100 Series General Tech and Classifieds

[G-Cat]

I'd take gold before red/maroon/purple and any 100 Series green. It is on my no-buy list, though.

Mine is gold. I like it because it can go weeks without a bath and still looks clean.

I must be the only one that likes the 100 series green. I thought DNP's looked great.

Tell Trey I can get him a gold emblem kit also if it doesn't have it already.

I went to the dealer in Metarie after purchasing my first 80 to remove the gold and the parts manager called it the "de-spook" kit.

While the parts guys at Toyota may not "recommend" changing the 6 heater hoses with the Ts, I'd still do it. On the three vehicles where I've changed these, two of them had hoses that were "less than optimal." If the Ts are old enough / bad enough to be an issue, (a) you also have to be concerned about losing parts of the crumbling Ts down into the heater system, (b) you gotta figure the hoses can't be great after that much time, and (c) since two of the heater hoses are connected directly to the heater core, it's better to cut those off rather than tugging them / twisting them and risk damaging your heater core (causing a leak.)

It's a little extra money (around $100 for 6 hoses and 2 Ts), but I think it's worth it........Just my $0.02

My old 2003 that went to Oxford had the heater hose blow. Matt's wife was driving it and she drive it home

Thankful Oxford is tiny. No dead motor
