What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (61 Viewers)

[cmck]

How do you run the all the wires for the switches? I just installed a dash cam and could barely stuff one wire across the headliner and down the pillar. Mine is an 03 with airbags in there

Well I have a 99 and the link So you wanted an overhead switch panel? swears there a channel in there big enough. The photos also made me believe I could pull it off. We shall see.

Popped this panel off to paint it, but decided just to replace.

Looks great, painted mine and it's looks horrible. Do you have a part# and where you got it?

 

[cmck]

I made it for the console you linked, and to accept the blue sea switch bracket. It may fit others, I just don't know the dimensions. I need to do a double check on mine, just haven't had a chance to pull the overhead console back down. Only fit I am not 100% on is if the holes will line up. If you are OK with drilling and using two sheet metal screws, it won't be a problem. It's intended to accept some 10-24 bolts and use the factory holes (opened up a bit). This is just me playing around and trying make something useful while I get good at setting up my printer, so it's not perfect or production quality...

Here is a pic of the bracket in the panel (some of the brackets have square edges, that's what I had expected).

If you want one, it is all yours, PM me and I'll drop it in a flat rate box for ya

Cool offer Thanks. I will wait till the switch panel get delivered and compare to the blue sea and let you know.

2000 here. I got the wires through. Wasn't the easiest but take your time and its doable. Generally wiring in tight spaces isn't the most fun.

Thanks! As soon as I got it out I realized it was going to be tough to paint it and and maintain OEM finish. So I just shelled out the cash for an OEM replacement. Not cheap, but it looks much better. Also, be careful installing. The silver paint is very easy to scratch/scuff. I already have a small hairline scratch to the left of the seat heater switches. Here's my order info:

Nice, what’s the wheel paint brand and color? I did a set with Duplacolor Wheel Paint “Graphite”

Thanks! I used Rust-Oleum, primer, paint and clear. I've seen your truck around the forum, I'm a big fan!

I had the fan pulley bracket seize on the way home from work Tuesday and tear the serpentine belt in two. I drove it another 25 miles back to the hotel without power steering and the battery light on and ordered an aisin timing belt kit, aisin pulley bracket, aisin thermostat, Toyota cam seals, toyota front crank seal, bando serpentine belt, two gallons of oe coolant, a toyota tensioner, and some fipg. I checked the tracking yesterday and the parts are week out so last night I picked up a Dorman fan pulley bracket and belt at the local oreilly's and installed them in the hotel parking lot with a work light. Kinda sucked but got her done in a little under 3 hrs. Back on the road today. I'll do the belt in the next few weeks at MY convenience and replace that Dorman junk with the aisin bracket.

Impressive! I've done a few timing belts on 2UZ's. Changing the fan bracket is 80% of the way there. None of them were done in a hotel parking lot. Good for you getting it back up and running. Getting all the OEM/Aisin parts installed will be a nice piece of mind.

Replaced my front, upper console (58804-60131) today. For the past two years I had my old one covered with double-sided tape and black fabric which looked okay but I figured it was time to just replace it.

One thing to note, it came with the updated cupholder style with the larger recesses and butterfly cupholder thing. Now if only I could figure out how to remove the shift knob and replace the awful looking shifter surround...

Still waiting for the install......hopefully my phone doesn’t die!

New aftermarket wheel. Wood isn’t a match but this is way better than the cracked oem wheel.

is the tan a match? it looks off in that photo as well. looks like a match with the lower center console trim. I've been eyeing these on ebay recently

Flushed the coolant, changed the tee’s and radiator hoses.

Do you have a link to those hoses? Looks clean!

Silicone Hose Kit - Automotive Products - 2007 - Toyota Land Cruiser

got you!

Thanks! Yes, like JNO, posted, I bought them from HPS. Kinda pricey tho. They give you the clamps with the hoses. FYI, the lower radiator hose that hooks onto the lower part of the radiator uses a different clamp. The diameter is slightly larger than the other 3 connections. Hope that makes sense. Fits perfectly.

Thanks for the info. So they send the correct clamp for the lower hose? I might get the kit with all of the hoses. Might look cool to have a bunch of red hoses.

Today I put in Slee 30mm rear spring spacers and cranked the torsion bars. I followed advice I found here and it took about 1.5 hours and wasn't a hard job. The drivers side TB is bottomed out and still a bit low so tomorrow I'll be reindexing the torsion bars. Glad I have a rust free vehicle!

Next weekend I'll finally have time to install the new oem front CV shafts and upper control arms. Maybe I can finally get rid of that vibration I've had since the dealer put in crappy aftermarket shafts.
