I am not able to find the rubber mounts for 100 series electric fan. I bought 88467-35080 for 4Runner condenser, and had @Saddletramp made it fit into the fan mount.

Comparison of 88467-35080 and electric fan mount. The rubber mount is thicker.

Trimmed 88467-35080 after @Saddletramp did his magic.

Rubber mount installed.
 
14ga fix that got me to work and back this week from a severed plug wire. New wires are going in tomorrow.

Change oil in both. Me thinks the 80 is burning some. Didn't even get 12 qts total out of both. 14 in and less than 12 out doesn't add up. Pretty sure it aint the 100.
 
Replaced the rear driveline/propshaft on the GX, no more clunk! I also added an ARB skid plate kit, huge upgrade over factory skids.
 
Spent the day today replacing the power steering pump and the low/high pressure lines for it. Another one of those things off the "it needs to be looked at" list.

Nice to have "OSO" back from Murf and Tom at CBT. She is running good but for the mystery of the "CEL 71" still remains.

Spent the week squiring, cleaning, blasting, prepping, Re-Bushing and painting the radius/control arms I picked up to be ready for the lift that has been in the shelf for 2 years now.

 
Ran Sid through emissions. Passed of course. Then put in good vents and repainted the black stripe on the hood. Also leveled the front end but I doubt you can see it in he pictures.

Finished up RCI skid plate (front, tranny, and tcase) install. Also added FJC steelies with old MTRs to the GX today. No rubbing! OME 885/895 w SPC UCAs installed in August.
 
Checked wheel bearing play in both front wheels, all good. Contemplated replacing original steering stabilizer that's dry and gray on one end and shiny and oily on the other. Figure that may correct some of my steering feedback. :hmm:
 
New rubber mounted by CBT 4 - 35" Nitto only required 2.25 oz total for all four to zero on the balancer :clap:1 tire/rim did not require any, perfect from the factory:)

Tested only up to 80 but smooth

I couldn't bring myself to watch much more of the Cardinals beatdown so I caught up on the '01 Runner.

Finally replaced the rat eaten plug wires (needed the same OEM intake hose I just replaced on the Limited) and a new battery/post terminals.
For those of you who are still running conventional lead/acid batteries, I have found that this sprayed on works wonders to keep the corrosion off the posts and tie downs.

Felt the need to do something, added 3" extension. Looks cool IMO, cheap at $10, and actually does add ease to function. :meh:
