeve for my swing arm latch so that it can accept standard bike grips. The longer length of this makes things so much easier and prevents me from slamming my hands into the locking pin.
If I could, I would put a 100 body on a 200 drivetrain. Not because it looks better but the outward visibility is better and the 100 has a certain feel... maybe the best of all the heavy duty Land Cruisers. The 100 actually feels more solid to...
