What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (42 Viewers)

Looks great!

Thanks Bama.

Degreaser or did you wipe everything down manually?

Would you believe me if I told I used the Mobil1 diff oil to wipe that hard crusty combination of oil and dirt?
Yup that's the secret sauce. Drip a few gear oil on a rag or microfiber cloth, wipe the surface and those nasty dirt will easily come off. Not only the wiped surface is going to be clean, it will also repel water/dirt and eventually that white-ish mark on your truck's underbelly components making it hydrophobic. No fancy high-priced de-greasers or compounds.

Look on the bright side, your master cylinder was probably rebuilt or replaced, no other reason to go down there and remove those that i can think of.

Correct, it was.

TT recovery points and BORA 1.25” wheel spacers.

 

[GorData]

Matt0404 - Why is your skid plate spaced? Just noticed that.

 

[MongooseGA]

Diff drop.

 

[ibrahim83]

Post hih cleanup. Jacked up and removed wheels and armor, degreased, power washed, greased driveline, oil change, sprayed it down with fluid film, washed, rewaxed, vacuum and wipe, fixed a loose mfd wire and currently going through a leatheriqe treatment.
Next week i tackle cleaning and clearing the garage from all the tools and camping gear.

Oh, and touch up. I've earned some nasty rock chips coming back. Should've taped it up again on the way back

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Added the rack.

As Mongoose mentioned, it's part of the diff drop.

Finally Finished welding and installing the 4x4labs rear. Working on the basket and tire carrier now, then onto the front bumper!

Geanes is on point with the links. When ordering the spacers, I left a note in the order comments to notch the fronts for the flange bolts. Larry followed up with a text the next day confirming year and requirement for notching. Took about two weeks from order to receipt.

De-carbonized the intake ports..

And while at since the intake manifold was out already..

Once all serviced and cleaned, replaced the gasket of the intake manifold and throttle body using genuine toyota/lexus parts

 

[wyattroa]

Cleaned the leather a bit

I got all hot and bothered looking at dark bronze wheels, and mine were sitting pretty rough these days so I decided to bronze it up with duplicolor bronze wheel paint. I test painted my spare and it looked good. Matte and not too bright. So I did them all. And I keep telling myself maybe it will darken up here soon.....

Gun metal is in my future again soon I think. Who knows, it might grow on me.

I think it looks amazing! I'll trade you my old peeling chrome lx wheels!

 

[Alibaster]

Haha that’s what these were. On my LC. They look rough up close, too many encounters with rocks. It’s growing on me. I need to see it in real day light fully dried for a few days I think. I got my dissent front powder coated in grey thoigh so my cruiser is going to have lots of various color parts. I call it the jalopy.

Looks terrific! Are those 3 ton or larger stands? Looking to pull he wheels for cleaning on mine and have 3ton stands wondering if they are enough.

Replaced my alternator last week at 240k. RockAuto Denso unit, no removing radiator hoses - barely fits!
Over the weekend decided to take apart the cargo area and finally get rid of that subwoofer rattle by replacing it with the cheapo Pyle sub recommended here. Can't really hear the sub but not hearing that rattle is sooooo much better.
