What LEDs did you use? I'm assuming those are OEM housings as well?
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Finished installing all of the following:
Doing all this in my apartment's garage was a challenge, especially since it's my first time doing anything like this on a vehicle. Learnt a lot though, can't say I regret even a single moment!
- Terrain Tamer shocks & rear Springs
- OEM Rear Spring insulators
- Trail Tailor sway bar extended end links
- Trail Tailor front differential drop
- White Knuckle Off-Road sliders
- Ben3D Foglight housings with the singular Rigid D2 that I picked up from a fellow mudder a while ago

Thanks! The paint is Line-X Ultra (their exterior body panel coating product) in the Toyota color “Mudbath.” It was hard to find la Line-X shop with the equipment to apply Ultra, but it turned out great and seems really durable.
Needed a quick project and remembered I had some dynamat in the garage so I took care of the back half in the Lexus.
Ended up using about 4 sheets on the outer rear quarter panels, rear arches, and floor. Have another 2 sheets left but I think I’ll buy some more and do the rest whenever I end up upgrading the speakers/sub and replacing my nakamichi amp with a 5 channel

I've done my floors the whole way from firewall to the back, quarters, doors and wheel arches are on the list. How tricky are the interior panels in the rear quarters?
This might be stupidly obvious but my wiper fluid nozzles have been malfunctioning and overshooting forever. I just noticed in the sun that 2/3 on each side looked pretty clogged - cleaned them out with a needle and good as new.
Kicking myself for not doing it sooner.

Yeah I used some carb cleaner needles earlier this year and finally got all mine working for the first time ever. Makes a big difference
No sales tax shipping to California!!!!
Sometimes just looking at alignment dots can be satisfying.
Almost done, just taking my time with the 110° Las Vegas weather. Seriously considering installing an AC in my garage soon.
Work done:
• 2uzfe VVTi camshaft seals replacement L&R.
• front crankshaft seal replacement.
• dual oil catch can setup.
• valve cover painting, wrinkled.
• new hydraulic timing belt tensioner.

Globes replaced! 3 passed pencil test. front right failed miserable. Fluid done and flushed. Ride is 100x improved. Thanks for all the OGs in here and on youtube with step by steps.
Dialed in all pressures and did full vehicle scan. All good and ready to roll! I have a few more fluids to change out. Transmission, brake, and axles.

OEM? Where did you get them?

Factory parts. They go in and out of stock frequently but great customer service out of Cali.
Those crinkle-red valve covers look amazing.
Thanks, 90s-2000s civic type r and 20-valve corolla 4age younger days, the wrinkled red is like a time capsule for me. But what my dream build was this, totally unnecessary but completely a work of engineering art: T6061 full billet out a 5-axis cnc.
maybe next time.
Replaced the fuel filter and power steering fluid reservoir with OEM units; trying to chase down a fuel smell on engine startup as well as a power steering fluid leak (rack was replaced with OEM reman less than 2 months ago).
Also installed a Lutz Auto speedometer calibrator. It'll be nice not having to depend on Waze for actual speed or doing math in my head as I drive. Accurate mileage is nice too.

Crossed the 300K mark today..
Finally got around to replacing the sunroof seal. Getting the sunroof out was actually way easier than I thought it would be. Pulled straight down on the side plastic covers to remove them. No clips broke somehow. Then removed the 4 bolts holding it in. That’s it. It lifted right out. Easy peasy. Seal came off easily and the old sealant scraped off easily enough too. Getting the new seal back on was not so easy. Used 3m weather sealant and properly got that everywhere on me. Somehow the kids got it on them too. Probably got on the dog as well, but luckily he’s black so it blends in. It dries to tacky way faster than I was anticipating. I may have to remove everything and try again later, but we will see how she holds up. I’m pretty sure the culprit was the crack in the Plastic part. Water wasn’t even making it to the drains when it rained. Sealed that up best I could. If it doesn’t work, I’ll replace the whole thing next time. I don’t think they sell that plastic part alone.
