Turned 100,000 yesterday. So, how does one celebrate such a milestone with a Land Cruiser?

Some 'wheeling...

Then (and this part was not planned, expected or asked for)...
A full end-to-end, inside and out detailing

First time the engine bay was cleaned in 100,000 miles

Side note: I have a client who details and refinishes high-end cars (my 100 was next to a Lamborghini, GT-R and Ferrari)... We went to lunch, did some work... Little did I know what the guys were doing to my 100 while it was there.
So they just cleaned your vehicle for you without you knowing?

The owner said "Leave me your keys, I'll have the guys wash off the mud".
 
Nice, thanks!

You find any place to wheel near Cincy yet? Wish we had some cool trails, even east of Cincy would be good.
Check out the Red River Gorge. Not near cincy but fun nonetheless and a great day trip. Or check out Black Mountain in Harlan Ky.
you could also make a short trip to dirty turtle but the first two listed are much better.
 
I managed to change my stabilizer bar links and bushings. I purchased all parts online from a Toyota dealer, the bolts I ordered for the bar bushings were part 90119-08850. They sent me the bolts pictured below. They look very different from the old ones. Are these the correct bolts? I was confused and just ended up using the old ones. any feedback is appreciated.

Great looking Hundy! I believe I just saw you as you were driving through New Orleans.
 
Stopped putting off fixing my drivers window that wouldn't roll down because I assumed I needed a new window.
When I took off the door panel and plastic liner I discovered it was just a missing bolt and the bolt was in the bottom of the door. Score!!

You've purchased alternator bolts for an MR2. Correct PN is 901190-08B50. The 2nd "8" in the PN you have is actually a "B" as in boy.
 
After a year of complaining about the "detailing" that the dealer's "detailer" did I spent a full day washing, clay baring, rubbing compounding, waxing, and sealing the exterior and vacuuming, leather cleaning, leather conditioning, console cleaning, and carpet cleaning the interior. All of this was to fix what, as best I can tell, was a wash, spray wax / Pam'ing, and Armour All dipping the truck without any details actually being "detailed" by the aforementioned "detailer". A shining (pun intended) example of this were the door handles that went from this:

To this:

In about two minutes total of rubbing compound and wax. They appeared much worse than the iPotato shows too. More bragging:

In the next week or two I'll be rebuilding the CVs, greasing the spindle bearings, replacing the heater Ts, and cleaning the AC condensers.

Yep, that was me. And for the record... you're the one in the great looking 100! Thanks ;-)
 
I heard an 80 was chaperoning a 100 and a bunch of 200s up in Ouray ;)
