What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (74 Viewers)

[landylover21]

Rear brakes were done, new pads and rotors, decided against putting new calipers in as the ones I have were perfectly fine.

Also, managed to give it a good final thorough wash and coat of wax as winter is finally here in the Northeast

Looks awesome! Was considering all colors even matte bronze. Would've been different but settled on matte grey. I think all the colors look great on black.

Yeah, I almost pulled the trigger on the Bronze a few times but in the end went with Matte Black. I'm going to have to check on those red decals.

I'm polishing mine after massive trail rash this weekend in the Ozarks

Bought some KO2's on Craigslist a few weeks ago and got those installed recently. Installed Yakima crossbars (REI 20% off sale) and a CVT Mt Rainer tent (been sitting in my garage for weeks) last week and then took a trip down to Big Bend to break in the tent. What a beautiful place, need to schedule more time to take on South Rim.

Will eventually be moving the tent to the top of an m416 trailer. I have one sitting in the garage at the moment, soon to be purchasing a second. I need to install the sliders this week that are sitting in the garage and swap out some fluids.

Took River Road from Rio Grande Village area to Mariscal Mine. Ran into 3 other Land Cruisers while there, two 80's and one 60. Good to see others out in the park.

Sweet, will be taking the same route tomorrow, can't wait.

I guess it is my turn to post on this thread. Recently, I changed the air filter, cleaned the throttle body and the MAF sensor. I was shocked at how such a simple thing improved performance.

I have some new wheels and tires that I hope will get on the car this weekend.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!

Oh, almost forgot. Put on an ARB bumper... before work... by myself. Left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth. The Fog light housing quality was less than I expected, even though I was warned it was low. I ended up with more left over nuts and bolt/odds and ends than I thought I would too. I like how it looks. New tires are probably next, as well as removing the side steps and re-indexing the t-bars (maxed them out (leaving room for droop))

I had to replace a tire after tearing a hole in one while in big bend a couple weeks ago. I plugged it using the ARB kit and it held for almost three weeks until I could get the tire replaced.

I TRASHED my paint last weekend. I've worked on it all week after work with Griots and an orbital. It's good as gold now.

Pig and I are diving into the interior now.

That's awesome looking. Currently with the roof top tent on my LC, I find myself stepping on that to adjust one side of the tent (opening/closing). I'd have to put some non-skid tape on it.

I installed some new 'Superbump' bump stops by Wheeler Off-road . On our lower control arms you need two pairs of these, but I chose to just install one per side (on the front position) to soften up the impact a little. I love the results. Since I still have the OEM bump stops in the 'rear' position, It won't over compress up into the wheel well. I like many was a little hesitant to completely remove the factory bump stops in fear of over stressing the axles etc. I could have gone with the Wheeler spaces, but I think my way works as good or better. Took it up to Rowher OHV area about 45 minutes from my house to test the bump stops out. They feel great. Very noticeable improvement. Also found a nice mud pit and some fresh mud puddles to play in. My wheels look like I painted them brown . Downside to the trip was that I broke a rear Rancho RS9000XL shock that is only 2 months old . No pics or info on that yet. I am going to take it off tomorrow and see what happened, then contact Rancho about a replacement. It looks like it snapped just below the threads . Anybody else have this happen? Everything else on my suspension is fine. Shocks are the correct models. My LC100 chassis is stock height with healthy adjacent components. Oh well. s*** happens.

Actually I'm going to monstaliner it and going to hate it the whole time I'm doing it because @reevesci @ trail tailor did superb job on the finish it's like a jewel and I'm going cover it up

290k miles on the '98 and finally changed out the torsion bars and rear springs to OME. Standard OME torsion bar and #865 springs in the rear. Looks good and rides well, should have done this many miles ago.
