What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (59 Viewers)

[Espi SERE]

Can you post the source of the lights? And maybe how you wired them in? Looking to do the same. Like these!

The LEDs I bought off Amazon, had to do some cutting but not much. As for the wiring I spliced into the reverse lights orginally with the old LEDs all I did was repeat. When I install the tail gate storage I'll be able to take photos on how I spliced in the wires.

Finally was able to squeeze in the time to do a full fluid (WS ATF) exchange:

Dropped the pan down and checked the magnets

Gasket definitely needed to be replaced.

Here’s the AT oil pan prior to degreasing.

All cleaned up and prep’d for the new gasket.

Now in place and some close up of the OEM oil pan gasket. 2006LX470

Old unknown mileage and age Vs fresh new WS ATF
Whoa

Took me 3 cycles until clear WS ATF was coming out of the return line.

Prior to the full fluid exchange it shifts smooth as butter. But I didn’t thought it would shift better than what I expected after the whole process. Checked for leaks so far so good found none.

How many miles on your rig?

Removed the sleeping platform from the 100 and found mouse turds! Help! What do I do?

I have already caught 2 with traps in the garage View attachment 2111312View attachment 2111313

Mix baking soda, sugar, and flour or cornmeal. They die pretty quickly from carbon dioxide buildup in their system from the baking soda. Hopefully they will die outside your rig. Ammonia works also. It smells predators urine. They stay away from that. Good luck

What was your method of filling back up the transmission after pulling the pan?

What was your method of filling back up the transmission after pulling the pan?

This was the easiest step-by-step I saw and followed:

WS ATF Flush Procedure

Background Just did Transmission fluid flush on my '05 LX470 at ~85k. Used 16Qts total of WS ATF but had a few spills. It took me much longer than I expected this first time. I only owned it since 70k, but to my knowledge the tranny fluid was never changed. Either way, I was glad to see...

Metal Tech Sliders are done!

 

[Mbchance]

Still completing maintenance items and baselining the LX since purchasing.

2007 Lx470 - 140k

Flushed the AHC fluid by following @PADDO’s procedures. Very much appreciated!
Not sure when fluid was flushed, if ever.

Next was replacing the fuel filter. Easy to get to and inexpensive so figured, why not?
Purchased from Wit’s End which included the green clip.

Decided to clean up the beauty afterwards!

Hi,

Are these 30mm BLOXSPORT spacers? Please let me know how it is as i am planning to buy same. These are the only spacers i see online for front wheels apart from slee offroad product.

regards

Installed @TRAIL TAILOR 's rear lower control arms.

So, my 100 with AHC blew. The passenger rear actually blew a hole in the circle section in the pic (the pic is the newly purchased one). This part had to come from Dubai...almost $200 cheaper than the local dealer.
This was a pain in the rear to change. The most important items you need for the job are long ratcheting wrenches and small hands.
Job is done and pressure is holding, so I must have done something right.

Yay!! you did it!
Did you also replace the uppers too?

Not yet. I'll probably order in the next week though. They definitely made a difference in the back, so I'm looking forward to doing the uppers.

I'm going to be doing the front LCAs in the near future as well, so the only original parts of the suspension will be the engine mounts and body mounts.

I did both upper and lower control arms together (OEM Toyota) and added extended rear sway bar links from @TRAIL TAILOR and that made the biggest change in the ride quality. I still get some wiggle in rear when changing lanes and I think that can be remedied by an updated lateral control arm.

Reworked Baja Designs Lights in @TRAIL TAILOR Bumper to world with factory Fog Switch when high beams are on by removing Column Clam Shell and grounding trigger wire. Fog Light Switch Rewire for High Beam Use
Jason’s placement of the lights in the Bumper is absolutely perfect for light output. Cleaned up Winch wiring so it’s not seen.
