Looks like you CV axel seal might be the culprit. It's not hard just time consuming.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Had my 100 series for about 5 months the no roof rack look is clean and good for proformance.
Ha! No, it's my wife's 2005 Sequoia. I'm with you 100% on the utility aspect. I put a rooftop box up there and haul our fishing poles etc. My son accidentally broke one of the front rack caps, then I broke the other removing it so I have to get a new set and they're not too cheap. So... streamlined for a bit. Take care!I’m sorry, but how do you carry your surfboards?
YMMV, as they say, but I rely on my LC as a utility vehicle.. part of that utility involves attaching things to the outside of the vehicle. I need that roof rack, otherwise my LC is useless to me for a lot of reasons.
If that’s what you like, then go for it! But for me, that Toyota in the background is more useful than an LC with no roof rack!! Is that a V8 4R?
Ordering plates today. All applicable, help me pick.

How about LXCRUSR
Nice, I’ll have to see if that combo is available
It was unavailable but this was
I think I like the DAADWGN one then!
That’s been my preferred choice for about a month. I’m just going to go with that. Thanks
I tried using the molding tape with mixed results. The problem is that the contact surface is so narrow. The edges of the panels are not flat, but instead just thin plastic at a 90 degree angle from the panel shape. So there’s not a big area contacting the tape.
Ohh, that ain’t ideal. You could build it up from the underside and adhere it from that although it’d have to be very precision to look right. You could use some of the older, flat black rubber type door edge guard that has the 3m on it and put it on the second side if the measurements worked. Not sure now deep they are from the inside. They make some that is nearly flat.
Latest update on this mostly stock build running 37s. I dented the rear driveshaft while crawling in the fall, so I replaced it with a brand-new Toyota driveshaft (ouch—that was pricey). I’ll still be re-sleeving the original one as a backup. A couple sections of the exhaust also fell apart due to rust after a fall wheeling weekend, so I had a local shop build me a budget-friendly replacement.Took her for a quick test drive around. So far feels nice, I got 65mm of down travel, need to finish the body work, build gas tank skid plate, sliders, front bumper for the winch and do the timing belt/new radiator.

I’m currently finishing the front winch plate and getting ready to weld on a set of Jeep JK 4-door rock sliders I picked up locally. Turns out they fit perfectly lengthwise; I just need to extend the mounts. Winter wheeling is coming up in February. Looking forward to see how this thing handles against 105 on 37s in the deep snow.
Extended them, and picture of the winch plate from the front and another side profile.
Not a welder, but previous projects held up the abuse, so this should too

On my to-do too… quick Q. I have assumed I need to do this at time of oil changed, but never looked close enough to assess. Thoughts?
Installed and adjusted the headlights and the HIR bulb upgrade from 7 years ago really pops again. I was ready to pull the trigger on some LED low beams but I think it can wait. Before I throw the old ones away, does anyone use old (glass) housings for LED or HID retrofits?
Treated the old LC to a polish and coating to celebrate the restored "night vision." There isn't much paint depth left but it cleans up well if you don't look too close. It's not a daily driver anymore but I still can't resist taking it out every chance I get.
Finally finished the SureSine 150 Inverter installation. It’s always interesting to discover which projects end up being more challenging than I expected.
I planned & spec’d this a year or so ago & im holding firmly to the idea that I had a really good reason for choosing this inverter. The ordeal of installing it has dulled my memory. It’s big & requires lots of big wires, which complicates things.

Your drawer system looks really similar to the ones I built for mine a few years ago! Looks like a painted gravitex/raptor finish?
My thought is right before the oil change so that if any debris falls into the hole while replacing it, then it can hopefully flush out when I drain the oil.
