What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (67 Viewers)

[TheDan]

Never heard of this paint. I use some Krylon stuff and it keeps chipping where the kids and i step onto the slider. How does this hold up to being stepped on?

I will let you know in a few months, if you look at the metaltech slider group buy thread from this spring/summer there were a few people who used the same/or the same brand paint in a different variety. They will be able to speak for the durability better than i can at the time.

Roughly how many rattle cans did you end up using? Did you use the self etching primer? Slider painting may be in my near future

I used 3 cans. (Bought a 6pack of them for not much more than 3 cost)

Installed some trail tailor extended front swaybar links. Impressions from riding around the block... Wow. I have an OME lift and while I don't mind the stiffness I was noticing some harshness in absorbing bumps in the front. Almost jarring. After some research through the forum I decided to try these before removing my swaybar completely. Well, they are 100% worth every cent. Soaks up bumps and road noise now. Wish I had done this sooner. If you have an OME lift and think it's too harsh, try this prior to swapping in new shocks or a new lift. Waiting on the rears in the mail

Lowered my bed platform so I could sit up in the back to put on my shoes, pull up my pants, etc. It is now only 6" above the floor, so I'm using these sturdy Rubbermaid trays to hold basic camping equipment and tools. Works great!

Installed my @Ramathorn15 puddle lights and LOVE them. I’ve had a lot of compliments : more than any other mod I’ve made. These are a really high quality piece of gear. I went with the version with relays so these come on with the dome light and I also have a switch. FYI it’s hard taking pictures of lights but they look sweet in person.



Also changed to M1 5w-30, tore apart and lubed my gas pedal assembly, and kept scratching my head about my wind noise.

Its finally done! And just in time to go wheeling tomorrow. Can't wait to do a shakedown run and use the compressor. I'm so very tired of airing up at gas stations every time we go out.

Looks clean, how'd this turn out for you? Did you document in a thread anywhere?

This is very nice paint. It goes on very smoothly and cures very hard. Prep well and let cure for a week and it is very durable. Still, it is paint, and rocks will scrape it up. It's called chassis and roll bar paint, and neither of these are really designed to slide over rocks.
Good luck,
Dave

How did you clean and live your gas pedal, and did it work? I’m assuming that was to get rid of the grabbing/jerkiness?

Started unassing this 2001 I bought for my son of the dopey fender flares and running boards

 

[dchilds]

Is that self tapper a custom mod by the previous owner or is it supposed to be there?

 

[dchilds]

It might be different for early models. My 2004 is drive by wire. I took the assembly out (two 10mm bolts and a plug). I pulled it all apart and cleaned everything really well. The squeak/bind was coming from the little black piece of plastic that the big goldish-colored spring wraps around. That little piece has an internal spring in it. The pivot/pin that’s welded to the pedal itself routes through this piece of plastic. I soaked the innards with silicone spray. Lightly greased the outside of the plastic piece and put it all back together. Smooth as butta.

@rjones—thanks for the part number—glad to have it in case I ever need a replacement.

Bizarrely it looks like McGeorge Toyota’s website thinks they can get these...

Wheel Disc - Toyota (42611-60D30) | Toyota Parts

42611-60D30

I think he's correct about the 79 series (expand the "This part fits to" after the link loads):
Toyota 42611-60D30 (4261160D30) - Amayama

EBay ad from the UAE where the shipping is as much as the wheel.

Turned out great man, exactly as I planned. I've used the compressor about a dozen or more times now for my truck and others... unfortunately winter has been trying hard to close all of the trails around here, so I haven't used it much in the last few weeks. Dual battery and ACR are working as planned and engage/disengage as the voltage spikes/drops. Can't wait for spring so I can put it through the ringer camping next year.

I have not documented this in a build thread, I just posted some random updates in this mega thread to get buried lol. I've thought about doing a build thread but I'm too busy (read: lazy) for that.

Rear diff lock light would just blink suggesting not engaged NO matter what i would do... unlike the 80. So i took the actuator off the axle and did the following:

Disassembled.
cleaned brushes.
cleaned comm ( the part where the brushes touch) i think thats what its called.
cleaned the 3 contact looking fingers where the spur gear lives
cleaned the contact plate that the 3 fingers touch.
cleaned the solenoid.
glued one of the magnet back on the housing.

I dont know what specifically fixed it....but all of the above got it working...hth.
