I may be missing it but no T17 is listed for the 100-series on TJM’s website, and 05+ LXs aren’t in their model drop-downs for any TJM product. Where is best to look/buy? Not TJM’s website?
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (76 Viewers)

Finally had time/permissive weather to paint the trim on the driver’s side...
Neighbor’s kids said it looks so different they thought I bought a new truck...for whatever the opinion of 9 year olds is worth.

I repacked my bearings and did new front brakes. I also bled the fluid all around. Rear brakes I already did.
Used Timken NLGI 2 grease: https://amzn.to/39AiT5h
I also chose a Powerstop kit. I've had great luck with these on previous trucks. I go for the Tow version: https://amzn.to/2TzYyHS
Slotted and cross drilled look cool!

Swapped my ENTIRE INTERIOR with another MUD member. Swapped my tan for his gray. Don’t really care to ever do it again. Dropping it off in the morning to have the leather touched up and then off the to the detailers to get the carpet tuned up.
Holy crap, man. Thats a handful! You must have *really* hated that tan interior!
New Alpine ilx-f309 HU. This was not fun, had to cut out a pretty good chunk of the top of the dash panel so that it would slide around/under the "hovering" screen. Also installed a backup camera while everything was ripped out. Love it so far, but knuckles still recovering. Screen looks kinda washed out in these pics, not so in person.
I can't believe there were actually two of you who wanted to do the swap and were willing to go to the trouble of getting it done. Bravo to both of you.

filled mine up on Saturday, first full fill up since I got it.
12.48mpg as calculated by dividing gallons put in by trip miles. 275/70/16s.
That's me being heavy footed (v8 ooga ooga), needs tune up, shocks and tires.
Hoping to get the magic 14-15 once the above is done...

Funny, I actually prefer the tan over the grey myself. Don't prefer it that badly though !
I think something like an induction cleaning, gas tank treatment, MASS Airflow sensor clean, and throttle body intake clean, and oil change with help especially if you're up in miles. I did a set from BG (44K, EPR, and MOA) instead of Seafoam and last night and seemed to do well but I don't if the BG44K was worth the extra money over seafoam. However my oil is noticably cleaner for longer and viscosity maintained longer than last time, going to have it tested and compared to the last sample. I think overtime I've seen .5-1 MPG gain in using 91-93, but again, probably not actually worth the money if that's the goal. Now if performance and longevity or the goal on the other hand...

Good call, I was going to pick up a can of seafoam for the gas tank, and/or possibly put some in when I do an oil change. I've always noticed a 1-3 mpg gain in my vehicles when I run seafoam with a fill up. Can only do it so often though.
This week I
1. changed out my PS reservoir
2. installed my 3rd row seatbelts (Will need to haul kids around) after the PO cut the originals out.
3. Replaced my hood struts and got rid of having to use my 7 iron (pic)
4. The week prior I had a new radiator installed and I did my Heater Ts and hoses.
Next up is to have a shop look at my UCA and LCA in the front and see if they need to completely be replaced or just the ball joints.

There are people in this world who would rather junk the truck than take the dash off to replace a leaky heater core and then there are people with dedication to an interior color like yourself!! To say I am impressed is just a gross understatement.
Did you take any other pics in-process? Any tips or tricks for others who might have to take the dash off?
There are a couple of guys on the GX board that have done the solar panel thing.
Talked to Kurt @cruiseroutfitters on Wednesday and had my new inner and outer tie rod set on my porch Saturday morning. Threw them on Sunday and getting an alignment today.
Had a whistle develop at idle so I checked the vacuum lines on the intake tube. Discovered a small crack in the resonator that sits above the coils. I decided to try a $20 4.7 Tundra/Sequoia intake tube on the Cruiser.
The Tundra/Sequoia intake had the 4 ports needed to hook up the vacuum lines.
- The PCV hose hooked up without a problem.
- The Power steering idle line hooked up with a little rerouting.
- The fuel regulator and line to Charcoal canister needed extended.
I notice a little more intake noise at 3,500 RPM.

I love it. I have been fighting P0171 code and am suspecting the intake hose has a tiny hole somewhere. $20 isn't too bad to try out!
Did you sand down the molding before painting? I'm getting ready to do this to my 100 but I think I'm going to remove the molding from the cruiser.
Out exploring as usual. I did get pulled over for a headlight out. There were 3 cops there, guess I look suspicious in a 100 series
