What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (62 Viewers)

I'd be real interested in where you got the floor mat anchor & grommet

Both EBay - The anchor came with the new floor mat set:
NEW OEM TOYOTA LAND CRUISER GRAY CARPET FLOOR MATS & CLIPS 1998-2002

and the two-piece repair grommet came separately:
TOYOTA CARPET REPAIR GROMMET FOR FLOOR MAT HOOK HOLE 58297-50020 | eBay

Removed the running boards from my new LX 470.

Easy job, but I did get an earful of dirt shaking those things loose. The wife doesn't love the new look, but I think it looks great.

I'm looking forward to exploring Colorado in this new rig! Thanks to all for all the great content.

New brake rotors, calipers, pads and repacked front wheel bearings

LOVE the F5's! I had them on my 01' D.C. Tacoma I had previous to my LX. They are basic, raw, yet refined. Love your setup.

I took my 1999 100 to Barnwell Mountian to test my new gears out after putting some miles on them.

Mostly 3 star and bunny trails.


5.29s with the 3:1 t-case gears turned the 315s much easier

Installed an Ebay snorkel today. Quality is pretty good.

Thanks to @REZARF for your write up. Was a good guide. Did the nutserts idea too.

Replaced heater tees (I'm at 175k) following the FAQ procedure. Soap and an assortment of different pliers and channel locks got it done. Engine cover removal helped. It seemed that every spring clamp was oriented 180 degrees from where I needed them...must be an inside joke at Toyota.

A barb broke off each one on removal, they were basically welded to the inside of the hoses. I grabbed them with some needle nose pliers and small flathead. Good for another 100k.

These put the sports car feel back into my truck vs. the marshmallow handling I was used to with the stock shocks. No more nose diving under moderate braking, no more squatting taking off from a stop, and it soaks up hard hits as well as rollers like a high end SUV without any harshness. The body roll is all but gone... she stays flat in the corners now. I didn't realize how unsafe stock shocks were with all the added weight until these returned all of the control that was missing. Easily one of my favorite mods thus far. Highly recommended! If I spent $3k on a set of adjustable damping shocks (that I'd probably never be able to justify buying) then I'd probably end up setting them to the same feel as these. IMO they're damped perfectly for my added weight (full drawers, bumper, spare and gas carriers, dual batteries, roof rack, sliders, etc.)

Installed new terrain tamer front/rear brake pads with the OEM rotors. Seems to have better stopping power. Easy install without any significant issues.

Thanks, yeah I think they look awesome. Had em on my old Tacoma as well. Look just as awesome on the 100!

BBQ at Cruiser Corp in OKC. Great trucks and friendly people.

Took her for a long 4th weekend at the lake. Everyone suffered some body damage including the brand new 4runner

awesome video, i need to get a drone!

 

[cruzerDave]

Cleaned up the old Creampuff after a week at HIH7. Almost as rewarding as getting her dirty.

Wait, I didn't know anyone made 5.29's for our front IFS dies? Where did you get that?

Made a light removable back shelf , no tools needed to install. Ready for road trip! ( when you close the back gate it all tightens up very stiff and stable.

K,

If I keep her she will be getting a 105 SAS front swap and full Monstaliner "Jungle Love" exterior with a 4" TourFLex suspension.

Exterior she's about a 6, but interior is a solid 8-9.

My 60 always did.. Monstaliner is a unique product. I've gotten where I can get the texture pretty nice.
