Boo, that is frustrating. My 200 was leaking just after purchase, at least you'll know exactly how and when it was done and with know parts.

If they are comfortable with you supplying parts, we have an AISIN timing belt kit (with water pump and tensioner) that are ~1/2 the OE cost. We've sold a few to Toyota dealers directly :D

I HATE SLACKER WORK!

Kurt, if it was anytime but now, I'd order everything and have them install my supplied parts (they will do this, just not warranty NON-OEM DEALER SPEC parts which is 99% of what is offered out there). I'm tempted to take my 60 as well at the same time (clutch, pan, RMS..etc..) and just pick them up when work is finished....

Looks good
 
Great looking 100! Looking forward to watching your build. Can you tell me about the headlights? Where to get them and how much?
Thanks!
 
Thanks! Sent him a message
 
^ will the UltraGauge grab the tranny temp?
 
^ will the UltraGauge grab the tranny temp?

Dan it is my understanding that the "MX" model reads Trans Temp. I know a few of the FJC, Tacoma and Rover guys that bought it specifically for the Trans Temp feature.

Shows below that it does. I will play with mine once the rig gets back from the dealer.

Ultragauge
Ultragauge communicates with the vehicle's computer to capture real time vehicle data via the OBDII in order to provide a broad range of features which include:

  • Fuel Economy - Instantaneous MPG, Average MPG, Distance to Empty, Time to Empty, Fuel Used, Fuel rate, etc.
  • Engine Parameters - RPM, MPH, Engine Load, HP, Torque, Coolant Temperature, Intake pressure, and many more
  • Trouble Codes - Display trouble codes and potential trouble codes. Clear the Check Engine Light
  • Performance - Provides acceleration and braking times, such as 0-60, 0-100, Quarter Mile, etc.
  • Emissions - Check the emissions readiness of your vehicle
  • Alarms - create alarms for any gauge to warn of such events as coolant temperature too high.
  • Manufacturer gauges - Access hidden manufacturer gauges such as Transmission temperature. Manufacturer parameters are those not included in the OBDII standard. (MX and wireless Ultragauge only)
  • Trip gauges - Monitor Average MPG, fuel used, Average Speed, etc for trips
  • Metric - Ultragauge supports both English and Metric units simultaneously
  • Much more
For detailed feature information, please click back or close above, and click the large wired or wireless Ultragauge buttons.

Wireless and Wired Ultragauge
Ultragauge is available in two basic forms; wired & wireless. The wired version is a purpose built, self-contained, all-in-one device. The wireless version combines with a smartphone, tablet or other Apple or Android device. Both Ultragauge type provide very similar capabilities and features.

What is UltraGauge?
UltraGauge is often categorized and called different things. UltraGauge is an Automotive Information center and Scan Tool. It is common to just refer to UltraGauge as a "Scan Tool", however this is not accurate because a Scan Tool is only meant as a diagnostic tool which gathers trouble codes and other diagnostic information. While UltraGauge does provide the Scan Tool functionality, it provides a much broader real time suite of gauges and other features not found on Scan Tools (AKA code readers). While Scan Tools are meant to be attached, information gathered, and then unplugged, UltraGauge is designed to be permanently attached providing continuous real-time vehicle information.

Commonly used phrases for UltraGauge are:

OBDII scanner
OBDII code reader
OBDII scantool
OBDII scan tool
OBDII reader
OBDII gauge
OBDII Bluetooth
OBDII iPhone
OBDII Android
OBDII wireless
OBDII wired
OBDII scan gauge
OBDII MPG gauge
 
My buddy called from Toyota. The water pump, belt and idler are all new. The water pump bolts were loose and the gasket was torn in two. It was an aftermarket pump not OEM. A new OEM pump was previously ordered, so that will go on and Esme will be headed home soon!

Just shoddy labor from the previous shop.

I dont understand how people can go aftermarket on key items like wp/tb... Smh. Glad you got it figured out though.
 
Picked up Esme from Toyota this morning. $436 for new OEM water pump and labor. Perfectly fine with this expense.

The GMB pump was new but poorly installed with a ton of black silicone. Looks like the previous shop knew they tore the gaskets and instead of getting new ones in they just siliconed things... Also, loose bolts.

Shaft seal was already leaking.

Digging the 100 so far. I had a chance to buy one about a year ago for only ~$3k :bang:. Just picked up an Imperial Jade green '99 4runner and I already love it. A 60 in Imperial Jade would be an interesting combo.

Thanks, Not much will happen for a couple more months until we move. Then I can get started on the bumpers.

Seems most don't like the green but I do and that's what matters. A 60 in Jade... is just a spray gun away... HA!
