    Siphoning gas from your Cruiser

    Has anybody tried to siphon gas from their 100 series? I have a gas generator and the usual gas-powered lawn tools, and would prefer to keep my spare gasoline in a 6000-pound Japanese-built container better equipped for the job than a red plastic bucket made in China. I dropped a four-foot...

    Used Oil Analysis on 2UZ-FE

    Just got my first UOA from Blackstone Labs. I pushed the oil change interval out to 8,800 miles for the first analysis to set a baseline. It's a good result, although I'll probably change this oil at about 6000 miles and do another UOA to check the iron levels. The oil is Mobil 1 5W/30...

    Anybody changed the battery in their key?

    My 99 TLC key is less and less able to open the doors, even when I'm standing right at the truck. The light in the fat part of the key is very dim on first push, and generally dies after two or three. Is this something only the dealer can do, or can I get a battery from the local drugstore? Is...

    100 Series - Headlight upgrade possibilities

    Folks - The 100 series headlights are a whole 'nother story from the 80s, and I wonder who has tried which upgrades? IMO, the stock high beams are great, so wide and bright that the low beams seem really anemic by comparison. Keeping the fog lights on all the time helps the low beams a bit...

    UZJ100 tailgate leak

    The freezing rain and sleet turned into two inches of just hard rain. So making a grocery run during a lull, I was unloading bags when I noticed a section of the cargo area carpet on the driver's side is sopping wet. :o As best I can tell, the water came in around the bottom of the lower gate...

    Missed it !!

    Darn >:( My lookout at a major Dallas dealership IMed me yesterday morning to see if I was still in the market for another truck. He said he had a local. well-maintained 1998 TLC with all options, including the rear locker, white with grey leather and 68,000 miles. They had done the 60k...

    Fiberglass protecting cover under truck

    Hmm. >:( Had my "new" '99 UZJ100 on a lift at the dealership yesterday, and had my first unimpeded inspection in strong light. Everything looked clean and tidy, :D but I noticed one bolt still holding a small bit of stiff material with an old, broken-off edge. ??? The mech said that was from...

(Family obligations, aging parents, etc. nuff said) We totaled 3511 miles round trip, on 211.4 gallons or 16.6 miles per gallon. :P The truck was lightly loaded, just spouse and supplies on the way over, a couple small pieces of...

    Slightly nose-down normal for 100-Series?

    My stock '99 UZJ100 has a slight nose-down attitude (as if looking down its nose at all of the Ranger Rovers, &nbsp:Discos, Tahoos, and Expositories in this town!). ;) Is this a normal stance for the 100 series? ??? Where should I measure ground to vehicle to check whether it really is off...

    Folks - The "D" for Drive light on the dash board display in my 99 UZJ100 is out.

Am I going to havde to tear the...

    Premium Gas in UZJ100 V-8 motors

    I saw one poster (matt?) recently say he has always used regular unleaded in his V-8 without pinging or apparent damage. Does anybody else use less than premium unleaded in their V-8? And what "octane" is premium in other parts of the country? Dallas' smog problems require all of the federal...
