Her paint doesn't pop as easily as it used to but got her all washed up and installed the cell booster that has been sitting my garage since thanksgiving last year.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (35 Viewers)

Wipe it down with this stuff… the paint will glow with radiant brilliance.
Great for a quick cleanup as well… probably end up not having to wash as frequently.
Put on some @TRAIL TAILOR extendo rear links and removed the front sway bar. Feels like a new truck! Maybe it’s placebo, maybe not. Either way, the drivers seat test has been believing.
Did a brake flush with Toyota Dot 3 and prepping to put on the TB/WP kit I got from @cruiseroutfit and a OEM thermostat, radiator cap, and heater tee’s! Big week ahead!

Turned it back in to a 5-speed again 
Hell yea! I’ve been waiting for an update on your thread! Congrats man, that’s gotta feel goodTurned it back in to a 5-speed again
I'm still trepidatious, but happy to have improvement.
Cool, so you have owned both 80 and 100 series. Tell me why I should switch from the 80 to the 100. My 80 was stolen last month and I am deciding what to purchase next.
Apparently he was searching for 200s and memorizing the thesaurus while his Gerry was down

Glad to see you win this one!

V8.
I'm going to make a wild and very possibly inaccurate assumption that if your 80 was stolen, it's probably in much nicer shape than one where you've utilized the straight front axle beyond the capability of the 100's IFS.
Or to say, the 100 is better unless you're really doing some heavy wheeling.
That's the biggest word I'll use the rest of the year.Apparently he was searching for 200s and memorizing the thesaurus while his Gerry was down

I've always directed people deciding on what to get to the 100 because it can do almost everything the 80 can do but with a lot more comfort and power. But I was an 80 series owner then. My use case is driving from MN to out west running some pretty challenging trails...enough where I would have to use the lockers...but knowing that I couldn't beat it too much because I had to make it back too. Mine was a Collector's Edition 3X locked and yeah, it was super capable with a slight lift and 33s. It was in really good shape but it was a good mix of using it for what it is capable of and taking good care of it.
thanks!
I think the 100 can do everything the 80 can do, only better. Until you get to trails with a high probability of body damage. Then the 80 may be better. I personally always plan on driving home, so I wouldn’t take those trails even in an 80.
I’ve wheeled with 40s, 60s, 73s, 80s and 200s, and they’ve all been impressed with what a 100 can do.
Daily driver or 2nd vehicle/toy?Cool, so you have owned both 80 and 100 series. Tell me why I should switch from the 80 to the 100. My 80 was stolen last month and I am deciding what to purchase next.
It was my daily. I took it on multiple trips out west from MN putting on about 3K+ miles on every trip while going on some pretty cool trails like Tin Cup Pass, Ophir, Imogene, way up in the Colorado Flattops, Rimrocker, etc...It handled everything so well.
Nice! If I find a nice 2006/07 100 or LX470 I might go that route. I am in MN and there are barely any here even to test drive let alone buy....there has to be NO rust on anything I purchase. But I would like to test one to see...that might be the tipping point on my decision
Working on a MicroD2S projector retrofit! Custom designed and 3D printed some tail caps to keep everything watertight. Excited to have excellent headlights on the LX!

Which side window(s) is that?
Yessir. There's a long thread here comparing these projectors against the stock projectors. These are way better!

I wanted 'white' light without it having a blue tint, so I eventually settled on the 4500k.

I'd be more than happy to sell you a set of caps! I'm going to be finishing my install in the next day or two and I'll get some more pictures and make sure I don't have any issues.
