Be a good time for a Saturday road trip
Anybody have an idea on a starter's life? Ive changed original ones on 40s that were 30 years old which makes me think 200k aint bad BUT with all the gizmos/cranking strain on modern starters who knows.
Reading between the tea leaves, here. The new key FOB didn't fix it, huh?
@pmccraney no I think it did just curious.
If you're starting to experience ANY starter hesitation, it's prolly not long. If it turns over and won't crank, more likely the key. But if it won't turn over sometimes, call @beno. I'm on my 3rd 2UZ that had those symptoms........200K is overdue
^^^^This. 175K+ and the contacts are about done. Just like an 80, the contacts will solve the problem...but for all of the labor to get to the starter in a 100, it'd be silly not to replace the whole unit with an OE re-built from Beno.
That is a clean rig. Those seats don't look like they've seen 178k miles. That has to be typo.
Anyone had a 2nd row seat that wont lock down properly? Before i tear into it thought Id ask. A few post are out there but no conclusive fix. It looks like its stuck with the lock/claw in the closed position.
Floor catch is good, it all aligns right I can see the other catch engaging properly and its in an open position while this one is closed. Ill soak it and try some prying before I remove seat bottom to investigate spring.
Mechanism latch and spring were bent/gummed up/ mis-aligned.
Installed new headlights I had OEM bc i had them all ready. Much better. Driver side low beam was burned partially (black along inside of capsule....never seen that)
Time for SEC football!
Next week: to 49LC specialist before crawl for a few things.

So @Kaderabek is a 2 Volkswagan tdi owner and is about to get a whopper payout so he's now a 2 100 series family. Miller got his old 2004 and he just got this 1 owner 99,000 mile 2000 LX
The old fella got some orthopedic work done this week at 49 tire. A few joint replacements and some Ironman/Emu to add back some spring in its steps. Man it is nice to have a Cruiser Shop in town that has the know how, skilled mechanics, and products in stock.

Agreed...although cruiser funds are now officially depleted. Gotta sell some crap, pick some extra cash, or wait a bit. Or maybe a good ole boy that really wants to buy my bighorns for his muddin truck.
