Exactly! Will be picking up 3-4 in different sizes and do exactly that, load up each one with different items for different trips (like long trips, shorts trips and day trips). Nice
Like I said, just need a longer bolt (m10). It is pretty solid, however there is some vibration issues, especially with the tablet.
Finally found the culprit to Bubbles' idle/partial-throttle misfire/hesitation.
Nether Scanguage or Tech-Stream showed anything, but knew something was amiss. Figured since I had fairly-recently (last summer) replaced all the coils as a PM, that might be it.
So bought a new coil, then just started down the line replacing, test drive, swap the next coil, test drive, etc...
After going down the driver's side coils, swapped the first one on the passenger side. Bingo! Smooth idle and no hesitation on partial throttle.
So I learned that a coil doesn't have to be "bad" to not be good...

Brakes! I’ve had ABS/VSC lights on for a little while (almost since I got it). They go off periodically so I ruled out broken sensors. Based on something that I‘m pretty sure I read here, I decided to replace the brake pads. The rotors are in very good condition fortunately, so I did just the front pads. The lights have been off since. I’ll do the backs this coming weekend, and bleed the system.
It stops great, the lights are off, and the traction control and ABS are working. Whew!
Also ordered new tires, which are have not yet arrived. 275/70R18, again thanks to this site for the fit information.

I was thinking about separating the mounting balls with the OWL mounting plate. Having one under and one over might mitigate vibrations...?
Good idea. I will give it a try on my next run.
Excited this week. Found a pair of 2864 springs on Amazon for basically half the price of new ones, they were listed as used. Called the company selling them and they said that they are brand new but had to put them in a different box and thus could not sell them as new. Hope that is the case. Should be here later this week. I have the 2860 springs now and with the rear bumper, swing outs, spare mounted further back, roof rack, sliders, skids, storage and all the other stuff plus bodies, things have started to sag. Contacted the guru, Christo, and it was either these or the 2863. Hope that this will make a difference, especially on the trail.

x2. Those look amazing. We need to know!
I feel like a cross between a hacker, and a master mechanic. I replaced the driver's side front door lock actuator motor on my 100. And, it works, and, nothing was broken, and there are no spare parts! Well, except for the motor I ordered first that ended up being the wrong one. But anyway, VICTORY!!
Well done sir, well done...
I paid a Toyota mechanic to replace all 6 heater hoses, T's, and 12 clamps with new OEM parts I ordered. The T's had been leaking and I requested the old hoses be cut off carefully to prevent the T's from crumbling and entering the system. The hot side T broke off, but all the pieces remained in the hose. This is on a 2006 with 108k miles in California stored in a garage. Anyone in the Bay Area looking for a quality Toyota shop should check out Toy Auto Clinic in Redwood City. They are nice, honest, and did quality work. I also had them do a few other things and will go back in the future.
No fluctuations in the rpm on the gauge happen while idling. It is just an uneven vibrating intermittently. While changing PCV and cleaning the throttle body(actually haven't felt it since those were done) I did find one hose from the back of the airbag to the intake manifold starting to split. I was also thinking it could be the wiring from coils to spark plugs. But the throttle body and PCV service seemed to help
I ground out some rusty spots on my - new to me 98 470. I’ll fill them when the weather warms up next week.I am new to the 100 series. Coming from the 40 forum OCD Bettle has a really successful, fun thread where we post a pic of wheeling, a fix, a new part, etc. for our trucks.
It's neat to see the mix of projects, daily driving issues, weekend wheelin reports, etc.
I thought the 100 forum could use one...
I'll start...today I ordered an Iron Man 2 inch lift kit for my 99'.
Wow! I am glad I am in So Cal. Can't wait to see the finished product.
You are lucky indeed. This one is not so bad compared to some others I've seen. Mainly around the wheel wells. Mechanically I beginning to think it was a steal, but the body and undercarriage will need TLC.
does that skid replaces the plastic transfer case one?installed asfir skids

Took the 00 LX in for a seat job. 260 out the door, new layer of foam and new leather top. Method NV 305 with 33 wild peaks next.
We bought a Travel Buddy for the 100 and wow, what a great little oven! We often put 2x frozen pies or pasties in there as we leave home, about an hour later they're hot to eat! Draws around 7ish amps average, peak is <11A. We've had it about 6 months now and our only regret is not having got one sooner
