Well I had to come down to Arizona to help the daughter buy a newer used car and I took the long way.
Turned off Hwy 40 at Ludlow CA and shot this one.

So I'm out tinkering getting the trailer hitch ready to hook up and move my daughter, and I see some scratches and paint on the back bumper. My son comes along and says, "when did you tweak your tail pipe?". We look a little closer and find that the tail pipe and resonator are bent forward...
My son's 51 Willys just received a 225 V6 transplant. It's a great little engine and runs OK, but I have that missfire on the right bank. I think I have the wrong cap on the distributor and don't trust the replacement parts.
Does anyone know if the point distributor caps had the long odd...
My 98 lost the front left at 152,000 miles and my 99 has already had the same replaced. So for a totally non-scientific poll, how many have changed which sensor?
I've made multiple answers possible so if you've replace more than one.
Here are the codes and locations as per FSM
DTC P0135...
I really should be packing up for Death Valley next week, but a package showed up while I was at work. So here's a little mod for more light from the front map lights that use a 168/194 bulb.
LED produce a brighter light at a fraction of the amperage draw and I found these units at Super...
Actually, it's not going to so much a build up as a swapping of parts.
The "With or Without Rear Diff Lock" question has been answered for me and it's just as easy to buy another with the locker.
I found a replacement for my bent frame silver 98, and have started the process of getting it...
Has anyone looked into retro-fitting a 98/99 rear diff locker into a 98/99 that did not come with one?
I need to know if the main harness has the plugs for the switch, control unit, and axle harness in place if it did NOT originally come with the locker.
I crashed my 98 and bent the...
Just got my son a 94 XCAB SR5 and it has 31's on it now. We want to do a slight lift, 2-3", but not anything crazy. I've searched and found everything from SAS to 8" total lifts. We plan on going up to 33's with 285/75-16's. It already had 4.88 gears in it so that should be fine.
I'm going to...
Well, after reading some different ideas on the Front Skid Plate? thread, I said I was diving in. And I have. But as usual, the phone ringing, people stopping by, etc...
But I did start it and here we go. First I re-thought the whole idea and put some thought into Dandon's comment about my...
Well I had replaced the left outer CV boot a while back and everything was ok until I looked and saw the inner was torn now! :doh:
Instead of replacing both boots, I cheaped out and did just the outer. That one bit me in the rear, so I decided to replace the axle, and then re-boot that one for...
First off, mine is no where near the modified rock crawler that some have built, but it’s my trailer towing/trail support/daily driver that can run some trails. And it works great for me.

Trying to gauge if this is going to fly. I've been thinking of the colored rim look for a while but I'm really not into the completely black out look. So why not ask you fellow 100 Cruiserheads out there. I've been looking at dark grays, gray, etc. when I came across this color at the local ACE...
Well for all those out there that crank up the front torsion bars and then have a leak start I've done a long term test. Mine did the normal spitting after I re-indexed the bars and cranked them up. My boots started leaking from the inner boot slightly, then a little more after time. I found...
For those that “wheel” their 100's, but love that ON road handling, I did a little comparison for OFF roading.
My son happen to moving pavers for me into the backyard from the driveway when he decided to have some Tom Sawyer fun. The next thing I know is there is a 28” tall ramp of pavers in...
Just saw this on craigslist for San Francisco area. Clean third row seats, no connection, just thought someone might need them.

I purchased Cooper Discoverer S/T's in 285/75-16 and have been pleased with them for all around driving. They DO have a hum to them and are louder than most A/T tires. On the wife scale they are "a lot louder than the other tires". But as with most aggressive tires, the CD volume cures alot...

Well thanks to Spressomon for meeting me in Markleeville and blazing trails to the banks of the Carson River. Of course when it came time to cross it, I loved his thinking, "I'll follow you anywhere". And with his 35's and 4.88's he wasn't kidding. It's a great run through...
1998 100 series stock front bumper with brace and foam pad.
Crash into that shopping cart? Tag the light pole? Somebody needs this thing out there. $150 for all the parts plus shipping, and no, the fog lights don't come with it.
Bumper face has a scratch on it left of center, see pictures...
