What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (82 Viewers)

[OregonLC]

Smart, keeping everything hush hush until the trigger has been pulled. It amazes me how people post "good deals" on mud and expect others not to jump in on the same truck and purchase it..

Deal not done yet! Pics and details after title in hand. Lol.

 

[OregonLC]

On the way home... 428 miles to go.

 

[Supra88]

Nice! Congrats! Details?

Running board delete and a 30mm spring spacer and torsion-bar-crank lift on the new-to-me '04. I freaking LOVE working on rust-free trucks!!!

I use Mobil 1 5w30 in my 100series and change oil/filter every 5000 miles.

I too use M1 syn EP 5W-30 with M1-102 oil filter both good for 15K miles. I change around 5K miles when oil starts to get a lite smell of gas. Auto zone has deal until end of the month: 5qt MI EP plus M1 filter $35.99 (most part store will match).

2004 LX Blue Vapor Metallic out of Reno with 73k on the clock. Had been maintained at Lexus of Reno every 3k its entire life. No rust, no accident history. New tires and battery. Slight smell of smoke I need to work on but other than that it's like new. 19.5 MPG on the way home (per trip computer, unverified).

Sounds great. I'm surprised Mrs. LC isnt on here yet asking about lifts and 35s !

While waiting to order new driveshaft u-joints tomorrow I am working on detailing this:

Well it wasn't this week, and technically I didn't do the work, but I picked the rig up from Slee and then headed out to Moab to run with a group from Moab up to the CruiserFest in Tooele, UT. Then drove back to NC getting home a few days ago.

The guys at Slee did a great job and were a real pleasure to work with. They completed the following::

Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier and ladder swing outs
Rear Slee Heavy Springs
Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack
Front Runner Dual Jerry can holder
Front Runner 10g Water Tank on can holder
Front Runner Integrates Camp Table
Factor55 ProLink Shackle
All Driveline Critical Fluids

I've been holding off on the running board delete until I can get sliders due to kid entry/exit, but I'm getting sick of looking at them so they're probably going real soon.

^^^ Great looking '99! That Front Runner rack looks like a winner.

I'm really happy with the front runner rack. Had it all loaded down as shown and not a single squeak or pop! Even during washboard roads at 30-40mph. I even got to meet the Front Runner mangers at CruiserFest as they were in from SA. They came over to see my truck since it appeared to be fully kitted with their stuff!

 

[El Cid]

Cboyd, I recommend the top rails for your rack...Im happy with mine, but I felt this was a must..

I had RSS feeds set up for CL for the western US. But ended up finding it on AT.

Like a sewing maching. Oh so smooth!

 

[Jordan345]

Built new rear lower and upper control arms, plus pan hard rod out of Dom tubing and johnnie joints. All adjustable and dialed in. I can notice a difference on the way it tracks at speed, plus,I shouldn't bend the lower arm anymore.

Much cheaper than ordering ready built and only took a day.
