    What is this sound?

    Place your bets! I’ve got a dollar on a deadmaus

    What is this sound?

    HVAC related? (Smoltz beat me by a second) You don’t have AHC, so can’t be that. Is it the sound of money leaving your wallet? I hope not…

    Should I change the timing belt?

    Interesting to see people claiming the 2UZ is an interference engine in this thread, but every other thread I’ve seen claims it is NOT. Mine is at 230,000 and belt hasn’t been done since 90,000. I’m not terribly worried. I met a Tundra owner the other day who has a side business dealing in...

    Lseats - What's the Deal?? Very Disappointing.

    Yeah,I wouldn’t send mine to a company with the rep these guys have. Must not be a wrecking yard in their part of the world. Making ones they KNOW don’t fit the USA 100 series and selling them here is just plain stupid.

    Lseats - What's the Deal?? Very Disappointing.

    Too bad there aren’t any US spec armrests anywhere in the world they could take a patter from. Especially not in the USA, where this company is based...

    What can/will the LX470 tow "Really"...

    Tow dolly as in just the front wheels off the ground with no tongue weight? You’ll have no problems with that behind a 100.

    Cross-country Motorhome + LX470 Adventure

    I have 9 trailers in my yard, and flat towed a CJ7 all over the western side of the USA, so I’m no stranger to it. I just hold my 100 as something that would be very expensive to fix if I screwed up flat towing. I know more than one person who has incurred major damage flat towing modern...

    Cross-country Motorhome + LX470 Adventure

    Where did you get the “how to” info for flat towing the 100? I spoke to Christo about the time he spent doing that, but I’ve remained skeptical about possible trans/transfercase damage. Do you run the 12v + straight to the battery or through a relay of some sort? I kind of gave up on flat...

    What's your investment into your UZJ100?

    I got rid of a vehicle with a $700 / month payment, so if you think about it, I could dump $8,000 per year into mine and still be ahead! The bonus is, I far prefer my ‘99 to the 2011 I dumped, and it had OME suspension and F&R lockers! I have not kept track of total spent, but I really don’t...

    Lseats - What's the Deal?? Very Disappointing.

    It seems like we should change the thread title to “L Seat: Crappy C/S, but great value product “... And since the question has been asked dozens of times, is there a consensus on color? From what I’ve read here, it seems to stack up like this: LX tan best option is “Bisque” LC tan best...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    How are you applying the Meguiars? I have a Makita 7” polisher I was going to use. I need to knock some oxidation off the red ‘89 4Runner I bought. It’s got to have a nice shine on it so it looks good getting scratched up on hunting and fishing forays!

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Do tell!? I had to take mine in to the dealer to get the windshield replaced (again!) after the dealer screwed up the instal the first time. I took it to Toyota so I would have it done “properly”, but it leaked like a sieve right on top of the ECU. I will be having the service manager...

    Builds Roy's 1998 FZJ105R Build

    Nope, definitely not quite as good, but if you are shopping for local parts etc, it’s a whole lot more local than 99% of us on here!

    Builds Roy's 1998 FZJ105R Build

    Thats a beauty 105! If you aren’t already a member, have a look at LCOOL. It’s a great resource for you as well.

    Got a repair estimate from a dealership...

    Ive had Moog trackbars fail safety inspections brand new and freshly installed. They were decent in years past, but not so much anymore. For all your steering and suspension components, I’d check with Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters before buying anywhere else. He has all the 555 BJs etc in stock...

    Got a repair estimate from a dealership...

    In the words of Yoda “no try grasshopper*, only do”. Based on past input from you on the service dept, I’d speak only directly with the general manager or “dealer principal” (owner and guy answerable to Toyota). If you get no satisfaction from either of them, I’d take it up with Toyota USA...

    Got a repair estimate from a dealership...

    Nobody asked for YOUR location, just the dealer name. People drive 50-100 miles to go to a dealer, so sharing the name of a crappy service dept doesn’t mean hoodlums are going to burgle you or steal your 100. (Not trying to be a dick, just pointing out a fact). The “welds” on your exhaust are...

    8th Annual 100s in the Hills *July 12-17 Silverton, Colorado*

    I’m assuming you mean 100 watts. That should be plenty of power. We did a 3 week trip through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah last fall with a single 100 w panel and I didn’t pull out our generator once. It is fantastic to have solar on your camper or trailer. The only time I use the generator...

    RV Tow Question

    You’d have to ask the government agency that makes policy. DOT in most areas I’d guess. I think the rationale is that trailers are subject to different load forces and conditions, and that ST or trailer service tires are built and tested for that. The problem is, not everyone is willing to...

    RV Tow Question

    Just be aware that in many jurisdictions it is illegal to run LT tires on trailers. ST is the only “legal” option. I would check the laws where you live, and where you plan to travel to. It’s unlikely at best that you’d ever get checked, but it’s good to know where you stand. Extended...
