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

[CappyKD]

I installed my replacement rear sway bar frame bracket along with all new sway bar bushings and end link bushings.

I also got my new rear 3rd member from JT's this week. 4.88's with a solid spacer and TJM air locker. It is sitting in the back of my truck waiting for the matching front to show up next month. Just in time to be installed, broken in and tested before Cruise Moab. Woo.

Finally got a break in the weather and finished up my full brake service... Lots of new hardware - powerstop cross drilled slotted rotors, Toyota brake pads, all new bearings, races, seals, shims, a few new nuts and bolts here and there... Gave everything a good cleaning and the Cruiser is one happy ride...

Very nice! Is that the Tacoma whip antenna mast? What all parts did you need to buy?

Had a fabricator buddy of mine build a roof rack for me. Wanted it to be super low so I wouldn't ever really have to worry about clearance, strong, and to mount my new 50"led.

Also picked up a rear hc bumper from mike at bior with dual swing outs, and a tire carrier. Ladder and gas can carrier to come soon! Mike was super helpful and easy to work with. Thanks man!

Got a new to me 2000 LX470 a few months ago. I'm in the process of base lining. Did a drain and fill of T-Case and front and rear diffs yesterday.

I had a 24" Magnaflow muffler welded in place of the stock one. It sounds perfect!

yep sure is. i actually didn't even cover the sunroof and left that area upfront open. I really like to enjoy the sky! i have zero plans to run a rtf, so this made sense to me.

Replaced the heater hose pipe Ts this weekend.

The DS T going into the block broke cleanly as others have noted (similar to the one on the bottom right in the pic below).

1999 ~150k

Did some pre-running, mudding (hate it) and some river crossings yesterday. It's nice to know this thing can run near the redline for quite a while and come out just as nice as it started.

Nice.

Congrats and Welcome.

Thank you! I am new to the cruiser world and have been checking out this forum for a bit now. Great info to be found. Definitely a big help. I've never done much work on my vehicles, but now I feel like I should always be doing something... It's my new addiction.

Went to Death Valley for 4 days to test suspension mods... Beat the living s*** out her and all I have to show is a great time.

New longer front sway links performed and radflos did not fail. Not bad.

I don't remember which model it is. The mast- Toyota pt# 86309-0C020, the base- 86300-0C010, a 48" antenna extension cable from the auto parts store, and I fabricated the bracket out of a piece of aluminum stock. That's it and it's pretty solid.



Obviously, the toughest part was the bracket.
