Removed the running boards, in preparation for the OPOR Step Sliders I just ordered in the MetaTech 4x4 group buy currently going on.
Now that the running boards are off, I wish I had removed them right from the start.
Obligatory pictures...

No I ordered the vinyl in sheets and then cut it out myself. I couldn’t find any 100 series specific kits online.
Uuhhh... I'm a little confused.
I've managed 300+ miles out of a standard tank plenty of times before. You're only getting 390 using an additional 15 gallons? Were you towing or something?
I took mine out to show a house this morning. The whole property was overgrown so I used the 34s to tamp the grass down some so my buyer and I could walk it. Fortunately, the house sold and made today a very good day.
Then I took her to my trusty indy, Greer Automotive Services in Woodstock GA for a freon top-off. I was down just at .5lb. The tech mimicked an aux fan (later model trucks don't have them) and saw a noticeable improvement using it. I'll be putting LCP's aux fan kit in within a week or so, depending on how long shipping will take. I'll be back to 'uncomfortably cold' AC in no time!
That was around town to make it conservative. That said I’m heavy, have awesome big tires, stock gears and what I count as a 1 gallon dentUuhhh... I'm a little confused.

in the main tank.
@MongooseGA Would like to hear about the LCP (?) aux fan. I need to add to my 04 and daughters 99. NC summers and Toyota AC don't work well together.Uuhhh... I'm a little confused.

Around town definitely makes some more sense. What's your average tank mileage without the aux? I'm stock geared and on 34s and will pull mid 200s after a lot of Atlanta stop and go and have maxed a truck on 33s at 340 miles to a single tank.
I'll report back here. Given the difference we see with the air pusher in front of the truck while the gauges were on, I'm anticipating a nice improvement.
I don’t know my average tank mileage lol maybe 270. “Not enough” but I kind of don’t care.
Show us pics of your 15 gallon reserve tank please!
That's my green 100 back there lolUuhhh... I'm a little confused.

I was checking her out! Looks like there was a 100 series party at GAS today.
It's getting there. I had to refresh a lot.
This is freakin amazing!
Added a fairing to the front of the RTT. @Saddletramp fabricated some brackets out of some steel angle for me. We also cut up a piece of ABS I had from another project. We followed the Gamiviti fairing template (thanks @brices123). I made a couple cross bars out of aluminum angle for stiffness. Barely any wind noise now.
^^ not only will that cut down the wind noise, it also reduces the lift generated by wind going under the tent and trying to push it out of its mounting location.
I could have sworn it used to be under the 100 series on @LandCruiserPhil's site, but it shows under the 80 series - I'm sure you could check with him to double-check. Couple of write-ups in the 100 series board here, didn't search for them though.....
99 already had an aux fan installed. I believe it was removed in 03+
