What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (54 Viewers)

[Otter]

I ran 4 gauge from the battery to a circuit breaker in engine bay, then to power post in the rear cargo area. Connected my Puma compressor directly to the power post and everything else is connected through a blue sea fuse block, including fridge, RTT power, and aux outlets. My solar charger controller is also connected to the power posts. Neg power post is grounded to the frame in the rear.

I'm running a single group 31 X2 AGM, and I've been running it for years with no problems. The solar keeps it topped off. I carry a lithium jump pack just in case.

Where did you run your power? I'm going to install a BlueSea fuse block in the rear cabin and run my power to that. I've got 10 gauge cable coming from the battery to the block and then grounded the block to the frame. Figure I'll run 16 gauge wiring for the plugs.

I just installed the same @BenCC 3d printed part in my LX. I have a 4gauge from the battery, ran to the passenger side and ran it to under the passenger seat. I then split the 4 gauge into two 8 gauge. One of the 8 guage goes to a small 4 fuse Blue Sea. Then I ran two 12 gauge wires under the carpet coming up into the center console rear for one 12V outlet and the same dual 2.4 usb that your quoted picture shows. I'm not sure how he got the usb outlets to mount so deep into the 3d printed part, I tried that and my rear panel wouldn't snap back into place, even with using flag connectors. I ran 2 loops of 16 gauge primary wire around the outlet to push it forward enough for the panel to clip back on, and it looks kinda better being almost flush mounted, to me anyways. Mine aren't always on, i'm running a 30A relay wired to the ignition so I need to keep mine under 30A on the Blue Sea fuse block. I'm already at 22.5A (15A for the 12V and 7.5A for the USB) so it doesn't look like i'll be adding anything else to the other 2 open fuse slots.

Started my second row platform.

 

[Eighteen11R]

Found a younger MUD'r who had sold his '03 LC with a K&N Cold Air Intake for sale. Brendan and I came to terms yesterday and I went to work this morning...

Once I pulled this off the engine, the front end came up ~1/2". Can you say restrictor plate racer?

 

[Eighteen11R]

The results look very clean and neat.

The fit and finish are very good. The only setback I had this morning was dropping a nylock nut down into the depths of the engine bay never to be seen again So I had to make a run to Lowe's for it's replacement.

The test drive went beautifully. There is now a V8 growl under acceleration where once it sounded like a Tesla.

I used to have a 2003 tundra with the 4.7 and this intake... its making me want one for the lexus now haha

 

[Kabanstva]

I have an SRT intake on my GS430. Was one of hte first mods I did when I got the car ten years ago. It completely transforms the sound of the UZ motor. Even better if you have a catback exhaust.

What's the downside of doing this on a 100? How would that hold up to water and mud? My engien bay looks like hell after every trip. I literally spend hours pressure washing everything to get all the mud off. On the GS, I always cover the open air filter with a bag to not get it wet.

Anybody have experience with doing this mod on a LX?

 

[2020 Rocks]

Changed DS front o2 sensor after CEL code P0135, short test drive later and no CEL. I guess I’ll know for sure soon enough. Now I just need to clean up the camper for upcoming Ohiopyle State Park trip.

 

[highkick05]

Trico Force windscreen wipers to replace the old wipers on FZJ105R that were making an insane EEEK, SCRAATTCCHH sound back and forth. (probably still original)
These are really good replacements. Absolutely silent like a new car now, slightly clips driver side windscreen moulding at fastest speed so I may adjust position slightly. other than that brilliant wipers



20" drivers side (this is max size for driverside)
22" passenger (tempted to see if a 24" would fit as there is still an inch or so room)

Note: Manual states these are both suppoosed to be 20", and I did measure the old and they were exactly that.

Hi!

Dunno if this is any use to you. Maybe check that connector for corrosion.

10 months ago had done new suction control valve,additional ground lead for EDU and new connections to the spill control valve. All this done by service shop. I think I need to check remaining wires from spill control valve.

would this work with a 2007 model?

 

[geanes]

Have been considering a dedicated GMRS radio for months now. Low and behold, Midland runs a 20% flash sale on the MXT275 this morning (ended at noon). So............$120 all in was too good to pass up.

go with the 40w rookie

 

[geanes]

go with the 40w rookie

LOL. 15w with solid 6db antenna will work for my GMRS needs. I've got no room for the 40w unit. Wish they had a removable faceplate option. The HAM pushes out 50w

 

[UTadventures]

Getting ready for a couple days in Moab, so the running boards came off. We’ll see if my better half likes it or not next week. Meanwhile about 5 lbs of stone and sand hoses out of them...

Simple add of a new transfer case knob.View attachment 1996736

Anyone knows where to get this?
