What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (84 Viewers)

[dtrav]

Did a torsion bar crank and reindex last weekend and found some not so pleasant surprises under the car. Rear mail seal is on its way out and there's oil residues accumulating on the intercooler inlet due to blowby.

Also after the truck sat on stands for the night, the driver side inner CV boot decided to let a bit of grease puke. To my luck, the leak stopped after resetting the boot clamp.

It looks pretty good now, measures are (bottom lip of the wheel to fender):
- driver 740mm
- passenger 735mm
And lastly, I got the front aligned to get rid of "excessive" wear on the outer of the front passenger tyre.

Pretty stoked with how it sits and rides for now.

Bunch of one banana jobs lately for me.
First, I noticed one of my AC line insulator things broke. Didn't want to pay $$$ for a rubber piece so ordered one that was similar on amazon.

Been sitting on an ASFIR front skid plate for a minute so I slid under and bolted that one on (ignore the missing bolt, the head broke off prior to my purchase of the LX)

And then I finally replaced my eBay special awning that snapped in multiple places while using it at a beach last year with an Ironman one using Gamiviti multi-brackets

Next things to do are to install the Air Lift rear bags, Ironman rear springs and spacers and re-index and crank the torsion bars, oh, and replace the front steering rack (not looking forward to that day).

Got a link for the bushing?

Swapping out old for new OEM. Wasn’t cheap, but it will be worth it.

Paint or protect those things! Looks great. Sometimes new parts are just the ticket, and as old as these trucks are getting, probably a solid move too.

Wow! Is there anything old left on that truck! You have pretty much refurbished it mechanically!

Installed my Ironman Hybrid Roof Rack today. First let me say it's very well built. Solid. The included brackets and bolts are not cheap and everything fit perfectly. Now let me say I'm not 100% happy with the way it looks, but my 105 does not have a sunroof and I wish it was another 10 inches longer. Is there an option to buy a longer one for my model? There is one for the 80 that is 8 inches longer, but would it fit? I'll use it for upcoming road trips and then sell it for something else.

Speaking of sparing no expense to replace with new genuine….
Old:

New:

It was a pretty grueling five minutes to install both, but worth it.

And sorry I forgot to turn my phone the direction ‘mud likes it oriented…..

First big mod after getting the 05LX in Oct 2021.
Did AHC delete with ironman foam cell pro with SPC Upper control arm installation. (Thank you to RMPgarage, Monrovia for the neat work)
3M tint all over (Front windshield CR 90, All other windows CS 35 )
Next one is wheels and tires.

The rubber isolators: 88467-30270 work just as well as the the overpriced OEM part. ~$3-4 each at Partsouq. Those Amazon ones seem to last 6-8 months before you'll need to do the job again. So far I'm a year into the -30270s and they're holding fine.

Here a thread on this

Rubber insulator for AC line above radiator

One of the insulators for AC line above the radiator broke and I don't want to pay $40 for 88718-60880. I found this Toyota part that works good enough for me. The longer thread on one side is not a problem for this application. Part number is 88467-30270. It costs $1.11 from my local dealer.

Spare tire mod to get some extra clearance.
Barely gets the rod in there to lower it but it works.
And without the hitch a 295/70-18 fits clear of the panhard.

OEM ’05-06 Camry steering wheel to replace the old ripped one. Simpler job than I was expecting!

Finally wrapped up my Ramsey winch rebuild. Total investment was about $250.

Ramsey 8.5e

A friend has graciously offer to give me a Ramsey 8.5e winch that he's got sitting around and not using. It's in working order with the exception of a bad solenoid that keeps it from reversing. Anyone know anything about these winches? I've found limited info searching the web. Mostly 10-15 year...

It's hunting season and I finally got tired of my muddy blood stained tailgate carpet. Thanks to a free linoleum scrap it was a pretty inexpensive job

Oh that's pretty cool! Did you use any adhesive in the joints, or are they staying snapped together pretty well?

ETA: Nevermind. I was thinking you used vinyl plank flooring, but I see now that it's sheet linoleum.

You need to replace your stock flasher, with the led one shown. Found on Amazon

New King Spring KTRS-79 coils and 15mm spacers in my ‘07 LX470. Rides noticeable stiffer but highway handling is awesome and it appears to have revitalized my AHC performance.
