You don’t happen to have a hose kit for all the damn hoses that come off of the air box by chance? At 291k I think it’s about time.

I’m currently sorting through them all here on my desk. That kit should be up soon but it may be another month before I have them in stock (confirming a few last fitment details)

More 100 kits coming today!

Here are some tools added yesterday:

Toyota JIS screwdriver kit (replaces old blue vessel screwdriver kits) & Toyota ball-peen hammer

Toyota short JIS screwdriver & Patch's personal favorite snap ring pliers

Added 100 Series CV axle snap ring kits to the site as well. These come in six (6) different thicknesses and are non-reusable parts in my experience (they often bend or warp).

Coming soon:
100 Series Front wiper arm & blade kits
100 Series weatherstrip kits (for doors)
100 Series door limiter replacement kits
100 Series 98-02 charcoal canister et al vacuum line kits

HI Patch,

the cv seal tool will work for both sides right?

This is more of a two-part explanation of a common problem found on the 100 Series rear doors accompanied by solutions to this problem and an upgrade for the 1998-2002 owners.

1. The 1998-2002 door check problem (rear door carnage/failure)

The old check assemblies had a steeper 'ramp' or slope to them which, in my opinion, may be the cause for so many rear door failures on the 98-02 models.

Combine a steep grade with old age, dried up grease, and lack of use (many owners may never have opened the rear doors but once in a blue moon) and the perfect storm emerges to create problems such as these (see photos below):

Above, left: 1999 Lexus LX470 rear door sheet metal cracked beyond prevention
Above, right: 1998 Lexus LX470 rear door showing early signs of cracking (check your rear doors!!!)

It is possible to prevent further damage to the doors (seen at left) by installing the reinforcement plates I've designed (next batch expected 2 weeks from 8.16.24) but once it starts it can degrade within a matter of days!

It's the act of closing the door that puts pressure on the rollers inside of the check assembly. That pressure is transferred to the sheet metal of the door and creates stress fractures from and around the square hole in the door.

Above, left: 98-02 check assembly (68640-600xx, 68630-600xx) disassembled- observe rust on springs (Arizona truck)
Above, right: 98-02 check assembly rollers after being lubricated - some rust still present

Above: (68630-60050 superseded by 68630-60051 and 68630-60070) - observe crusty condition of the roller surface

Continued in next post...

2. Solutions and upgrades to the aforementioned problem

The 98-02 check assemblies have a steeper grade/incline of ramp than the later model 100s (see photos)

Above, left: 68630-60050 (superseded by 68630-60051 and 68630-60070) used in 1998-2002 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470
Above, right: 68630-60091 used in 2003-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470

I conjecture that by switching to the later model check assemblies, 98-02 owners will actually gain usability and reliability for their beloved 100.

Some other benefits of the later design include:

• better/more foam insulation
• ease of open & close
• cleaner appearance (plastic cover for bolt head on b-pillar)
• noise reduction upon open & close
• street cred for having read this far

Above: side-by-side comparison of the two

Here's the part where I tell you to buy my refresh/upgrade kit:

Each check assembly comes with new OEM hardware and a new OEM plastic cover for the b-pillar mount & bolt.
A full list of part numbers can always be found on CruiserPatch.com

These assemblies are fully compatible with the 98-02 Cruisers and Lexi as well as the Cruiser Patch reinforcement plates.

I get it. You're slowly trying to turn your truck in to one of the superior 03+ models.

Did someone say factory lockers are overrated?

(damnit he's onto me)

 

[cruiserpatch]

Okay, where did we leave off...

100 Series striker-mounted accessory bracket (LH only available at the moment. RH coming soon)
Early IFS 100 Series OEM rubber rack bushing (RH side)

100 Series fuel neck gasket refresh kit
100 Series rear differential pinion seal

Refreshed the door limiter reinforcement plates with the "Patch" signature laser-cut into the top of the plate. Also confirmed that these fit both 80 and 200 Series Cruisers/LX

A few more updates:

• LCA bushing removal tool kits have been delayed because the latest batch arrived with an incorrect dimension. The central hole needs to be bored out to a larger diameter (anyone know a good machinist near Atlanta, GA?)
• Got a shipment coming in on Thursday 9/26 which should restock many of the kits which are currently sold out

Prius wiper arm kits and OEM brass heater tee kits are back in stock.

While I like my old school OEM TEQ oill cap, the aluminum oil cap you have is slick! Will that be re-stocked?

 

[kuelblaz]

Any idea when LCA bushing press kit back in stock?

Any plans for UCA press kit?

Those are made by Kyle @plaidwagon - haven’t caught up with him in a minute. Any ETA on those Kyle?

Had a batch come in that were screwed up. It was my mistake- didn’t triple check my dimensions on the drawing. Just ordered another batch yesterday that should be here by the end of October at the latest

No plans for a UCA tool, no. Since so many people run aftermarket UCAs it would be for a fairly small portion of the community. I may do so eventually but have to focus on higher demand products right now.

Still working on getting the new supplier dialed in with those. They’re coming together but I don’t have a timeframe yet.

Can confirm, the oil cap is sweet and all of your friends will be jealous of it.
