    Differential replacement question

    I'm with the general consensus, unless they're showing you pinion slop, demonstrating noise or showing metal shavings in the gear oil, I would NOT take them on face value. Plenty of high-mileage 100s with intact front diffs (including mine, with 250K+ and regular trail use).

    CruiserBerg's 100 Build

    I would spend some money on a set of sidebars, a lift and more aggressive tires will likely get you into rougher spots! :)

    1965 FJ45LV to 2002 LX470

    Great pictures! I miss Phoenix *every day*, the ability to go out and explore without driving hours and hours was something I enjoyed a lot when I lived there! I love Texas, but damn, it's 8+ hours in any direction to get out of the state and the amount of explorable public land in the state is...

    Dedicated "tool" set

    100% on the JIS screwdrivers, that was a game-changer for me. Also agree on carrying enough socket extensions. A few additional recommendations from my own tool kit: 1. A brass drift to use on cone washers 2. A strap wrench 3. a small extractor kit

    100 Series Lift Reliability

    I have a slightly different perspective, perhaps because I have two '99 UZJ100s that I can compare. My "war machine" had a full OME suspension change back in 2008 (so going on 16 years and 180K miles of roads and trails all over the US), including a Slee diff drop kit but OEM UCAs. Since then...

    Diagnose this sound ! (:

    In my experience, creaking sound up front usually from control arm bushings (as @BullElk pointed out), but it could be your CV joint if it's been exposed and ingested dirt/sand/water. Sounds like you're already on the right path...any chance you have access to a lift to check? I was shocked by...

    Opinions and install - Winch to stock front end suspension w/ ARB Bumper 3413050 98-02

    I think the extra weight off a sensibly-sized winch with rope instead of cable is well worth the peace of mind knowing that you have a self-recovery alternative. I've had winches on Land Cruisers for 30+ years and although I've probably only needed them a couple of dozen times, in most cases it...

    Steering Wheel Rewrap

    As I understand it, it's an issue for 2016-2021 models and Toyota has even issued a recall in other markets (not in NA).

    Steering Wheel Rewrap

    I went a different direction on our 2016, I ordered a PSV replacement steering wheel from Australia that eliminated the stupid wooden section on the top of the steering wheel. Super nice quality wheel and the center section and controls from the original wheel fit perfect.

    Fridge (and accessory) recommendations

    Not a 200 but I've had my Engel now for 20 years and it stays in the truck full-time. I recently reintalled the power cable using a 3D printer cable track to keep it from getting pinched/kinked on trips (it had happened a few times). I'm a big "buy it once" kind of guy so I would avoid the...

    Spilled milk (center seat middle row)

    I bought a 100 series in Colorado whose previous owner indulged liberally in what is a legal substance in his state, and must have done so with the AC on and the windows up. When I picked up the (otherwise mint condition) truck, I couldn't figure out if the guy ran a skunk breeding operation, or...

    The MUD 100 series Photos thread

    I've been running 35s for two years with no significant detrimental impact to CVs. I definitely would benefit from regearing the transfer case (10% overdrive) and that's in the works. I haven't seen a huge benefit from the 35s, to be honest, other than I love the way they look. Trailwise, I was...

    We had a blast! Christmas Mtn was the highlight of the weekend, hard to believe that's in Texas. Enjoy your trip!

    The MUD 100 series Photos thread

    Spent the weekend with two buddies exploring Big Ben National Park. We did over 100 miles on dirt roads and climbed Christmas Mountain, which was a highlight of the weekend. The old girl rolled 1.200+ miles with zero issues! Also, this was my first trip into a remote area with the LRA auxiliary...

    Paint codes for 1985 BJ70 Canadian sold trucks

    Canada-spec BJ70s only came in three colors, I think. Black, Silver, and that metallic beige, which I believe is the same color available on 85-87 US-spec FJ60s. Take a look at 4E8 and see if that's what you're looking for.

    Spotted another early UZJ100 at the local QT and had to grab a quick shot. That's my Land Cruiser's original color (Imperial Jade Mica)!
