not even close
Impatiently waiting for new shoes at NTB. Taking off BFG 285/75/16's and installing 275/70/18 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's.
Pleased with the look of the 18's and the fresh tires are terrific. These things are beefy!

Replaced the Oil Pressure Sender Unit. The gauge was working one minute and not the next.
I was surprised it was $68.00 at Toyota and $63.00 at lexus. Simple
job. All you need is to take off the skid plate and a 14MM.
Cleaned MAF and Throttle Body.
Sprayed on a few layers of truck bed liner on the Mud Flap Delete bracket and will flip those over tomorrow for a few coats on the other side so I can get those installed this weekend.
Still deciding if I should spend the 300.00 or so on a new head unit and tackle the wiring job myself or replacing the leather on the 2 front seats.

Installed a Wheelskin leather steering wheel cover and a replacement OEM foot rest.
5/9/2017 99600 Miles
Dropped the LX off at my buddy's dealership to have the timing belt, water pump, belt, and if needed any seals.
Job was done about 8hrs later.
Will be picking it up first thing in the AM.
And the subwoofer will be going in.
Removed the blown out subwoofer last Thursday 5/4/2107.
My new speaker foam surround repair kit came in on the same day from Simply Speakers. $18 to my door via Ebay.
So I removed the old surround, cleaned and replace the foam and glued. And let it cured over the weekend.
And tonight 5/9/2017 I glued in the hard plastic surround onto the cured speaker.
Here is the video from Simply Speakers on how to do it.
Very important tip from the video is at 11:10 (centering it)

Is the gauge working/reading correctly now? I think mine has the same issue.

Looking good Bill...
Yes, The gauge is working properly now.
Simple install but you will lose an oil filter worth of oil in process.
So far today:
Oil change
Complete brake system bleeding
Engine air filter
Cabin air filter
Flush power steering
New mast for antenna
Planning over the next month:
Timing belt
Water pump
Valve cover gaskets
New look and I know the number has been posted up but why not again 08886-81221. In the que to do...
locked down the vibrating heat shields and pulled those horribly gold badges, plasti dipped the toyota logos and reinstalled. Also replaced a rock broken front headlight. Impressioning the door key next
@REZARF Unless they have an updated cover, the problem with Wheel Skins is that they do not have an option to cover the spokes. On my 98 4Runner, I cut most of the OE cover off but left the leather in-place over the spokes...then installed the wheel skins over it. It isn't terrible, but I'd hesitate to do the same on my 100 just because it deserves a better solution.
Wheel skins are super easy to install...not even on the banana scale.

Just greased all the lube points on the drivetrain using my new Dewalt DCGG571 cordless grease gun. Holy crap.... that was so much easier. I should have picked one of these up years ago.
Got mine as a new "tool only" on eBay for $129. If you've been on the fence about one of these... Get it!

I replaced the A/C condensor. It was leaking and mechanic quoted me $260 in labor. I got lifetime warranty condesor for $65 from Amazon and began to tackle it myself. It was not difficult at all. FYI....take off front skid plate and drop condensor down. No need to move radiator at all to replace this dude.
After installing I took it to my mechanic...Or maybe I'm his mechanic now...huhh?.....and for about $57 I let him evacuate and charge. It held a vacuum perfectly, they filled it with 2.4#s of freon then checked for leaks with no luck. BAM! It is cooling fine for now.
However, I realize it was not the most high end part in the world and may not last long but I made the decision to go the route I did hoping it will last.
The End.

Changed front shocks and sway bar links. The shocks were original shocks and they were absolutely seized, that top hat and the bottom bolt. I had access to a lift and air tools too but there's no way to get it off with a 22mm box wrench, I ended up bending the inner fender and used a nasty Ingersoll beast to zap it off, then I hammered the fender back straight. Sway bar links were easy.
