Yes. It's not too bad. Nothing that can't be washed .

LOVE IT! What mods have been done to the 100?

Not too much. The car is not actually modded for wheeling in the mud but for our Sahara journeys:

- OME865 in the rear, cranked tbars
- koni shocks
- 32" MT/R on 6.5JR16 toyota steel rims (5x)
- spare tire mod (+1.5")
- safari snorkel
- alu skid plate (the rear part - the part between front wheels is still plastic)
- "sliders" - not really for sliding, but can be used for lifting with Hi-Lift)
- pin 7 mod
- ABS mod

Can you share some pics and information about your skid plate?

 

[SamoL]

Well - yesterday it was too dirty. Today it's clean, but it's too dark . I'll take some pictures and post them as soon as possible.
But there is nothing special about it: it's a 6mm alu plate with holes that replaces the flat rear skid plate, with a steel bar for reinforcement under it.

6.5JR16 toyota steel rims (5x)

Why the heck can't we get these rims here in the States? I love the look! Sure you don't want to find a few dozen of them and ship 'em over?

Oh yeah, that snorkel must be bolted on quite well Looks like you have your tow strap lashed to the snorkel...

These rims are not very cheap in Slovenia (but they are in Germany). Shiping to the USA would be too expensive. Single rim weights 17kg. Here in Europe we are able to get a spare part also for cars that were not for sale in Europe. Is this not possible in the States? Go to your dealer with a Toyota part # of this rim and I think he shoud be able to get it (not in two days, but eventualy).

I had the tow strap inside the car (the pasenger window was holding it). If would I catch a branch with it it would be expensive...
But if you get stuck in the mud, this is the easiest way of getting unstuck - you just thow the towstrap to someone who is not stuck
I must get a better towpoint in the front - I stil have the original hook, and the tow strap falls off too easily.

Nope, Toyota likes to provide next to no options on their vehicles and getting part #s that don't show up as US parts are nearly impossible to obtain However, if you HAVE a Toyota part number you can provide I can start the annoying calls to Toyota USA

Part # is: 42601-60590
