Aren't you worried about water getting into that open connector? I've seen this on many exotic cars at work because their batteries die after sitting for a day, but never considered this as an option on an offroad truck. My engine bay looks like crap after hitting a few trails.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (34 Viewers)

Changed the old today. Also got.the mud flap delete delivered today. Painted them and put them on..looks so much better
Ordered new diff bushing arms from partsouq and the front Febest diff bushings. Also ordered SPC rear lower control arms. I hope this concludes my suspension refresh. I need to stop spending on my LC or my wife is going to think I have a 2nd family. lol

Finally removed the running boards.
What aircraft stripper? The Rustoleum gets good reviews but is tough to find...and Summit is 2-weeks out on expected ship date.
Kleanstrip’s new (legal) formula gets horrible reviews.
Thanks!
Painted my wheels, installed some free KO2s I scored at work (stock size but 90% tread) and removed the running boards.
Next weekend I'll be installing my MT4x4 sliders and making my own mud flap deletes
The KO2s ride a lot more rough than the old street tires but it's worth it.

Looks good! I suppose I'm weird, I like the look of mudflaps!
Is your "enthusiastic" pit crew available for hire?
(My son is much less enthusiastic, unless he gets to take his work for a "test drive".)
I agree with mud flaps. Where I live they are a must. Horrible muddy, rocky roads that throw stones and splash everywhere. Same goes for running boards. My wife is 5 ft 2. If I removed her step, she would give me more than the evil eye.
Took them both out today

My wife is 5’2” as well, we’ll see how it goes! She drives a first gen sequoia with running boards.
My wife is 5ft 1in. She never used the steps. The kids used them, but they have adjusted to getting in without them.
The 12V outlet no as it’s sealed with a gasket. The line in connection yes slightly. It has a crappy shipping protector over the contacts but I need to find a better solution.

Installed my new @TRAIL TAILOR stainless steel rear light/antennae brackets! Will be mounting and hooking up lights soon.
Replaced the heater T's and hoses. How I failed to do this previously is beyond me, but there the new ones were in the back of a drawer of parts I was looking through. I bought them over 4 years ago. The old one on the driver's side crumbled while removing it, but the passenger side T looked like it would have lasted a lot longer.
How big of a tire will fit now? I want to do this to accommodate a 295/70/18 if possible...
I wanted to do this mod to tuck the spare a little in but one look at the rusty state of the spare lift mounting bolts and I knew it wasn't worth it
