I'd actually forgotten that I'd registered here like 4 years ago, so now I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.
This is my T100 when it was relatively stock.
I plan of doing a more in depth post later, but that's not the focus. I want to see your T100s.
T100 following isn't that strong. At least not here. My uncle has a white one with v6 but it's an auto. It is a 4x4 and I have tried to pry it from him to no avail. One day he'll cave and it'll be mine.

Been running those bars since it was about 2 years old. I had installed 285/75/16 tires did some hammer time spacing to wheel wells. I installed +2 inch shackle on rear springs. The factory shocks and bars could not keep up. Went to 2mm thicker bar and upgraded to RS9000 first gen that had 5 settings. That worked ok and truck stayed that way till after repaint. Once done with repaint I pulled that last set of RS9000 9 settings and went back to stock shackle and Bilstein shocks. I installed factory tire size.
I moved to TX from AZ about 4 years back and I do not off road like I used to. I mostly run freeway miles and pull boat or carry a Kayak. So smaller tires got back some gas mileage and they cost less.
1996, 5VZFE, 5spd, 4WD, 270,000 miles. Pretty much stock. I just re-did the front end, all new suspension bushings, new spindles, new bearings and Old Man Emu torsion bars trying to fix a bad left hand pull that I have had. Sadly, after the alignment, it still pulled. Guy tweaked some stuff to make it not pull, but apparently the pull was not worn bushings or Trods on the front end Must be the slight thrust in the rear???? does not seem like enough.
Been a great truck though, used to get a very reliable and steady 20 MPG, but milieage has been dropping off, not quite sure why. Just wish she had a little more power pulling the camper. I got some really nice bucket seats from a 98 and swapped all the seats in it winter before last. I need to get a pick of that. Way more comfortable than the bench. Sadly, the gray does not quite match, didn't realize there was two shades of gray interior on these trucks when I bought the seats. Original interior below, it had held up very good.
That's a bummer that it's still pulling, hopefully you can get a handle on that. I definitely wish my 5VZ had more oompf, too, but the decent fuel economy is a pretty nice tradeoff.
Ill play, 1996 T100 with 301K miles. 5VZFE and R150F manual, bought it cheap with a stripped front diff ring gear, swapped in a non ADD front diff from a 85-89 4r/pickup and aisin manual hubs. 265/75R16 GY duratracs on stock toyota 16's. Vairi 200 psi OBA, add-a-leaf, aux lights wired into the brights, independantly wired for a dash cam and cb radio. Had buckets until I broke one and no one sells the parts, and wears a softopper canopy on the bed. Its been an amazing truck I use it hard but take care of it very well. Summer gas and 38-40 psi gets 20 mpg. All the pics are with junk in the bed, such is the natural state of my yota
Sorry guys, I have to make a better habit of checking in on this forum. I love my T100, he's full custom at this point but the stock 3.4 is still running like a champ, although when time and budget allow I'd like to throw in a TDi.
I’ve added a light bar and some upgraded hella 500’s up front. A couple of pods on the back bumper with red filters so bugs aren’t as bad loading up kayaks at night after fishing.
Inside I upgraded the radio and rear speakers and added an amp and sub.
No future electrical plans now since it’s set up well for my fishing/ camping needs.
