Sad day. No pep boys in my neck of the woods.

The Auto Zone here had the same deal on the $ 10 rebate, but the price on that light was $ 14. Still a good deal! John
Just picked up 2 of those bad boys. Thanks PFran!

I'll check it out. Thanks.
Hahahh my bad, was on my phone and the link couldn't be accessed... now I just feel dumb lol
Does anyone have any technical info on the frame in the 100 or engine. From what I gather:
-3.2mm thick high strength fully boxed frame rails
-9 (I think from memory) cross-members
-At introduction, it exceeded the strength of the Range Rover frame which isn't applicable in current generations
I know that the 200's frame is 40% stiffer torsionally and 20% stiffer flexurally - but what does that mean? Are there any benchmarks?
Looking underneath the 4R and the LC, there is no comparison. Th 4R is beefy but the 100 is bomb-proof. How does it compare to say the new F150 fully boxed frame. The Raptor platform seems like it can take quite a lot of abuse; however, it is exactly the same frame used in the POS base V6 F150. I don't want to hear the Ford vs. Toyota rep junk (we know the R&D behind the Cruiser is leagues ahead) - I want technical info.
Regarding the V8 - we all know it is one of the most reliable bulletproof power-plants available in ANY car today. Some of the neat features it has are:
-Lack of an EGR system to reduce carbon buildup where poor quality gasoline is prevalent
-Toyota Direct Ignition - starts on the 4th crank every time, fuel is not injected until the last one to allow oil to circulate
-Sintered forged connecting rods unlike its US' UZ counterpart
-Iron block
I'm a Mech-E background and want to satisfy my curiosity. I have the full PDF from Toyota about the 100 cruiser and its features but want tests/numerical data!
So - what are the features, that nobody knows about, that makes a cruiser a cruiser.

What is this PDF you speak of? Are you referring to the FSM ?
It seems like someone (Beno?) quite a while back posted some data about the construction of the 100 series. IIRC, at the time the body stampings were the largest single piece used in any vehicle fabrication. In fact, I believe the 100 was actually classified as a medium duty vehicle. I couldn't find the link... maybe someone with better search fu could help.
No I have that an one detailing design features including oil routing, electronic communication lines etc etc. Couple hundred pages.
You sir need to email or drop box it to me. Please and thank you.
PM me your email and Ill send it right over.
some technical info in this thread. i posted the last bit from a friend at trd which i believe is "in-house" documentation. I might have a couple more similar docs, will dig around...

This has probably been beat up in other threads, but page 101 of the pdf (great document by the way!) has the following bullet that (unless my memory is way off) is incorrect, no?
"A drive mode has been added in which the center differential does not lock when the transfer is set to the L range."
I thought this 'feature' was part of the 98-99 and was the raison d'etre of the pre-2000 pin 7 mod?

I have a hard copy covering the 2006 changes including oiling info for the vvti engine, but I don't think I want to take it apart to create a pdf ... found it on ebay cheap.
What you sent me helped out on my NAv project. Thank you.
No problem.
"L" shocks are hitting the sway bar at full droop. It's not doing damage but I'd rather not have any contact of suspension parts. I have to replace the bushings as one has dry rotted and there is no bushing anymore, so while I'm down there...
Anybody have ideas?
