What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (66 Viewers)

[wngrog]

One other thing that happened when the right rear brakes went metal to metal.....

The rust shavings got into the dirt and dust that was on the wheel and flash rusted to the point that I could not get it off.

I ended up having to polish it out with a wire wheel on my drill and WD40.

After I got it all off I put wheel polish on it to protect where I may have gotten into the clear

I thought it was ruined but the best looking 100 series wheel ever is back and bright and good for another 21 years

Completed some visible and not-visible maintenance. On the visible side, installed brand new headlights, with a proper HID conversion, courtesy of @Luke111. It was a very nice straight forward install, and they "look" great -- haven't had a chance to try at night yet.

On the invisible side, I replaced all the AHC globes with new OEM ones, and torqued the torsion bars to get the pressures back to spec. It rides like it's on a cloud (better than I ever remember...)

...and finally on the invisible, and totally free side (for once), I re-programmed my key to unlock all the doors on the first press, instead of fiddling with the double click to unlock them all.

Really great looking truck!

I installed some amber lights in my grill this weekend. Installed them from the back so they hardly show until they are turned on. Pretty happy with the look.

Installed ARB 2000 awning on passenger side of truck. Used LP adapter plates to fit it to Yakima load warrior rack with extension.

Just need a sunny day to test it. Waiting for spacer plates for trail tailor recovery point install. Trying to add enough weight to put on my king springs!

Was in California for over a week by mistake. Back in Florida now.

How did you reprogram your key?

 

[serran8r]

Bought mine!
2005 lx470 200K plus miles.
Getting ready for the adventure.

Installed LED turn signal relay, no more hyper-flash!! Yay!!

 

[ccodeman]

New terrain tamer rotors and EBC yellow stuff pads

 

[sonk76]

How did you reprogram your key?

I used the Techstream to plugin to the car, and then used the vehicle customization options to change the behavior. You can separately change how the remote works, vs. how the actual door mechanism in the drivers door affects the other door locks--I changed both.

This. I want this “yay” too!
Do you happen to have link, or information to aim me in the right direction to find one?
Thank you.

Nice! I'm doing that today! Thanks for the info amigo.

Quick question, what did you tap into for powering the lights? Did you run all the way to fuse panel or just tap parking lights?

I used the following relay:

JDM ASTAR Auto LED Bulbs,LED Headlight,Fog Lamps & Turn Signal Brake Tail Light

Unmatched quality & high performance auto LED bulbs,LED headlight,fog lamps, DRL,Work Light & turn signal brake tail light

www.jdmastar.com

Along with the help of Soreneagles YouTube video as a location and how-to reference:

Though instead of actually taking the old relay off/out, I left it there just disconnected the old one and connected the new one and ziptied it up under to another set of wires so not to flop around, works great!!

Just tapped into the parking light. I don’t think these use enough power to make a difference.

Made some brackets for my BD S2pros

I actually like the hyper flash, I feel it gets people attention more
