What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (29 Viewers)

Wow, I bet their sandpaper feet really kept it from sliding off.

Well I should clarify, the sanding was me. The roof is entirely blistered under the solar panel. All that area needs to be ground down to bare metal, past the corroded surface that's there now.

Oh, that makes sense. Did it trap water underneath, or did they use adhesive or something?

Could you just covertly snag, er, "borrow" a panel from that neighbor? Like 'em?

After my cleaning up my fiasco with spraying power steering fluid all over the engine bay, I actually cleaned the reservoir, flushed fluid, and replaced with mobil 1 ATF MV. It all worked nicely, I can see the level in the reservoir which is a first. ATF was nice and pure, but after a 15 minute test drive it I couldn't see the bottom of the reservoir. Was noisier right after, but settled down and is now very quiet. I think I'll need to swap fluid a few times to get all the old gunk out. Reservoir was disgusting, unreal how much junk came out of there.

Swapped some Toyota rubber bushes on rear sway bar, PB blast on the links so I can get them out next weekend.

Changed out foglight connecter that was jacked, with a rock auto version. Butt spliced with waterproof heatshrink. Fog light is back in business.

The last puddle light setup i had up was a fail, it only lit up the front of the door area so i scrapped that, i bought a 60" LED strip that ran the entire body of the truck and it's much more bright and even now. Love it, but it might be too bright?

I capped my rear AC lines and have working AC again! Fingers crossed that it holds up without new leaks in the front lines. This video I found on YT was very helpful for the cut locatiosn and included links for the fittings as well; not sure if he's a Mud member or not.

got dizzy watching this

Loooks mint! did you just wire that led strip into the lx's original puddle lights or did you wire up your own harness?

I just wired it into the stock LX's puddle lights, these will dim and gradually get brighter as well. Very easy mod to do for those that took off their running boards.

Looking to delete my running boards soon. How complicated is this install? Do they just plug and play? (Assuming no)

Cut the pigtail of the running board's connector off, put that towards the LED strip pictured, and then plug it up. Very simple, hardest part was cleaning the underside enough for the double side tape to stick.

That gray connector is from the runningboard, just splice the wires like this and tape it off

Installed a Craigslist find ARB drawer

Acted like a man child and took picures of these 2 tanks parked next to each other.

what sub box is that ?

 

[ramangain]

Yes, tell us more about that sub box !!
I'd happily relocate my bottle jack and tools for that solution.

Project 250

Go to take a look at the $250 LX. It doesn't look too bad.
