    Outside Edge Wear on Passenger Side Front Tire / Side to Side Wiggle

    Pick one possible failure point, investigate it thoroughly, ask questions here and either confirm that's the problem, or move on to the next possible failure point. Alignment might be off Bearings might be loose. Outer tie rod end might be shot/loose Lug nuts were loose Upper ball joint shot...

    Outside Edge Wear on Passenger Side Front Tire / Side to Side Wiggle

    You could dig into the bearing theory. If you do the pull test around the clock on your wheel and it has the same play no matter where you are pulling, then maybe that is loose bearings. To confirm you could get into here and do more pulling and you'll see right away if the whole hub assembly is...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Did a few things this past weekend. Tie rod inner/outer, ball joint upper/lower from Cruiser Outfitters, and front shocks from Toyota. OReillys ball joint press kit barely worked, but enough to get it done in the driveway. 246,000 miles. Needed to buy two bigger wrenches and a pipe wrench for...

    Toyota Dealer March 2022 Major Discounts

    I got all my order early June - 3 boxes worth. I emailed Eric twice, he emailed me back very quickly both times, once late evening which I didn't expect. I realize that's not the same as others, but just to share at least some orders are shipping and Eric has been responsive (at least in come...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Added coolant to reservior, replaced both headlights with Toyota housings, installed two new license plate light lens/covers, with all new bulbs. Fixed front bumper cover where all 6 lower attachment points were broken off, it was flopping around. 3 of them had broken bolts that I had to drill...

    Toyota Dealer March 2022 Major Discounts

    I got shipping confirmations yesterday. I ordered on the last day of the sale, a LOT of stuff coming so I guess it is good I was patient.

    VSC overly sensitive, activating during mild turns in normal driving: problem finally solved

    I had same issue when I first bought mine, it was super annoying. Replaced steering rack bushings, a little better, but completely went away after front sway bar bushings and end links were replaced. It was very noticeable how much it helped.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Put in rear lift supports, sweet Jesus, so nice they lift all the way up by themselves now. Replaced stripped screws in the rear view mirror so my windshield tint can get done properly, Kenwood unit in the dash and sub in the back, with a nicely done install and wiring job by local shop.

    Didn't seem to have front drive when bogged

    Yeah, I've had to drive a bit for it to lock/unlock - don't rush that or your will be regretting big time.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Put on a couple of missing covers on the under skid plates. Used my new axel puller from a fellow mudder to put on some new thicker snap rings on both sides. Went from E to D sizes (I think that's what it was). Zero gap between snap ring and axel stub on both sides, nice. When I first repacked...

    Yeah, that job sucks! . I don't know why, but that was the job I hated the most doing so far.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Got the transmission rebuilt at a local shop for $2,800. He usually puts in a new or rebuilt torque converter but there wasn't any available so he sent mine out to a specialist to get rebuilt. Refilled with Toyota ATF. Everything took a long time, due to parts and shipping issues because of...

    Any thoughts or reviews? - Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure With Kevlar

    They were on my LC when I bought it about 3 years ago, and were almost new. So I didn't pick them, but they've been excellent. They are not LT or E rated, something less, just says standard load on the sidewall. Dry pavement - quiet, smooth, great ride and traction. Happy with ride anywhere...

    Sticker shock

    Make sure you understand the condition of your purchase before you commit. And the costs of fixing all those problems. If you overpaid for the purchase, then regret will set in when you find what needs to be fixed. Learn how to DIY, or budget for someone else to do the work if you have the...

    Drive Flange Studs

    I ordered this from the local dealership - not sure why some are silver and others aren't. Was purchased maybe two months ago.

    Drive Flange Studs

    You don't need to jam them in there with massive force. The nuts are only torqued to something like 24ftlbs. So if you double nut and use the outer nut to apply your wrench, or torque wrench, you only need something in the 30-40ftlb range. Once seated the stud, I used two wrenches to break the...
