    Was the design of rear AC line improved?

    Does anyone know if they redesigned the rear ac lines on 200 series or other versions to solve the problem of eventual leaks at the bracket locations that seems to eventually occur to all our vehicles. I’m asking on this forum because the 200 series guys may not know what the previous design/...

    ASFIR front skid plate install question

    I am only installing front skid and keeping the other stock skid plates. Must I remove the plastic skid plate with the two legs that project aft around transmission pan or can I leave it in place and allow the ASFIR front skid to lap over it? Also, people are recommending a longer bolt for the...

    Anybody ever changed out the AC filter Dryer on a 100?

    I think I located it on the passenger side of the condenser behind the grill. If this is it, I only see one refrigerant tube connecting on top, and on the bottom there is a plastic female hex plug the purpose of which is a mystery to me. Is replacing this component easy? I am fixing to...

    Has the rust problem been addressed?

    With all the discussions of undercarriage rust on our vehicles, tundras and tacomas, and frame replacement programs on some, has this been mitigated through changes in steel or coatings? Put another way, If I purchased a new 200 today and kept it in the snow belt, would the same thing happen...

    Rear Hatch key inactive-2005 100

    Just noticed that when I put any of my keys in the rear hatch keyhole the key turns the lock cylinder but nothing locks or unlocks, anywhere. The locks — including the rear hatch one— all function normally when activated by the remote or the other door locks. I checked that rear child lock is...

    Anybody ordered and installed OEM shocks?

    Ordering parts from Toyota dealers can be tedious because sometimes each bolt and nut for a job is "a la carte" and ordered as a different part number. I am doing front and rear shocks and it appears that the bushings and mounting washers are included when you put in the part number for the...

    Haze on headlights

    I have an 05 with a very slight but noticeable haze on the headlight lenses. It is nothing close to the cloudiness I see on aged plastic headlights of some cars, but I still would like to see it gone. Glass cleaner doesn't remove it. These headlight lenses feel like glass, so I assume there...

    Tribute to the OEM Panasonic Battery

    I don't know if I set some kinda record, but today I replaced the original 27F Panasonic battery that came on my 05 100 series purchased in 8/04. I live in PA. It still turned the car over and ran fine with temperature in the teens around here, but it was starting to get a little sluggish on...

    Do people get alignment after wheel bearing repack?

    Planning on having bearings repacked and wondering whether it is advisable to have alignment done afterwards, or whether the two things are completely independent, making it unnecessary.

    Unusual message on startup

    I have an '05 100 series that has been pretty solid. It started up fine this morning, but I saw something on the screen right after starting I had never seen before. It was a message with a picture of a cd/dvd disc and a bar graph that worked its way across the screen over a few seconds. The...

    Anybody ever looked under the cowl in a 100 series?

    Can someone educate me so I can understand whether I should be concerned? I just had the windshield replaced in a 100 series. I note that the rubber weatherstrip at the bottom of the glass is raised up about 2-3 mm from the glass surface for about 6 inches at the middle of the windshield. It...
