I took my rig into KOFA. Still waiting for my rack from Dissent but I decided to chance my new iKamper with the factory. It's a bit squeaky but ok so far....KOFA is amazing...
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (23 Viewers)

Thank you. I'm at 2" front and 3.5" rear on D setting. I will try dialing it to C and get another alignment.
Give it a whirl at your current setting and ignore me for now
Caster is more of a preference thing, I found my LC tracks better with the lift having more caster. Les Schwab first set it to +1 and it wandered. I brought it back and they just set it at +4, which feels like it was done just to get me to go away. The steering felt heavy then.
The guys at the shop I finally went to recommended high twos, low threes on the 100 series. I trust them, they do a lot of IFS Toyota setups (something like 50+ builds a year)
I went with one I found on eBay that’s stainless and has smooth bends on the collector tubes. Came with 2 gaskets and a clamp for the outlet pipe. Everything sealed up nicely and it’s quiet again.

I may have a different handling requirement than most off-roaders out in UT and CO. To get to my local destinations for 20-25 miles of off-roading, means 50+ miles of paved and often curvy roads.
So I need it to handle like a sports truck most of the time and then do ok off-road some of the time. The OR trails are usually easy with mud being the biggest obstacle.
Sounds about the same as here minus the mud (ok some mud).
Nice photo, where is it from?
Arkansas - central, west, and to the northwest mountains
Those type of roads are why I own a Boxster. Unfortunately there aren’t many roads like this near me...Hence the LX has 8,000 miles in the last two years, but less than 800 on the Boxster.
Very cool.
Are those not just stock aluminum rims and not chrome?
This week I went into the hell hole and replaced the original fuel pump on my 99 with 166k. This was one of the last foundational maintenance items, having done the timing belt, pulleys, hoses, etc.. this past summer. Also installed a pioneer 2600nex head unit and programmed a new key using techstream installed on my wifes old windows 7 machine (now dedicated to techstream). Rounded things out by cleaning the MAF sensor . Purrs like a kitten now.
As you can see from below, the hardest part was getting the small bolts that hold the pump onto the tank. Love that midwest salt. After much cleaning and copious quantities of pb blaster, all came off in good condition.

Looks like a difficult job there
I replaced an O2 sensor on my ‘06 LX470. Out of necessity, obviously. Fortunately it was down stream and easy to reach. The worst part was the connector which I had a hard time with in the cold weather.
Next up is the ABS and VSC lights!

Ugh me too, got all lights off related to exhaust these lights are the only ones still lit. My mechanic said I’m not in limp mode or anything, maybe abs sensor. Lmk what works for you.
Damn urs is crusty!
Yes. Stock aluminum. They did have some kind of chromish coating that had come in off places giving it a lovely two tone perpetually dirty look.
sad

What I did was drive it in what my reasoning was for buying such a rig!!
I don’t get snow days, so capability and reliability are a must.
6am on New Year’s day was a fine time for almost and inch of freezing rain topped by 5” of snow later that day!!
Not crazy by KC’s standard, but enough to make a 30 minute commute turn into a 50 minute one.
45 mph on I35 was a breeze. Any faster and it got a little puckerish!!

Just another drawer build. All 1/2 in cabinet grade plywood, lots of glue, staples and screws. Mahogany drawer fronts, waiting on slides to come in. No slides for the big drawers, just the fridge that will sit on top and the stove on the passenger side. Will post update when completed Happy New Year all, can’t be worse than the s*** show of 2020
Genius!! I love it!
