What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (46 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Pulled a rear axle with factory locker from a '99 100 that was at a local junkyard this morning. Planning to put it in the '01 LX some point down the road.

Now you need one of these and these...

From experience I know how much this weights, would of been funny to see a video of you loading that in, or however many people did it.

@ugamurph and I loaded it in. Put the AHC in low and heived it up in there. Not fun.

I got an alignment. Then took the LC100 to Rowher Trail just north of Los Angeles in Santa Clarita. Despite the fact that it is probably the closest (somewhat) difficult trail to my house it was my first time on it. First time where I actually put my front locker to good use. At the beginning of the day I was in deep "like" of my Cruiser. Now I am in deep "love".

Bought one, did some work and had some fun.

 

[Kofoed]

I washed the last bit of nasty benonite clay mud from it (capitol Reef NP, Cathedral Valley). I was lucky to have a good half hour worth of rain on the final leg home to wash most of it off

Took the pups up the mountain to play in the snow

Well, the local auto car wash exposed/caused some paint damage. You know those little pin head sized rust spots on the surface of the paint? Typically caused by waxing over brake dust? It looks kind of like this...

The perils of not cleaning off embedded brake dust...

Well, I ran my 100 through the carwash a few times and started to notice this developing. With winter coming up, I was like "hell naw!!!" I tried claybar, but that did not get it, so I spent about a week researching and found the best detail shop in Cincinnati. Ordinarily, I would just do it myself, but lack of time, most of my stuff is in storage due to transitioning between houses, etc... I decided to bite the bullet and have it done for me by a pro. I just picked Snowball up a few hours ago after two days with the guy, and holy hell, this guy did a FANTASTIC job. Did a full compound, neutralizer, sealant and two coats of wax. Nice and sealed up for the winter

I'll get pics of the results when the sun comes up in the morning. Sorry for the tease...

RAIL DUST???

I took a gamble with a Mothers lens cleaning kit and for 28 bucks or so it worked great for me. Not new or perfect but the fogs I started with had 436K miles on them anyways so I figured what the heck! Of course the dream is t have a BB front or ARB eventually. But time will tell.

Took @Greenbean 's advice to clesn up the fogs. For $20 I'm happy with it.

(Left one after cleaning, right one before cleaning for comparison)

Took it out to Gateway, CO to find our Christmas tree. I don't have a roof rack so I welded up a custom Christmas tree rack.

 

[LonghornLX]

Replaced the T's with the copper ones found in the forum.

Took care of the aftermath of a battery exploding, spewing acid and causing rust.

Interior detail: Steamed the seats and console, conditioned the leather

Replaced all 4 globes with new toyota units I purchased off of ebay. Flushed the fluid and the ride is fantastic now.

Cleaned out the AHC canister that was full of crud.

Is that the ebay replacement wheel? The wood and leather on my wheel were worn out when I bought it and I'm looking to replace. I think the color different would bother me too much though..

That is the wheel it came with ( faded with the sun I suspect) I am not 100% sure the previous owner replaced it.

Looks great!

Can't beat it for the cost. I figured if I have my way next year I'll get some kind of bumper and just throw them away or store them, not sure. I'm deciding on a front bumper but sliders will be first regardless.

How many miles on your rig?

Had a "clunk" problem on my new to me 05.
Hit the rear zerks with some grease. Clunk=gone.

 

[Yavo]

Have three cans of fluid and two OEM accumulators so far. I am still fooling around with Techstream, and as soon as I get it running GTG and have two more accumulators... System report will be inbound...

I used to really push mine out with grease but I ended up blowing out my Tcase output seals and that is not a simple replacement job so now I just fill a few pumps instead.

I took mine on a family weekend around the hill country of SW Mississippi. Lots of rain. Lots of mud but it did great. These KO2s always exceed my expectations.
