Did the cabin air filter retrofit. I have 03 LC, had to replace with whole new cover (what a PITA) no filter access door. The dryer lint trap brush worked like a charm.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (76 Viewers)

As promised here is the link for the sahara expidition video. Hope you guys enjoy it.
As a result of this journey I redid the boots on upper and lower balljoints. They looked old nasty.

KISS drawers in!
I hope you bought two of those air filters, since it uses two, one stacked on top of the other.
I just got back from morocco 2 days ago and we went into the Sahara as well ... boy oh boy did I wish I had my land cruiser!
Built an attic/rack for the 1999 Land Cruiser like @LandCruiserPhil it was a bit of pain getting everything to line up but in the end, I won. I think Phil nailed it with the 18" width, I tried the 24" width and it crowds the rear passengers... sorry to doubt you Phil!

No worries Drew looks great!
Now make a bunch more and I will send them to you
Replaced both valve gaskets and o-ring seals. The cover gaskets were leaking bad and were in quite bad shape. The o-rings looked great. 2 hour job total for both sides. Thanks to the FAQ, this job was WAAAAY easier than I had anticipated. Was scared to see what the inside looked like, but am happy to report that both sides look fantastic in my opinion. And yes, I cleaned off all the burned oil along the outside perimeter so it now looks fresh and clean from the outside
One speaker repaired, two to go! Sounds much better! Replaced interior lights with led.
Final project for the evening done! Replaced the u-joints on my front drive shaft (with the help of very good mechanic friend). Super easy job. I had been feeling a bunch of driveline vibration....almost like a binding when turning and accelerating. Had originally attributed it to the axles which I replaced last month. That cut the vibrations by a large margin. However, this past Friday, I got under the truck and "wiggled" the front driveshaft. Sure enough, it had a bit of play. Confirmed with the land cruiser specialists here in Austin that this is a common wear item that will result in driveline vibrations. Ordered the parts from Toyota and installed them today. Holy cow! My LX drives like a new truck now! No vibrations at all....zero, zilch, nada. Granted, I had last month replaced both CV Axles, repacked/greased all wheel bearings, replaced the anti-sway bar links and bushings as well as the steering rack bushings.....so....I guess it really should drive like new Again, thanks to the Mud FAQs, I was able to do a job I previously would have never thought I'd be capable of.
Oh, and NO spare bolts anywhere.....unlike when I assemble IKEA furniture...so....YAY!

Been a busy couple of weeks...
Today, I got rid of the rear audio controls (which have been disabled anyway since I replaced the head unit) and put a dual USB port in that space.
Got the blank from my local Toyota dealer, then drilled and dremeled out a hole just big enough to wiggle the USB into...
Meanwhile, since I never use the outlet in the center console and likely never will, I cut the wires to that, put on some extensions with butt connectors, and connected that to the USB outlet. Worked out very well and was the path to least resistance.

End result looked like this:
The Dremel slipped on me once (or twice) but I’m okay with it. USB was a Cllena from Amazon, $12. Have the Blue Sea in the dash of my FJ62, but this is all you need for an interior application like this. No fuse used; will only be used to charge the kids’ phones. The upcoming dual battery setup will power a blue sea USB in the cargo area that will be fused up.

One of the simple things I did in my FJ62 that I really liked was to install a Ram Mount for my iPhone. I’ve been missing that in the 100, so I remedied that today. Same exact mount I used in the 62, bolted down to the driver’s seat.
Looks nice! I have some headrest monitors I tapped the same spot for power. And still use the center console for charging phones. Can I add a charger to back also or will that be too much draw?
