I had this brand antenna. Worked for about a year. I think dust on the mast just wears down the plastic retaining ring. The antenna would shoot up and out of the fender and lean over the side. I replaced with OEM and has been fine for many years.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Those look like they fit great. How’s the second row? Seems people complaint about the fit there most often.
Had my Coastal Off-road bumper welded up a couple months ago and got out for some early spring wheeling.
Got a little cocky on the snowy rocks and high centred myself with the wheels spinning in the slush. Had to get pulled out by my friend in his Tremor.
No ATRAC and only LSD with the centre diff. Maybe a rear locker?Should probably get a winch as well.

Here you go.
Mojave Road 1st week of April - Condition insights?
Hey guys attempting Mojave Road with my LC100 + small offroad trailer in the first week of April. I'm aware about the current closures on the NPS website. Do you have any very recent knowledge about the water crossing or other things? In case anyone has a nice campspot to share, happy to...

I actually think the fit is pretty good in both rows. especially compared to the way WT's fit in the 80.

If you thought that was fun just wait until you get to put it back in!
What a beautiful place to get stuck!
As for being high centered, a locker may or may not help, just depends on how high centered you are. Typically, once you find yourself in that position it’s going to take a winch or snatch from another truck to get you out.
Yeah, I am hoping that it was more the high centre vs inadequate LSD and CDL as to why I couldn’t get free. Plus, I had to listen to how a “Ford rescued a Toyota” the rest of the day

Today I replaced my AHC accumulator globes and flushed the system with fresh fluid. Really happy with the ride quality but haven’t got techstream so don’t know the levels. Thats next on my list.
Mind you, this was after I had the Major 300000klm (timing belt) service done which was supposed to have included an AHC fluid flush…

Update on my three 
snapped valve cover bolts from the weekend:
Could not get them out by welding a nut on - tried 3 times with progressively larger bolts/welds. The glowing red hot heat from the weld didnt help.
closeup view of 1 seized in proper stuck bolt - snapped off at head:
resorted to having them drilled out and sleeved:
Cost an arm and leg but very happy with job. I have good faith the oil leak will be solved.
Moral of story : maintain your gaskets and if there is a leak - for goodness sake - do not keep tightening the vc bolts down in a hope to seal it.

i'm currently doing mine at 188k miles original owner never changed it but kept up with all the other maintenance so I cant complain. Luckily there was no over tightening of the bolts they came off relatively easy...almost too easy.Update on my three

I did the passenger side already but realized the valve cover bolt rubber washers were degraded to the point where they broke. So ordered 18 new valve cover bolts on the toyota parts online and picked up at the dealer. They gave me a bag of 20 so I got 2 for free so I call that a win.
No traffic laws when youre drinking claws

I have the same headunit! Actually installed it a few months ago - how/where did you route the microphone? And did you get the wiring for the mic to tuck in well?
Almost done! Should be ready next week. This color (8L4) looks awesome when it’s fresh.
What a color!
Found WK sliders locally on craigslist. Got them today and mounted
Last Sunday i did the passenger side valve cover seal. Easy. Today i tackled the drivers side. Holy crap, i was so intimated with all the hoses etc but the thing that really tested my patience and my back was getting to the four lower valve cover bolts. Made it more challenging because i still have my AHC intact so having to get around that wasn’t fun. And the last bolt closest to the firewall was something else. I’m glad it’s over and if i did everything right I will not have to worry about it for another 150k miles. The seals i replaced were original and at 188k miles they were more plastic than rubber.
on another note can i get the part number for the hose for PCV valve? My house is pretty much toast
