Looks good man. Did you install your Pioneer head unit, or do you have a shop in SLC you'd recommend to do it? I've been reading up on stereo threads for a while and I'm just not sure if I want to tackle it myself.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (16 Viewers)

Thanks for the compliment @ikarus.
I don't do electrical so Car Fi in Sandy did the ham install, Laketown Speed and Sound did the h/u install and a shop in South Jordan that moved then went under did the speakers and amps.
I took the LC back into Laketown last month b/c there was engine noise coming through the speakers and they re-grounded everything free of charge since the install is a lifetime warranty.
Also, one of the guys at Laketown has an LX470 so he's familiar with these rigs. I recommend both places.

Nice, thanks! Yeah I do electrical work sometimes, but I don't enjoy it. haha. I'll check them out
I ordered new OEM steering rack and tie rods from American Toyota in Alb. Don was helpful, got my 25% High Desert Cruisers discount ! $ 676 + tax
Is the oem main bushing the best way to go for the rack? or poly bushing?

Awesome. I guess you found yourself a 100?
Thats right Virgil, Thanks to the HDC for posting it. It was 1 owner vehicle bought for 52,000 $ new from American Toyota 240k ago,
We picked it up for 4,400 $! I want to build this the right way, I.m like a sponge for 99 UZJ100 info right now! I need to start a thread.

Either OE or poly large bushing will work well. FYI the poly bushing kit includes the two smaller poly bushings too, but the new rack comes with new small OE rubber bushings installed already. If you want to remove the small rubber OEs and install the polys you can do that, but it looks like a hassle.
When I did my rack I bought the poly kit but only used the large bushing out if it. I left the small new rubber OE bushings in place. Haven't hurtled off a cliff yet...
BTW, in case you haven't seen it this is the helpful .pdf for DIY steering rack replacement: How To: Replace your own steering rack
Thanks for the 411 Ayune, appreciate it! I did read this thread last month, I will read it again. I'm a 40 guy new to the 100 world.
truth be told, I drilled some holes and used zip ties. They are kind of wedged in there, but they still need alittle something extra. I might push them forward a little to make them more pronounced.
Started a little project today....
You get the idea. Next up, lots of sanding, some fiberglass, fabrication more sanding and paint! It will be ready in about six months!

I'll share the whole thing after HIH
Damn, you’re a tease. I feel like a guy w/ a case of the blue balls after a date w/ a supermodel.

Installed OEM Tundra steel wheels with 275/70 KO2's
Is it doing it every time? Mine started with weak starts about two years prior to it fully failing, and started with the mis-mesh noises about six months prior to it fully failing. I'd fix it sooner rather than later if I were you so you don't end up stranded
Yep, they're 18" Tundra wheels powder coated. Was inspired by others here who've done the same.
So two days ago I was driving about 450km's / 280miles and sometimes along the trip I heard a grinding sound from the left front. I stopped to check what is was but couldn't find anything. When I got home I jacked up the car and checked for play in the wheel bearing, there was very little. I'll tackle this later I thought.
One day later, yesterday, I drove past my house and when I hit the speedbump a very loud grinding noise appreared, I turned around and got the cruiser into the workshop, this is what I found:
I had replaced the other side a few weeks ago and had another Terrain Tamer wheel bearing kit laying around, I had some trouble getting the old wheel bearing off. There was some scoring on the spindle but nothing too bad. In two hours I was driving again.

Can't believe how much timing belt has gone up. Last time at Toyota it was 800+. This time it was $1300! 
. At least the last belt went 120k miles. On a lighter note: The irony of the words Theft Deterrent Design on my factory cassette player🕴
Still strong!
