What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (25 Viewers)

[Brandon Ryder]

Rebooted my passenger side CV joint. It was a new Toyota axle about a year old and probably 15k miles. I did an iron man lift when i replaced them without the diff drop. I may do the diff drop now. It's a messy job but only took me 4 hours with some help

Took it to do a little more drone mapping at a logging site. Trust me I know…tires are next on the list

Threw out some inferior and/or expired first aid items in the OEM first aid kit in exchange for some better stuff. Also added a North American Rescue C.A.T. and trauma sheers in an Eagle Industries tourniquet pouch, MultiCam. Everything at-the-ready in the center console.

Consider taking a Stop the Bleed class if you haven’t already.

As they say, you want to be able make holes, stop holes, and plug holes.

Carry a hole puncher? Then carry a plug.

Getting my new rear crossmember ready for install Friday. Added a drainage hole for clean out and drainage.

Replaced heater tees, doing this for so many cruisers, mine and customers, i can knock it out in under 10 minutes. Trick is to place a pillow on top of the engine and lay on top to get access to it. I usually remove the hoses itself to prevent the broke pieces from breaking off and falling into the coolant passage.

Ordered some new tires to mount on my 2021 Tundra Trail Edition takeoff wheels. Going on my stock height 2004 Land Cruiser.

^^^ah i hate you, my fav color on a 100, looks real clean bro. Tires look kinda pushed in though, any plans for some spacers to bring them out a bit? I ran Bora spacers for years without issues, they don't vibrate and survived a few offroading trips.

Definitely will consider it. Never used spacers on any vehicle I’ve owned, but can see the pros here.

Bar Keepers Friend and some elbow grease transformed this 17-year-old tailpipe into something worth smiling about.

Looks awesome! What was your process?

Looks awesome! What was your process?

Thank you. I just used a Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, Bar Keepers Friend (BKF), and a bucket of water. BKF is a chalky white powder (similar to baking soda). You want to get a decent amount of BKF on a semi-damp sponge (I used the harsher, scrubby side of the sponge) and just rub out the grease and surface rust with several passes. Keeping it semi wet helps, but you'll quickly learn you want more powder than water. On the other hand, you'll know when you don't have enough water. I probably spent about 20 minutes total bringing the tailpipe back to like-new appearance before I rinsed it while also wiping off the BKF residue (otherwise some of it stays behind). Then I dried it off and marveled at the transformation!

Note: it's not meant to be used on painted surfaces. I've always used it on our kitchen sink and pots and pans and one day decided to try to clean up a Honda exhaust tailpipe and presto!, I found a new tool for my automotive tool kit.

Sweet! I sometimes miss having a snorkel. It was the most noticed and admired feature on my truck!

SparkPlugs, valve cover gaskets, timing belt, idlers, water pump, serpentine belt oil change, coolant flush…. Drain 70 litres of diesel contaminated gasoline from the tank and refill with $5/gal premium to purge any remains.

Next week I’ll tally up the cost and present it to the filling station. We’ll see which is more effort. I hope to get in early before dozens of my small town neighbors get their cars back from their mechanics.

This Alberta gas station mixed up diesel and gasoline for 3 days

On a scale of chill to furious, how mad would you be?

Ugh, Bruce! Glad it wasn't worse!
