What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (51 Viewers)

[Mchodl]

Did you go with OEM timing belt, idlers, WP and seals? Or Aisin parts? Or?

TCKWP298 Gates belt and pump kit with new o rings, tensioner, idlers. FBT-002 Aisin fan bracket. The old gates pump had a plastic pump and the new one was metal so perhaps it was redesigned. ~$410 all in for the parts.

Nice!

Where in OH are you?

Greater Toledo area. Don’t see many 100’s around here.

Had an petroleum based uncoating sprayed this past Friday. The shop also sprayed inside the doors, the lift gate, door jams, wheelwells.

Nothing overly technical, maintenance wash, steam cleaned the engine, and ceramic coated the windshield.

What ceramic did you use for coating the glass?

 

[Drunken Ira Hayes]

What ceramic did you use for coating the glass?

Adam’s Graphene for glass, way less streaky than all purpose ceramic. It permeates the pores and flashes very quickly, used it on my Mach 1 about a month ago with good results.

I forgot to mention that. I usually find the ceramic gets cloudy or streaks with the glass. Thanks, I will give it a try.

Who knew? I love this fantastic idea, but I see yet another trip to my local ER if I were to attempt this. Did you know that ERs will give you a discount if you have multiple visits in a quarter. Ask me how I know.

Drive fast take chances? But yeah general disclaimer that if one doesn’t feel comfortable doing a technique with wood, probably shouldn’t try it on aluminum. Especially with table saws.

Especially with table saws.Most of us have plenty of spare digits. No worries! If you keep it on ice the surgeon/human mechanic can hook you back up with no problem. And you get points toward the frequent flyer program at the local hospital. #Winning I joke. Please be safe and not an idiot like me.

Safety third. Most of us have plenty of spare digits. The human mechanic aka doctor can hook up back up as long as you put it on ice first. No worries! I joke. Please don't be an idiot like me.

Couple years ago a friend cut off his left thumb and index ‘helping’ his neighbor when a circular saw kicked back. He’s a wildland fire fighter which requires 9 digits(if I remember right) the damaged digits were beyond repair so the doc sewed his big toe to replace his thumb…

See! Proof positive human mechanics can make it work again. That's brutal! ugh! My toe guts (tendons and some other technical stuff) make my ankle work kinda correctly now so I totally get it. Tell him we owe him some beers for giving us a toe up!

Finally got the two front door speakers replaced. Took a oriole liner than planned with the little one running off to dig holes with the tools. But I think it’s safe to say my speakers were in need of replacing. The rears are going to look the same when I get to them.

[2020 Rocks]

After I had installed the front bumper and winch I adjusted the torsion bars due to front end droop. Dropped it off to get an alignment and received a call from them, the rear brake line popped. This is not good. Firestone seems less than enthused to work on it, need to talk to one of their mechanics in the morning for an estimate. If they don't bend me over the barrel I might have them do it. I am running out of time before COTR and worried I can't get this thing where it needs to be in time. SMH

oh joy, the hard lines for the fuel tank are also fubar. Instead of COTR this week, I'll be dropping my gas tank! fmr

 

[silvarshooter]

Figured this was a better place for these then under a chair in the mudroom.

Yes, I rushed it at the car wash.

Enjoy! Just completed that job, not super enjoyable.

Just did a quick job, stayed away from electrical components. I’ll use APC and a brush this weekend to get the rest.

Looks like the engine wiring harness, from the firewall to the engine, has popped loose from the retaining clip/ hanger

Good looking out, I’ll take a look.

Thanks,

Just bought FZJ100 last week (09/1999). Observed some torque steer, replaced front lower arms, rear upper and lower link rod bushes, now drives fine. Left axle boot was leaking, replaced both left and right ones. The valve cover seal was busted and oil was leaking, replaced. New PS reservoir and hose, spark plugs, air filter the regular oil/filter change. Exterior and interior cleaning and polishing.
