What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (37 Viewers)

[yngmrostrvile]

Still chasing the P0171 (I am trying to do everything short of pulling the fuel injectors!) - replaced the upstream O2 sensors (Denso 234-4169).
Plan was to also replace the downstream O2 sensors but took one look at the state of nuts and decided it 19F is too freaking cold to deal with this. Anyone has any ideas how to deal with this without resorting to cutting and welding?

Did you check for vacuum leaks?

Did you check for vacuum leaks?

I have, visually and by spraying carb cleaner around the pipes.

Intake gasket?

I had an upstream drivers side o2 sensor go bad on me and also a coolant temp sensor go bad around the same time. I still had CEL after replacing sensor, turned out the harness was buggered up just aft of the sensor. Anyways, might want to give it a look.

Some needed organization. Thanks @Victory 4x4

I just did the same thing. Mine isn’t nearly as stocked as yours though, I’m just rocking the winter snow brush. It should look a bit different come summer camping season.

Copious amount of PB blaster soaking for a day or so and a good pair of vise-grip locking pliers.

As @JunkCrzr89 stated copious amounts of PB Blaster and vice grips. Also look up Turbo Sockets, they might do the trick if vice grips won’t.

Installed extended sway bar links (Trail Taylor) in the front. Took 7 hrs because of a stuck & then stripped bolt on the PS lower bolt.

Also tried replacing the two sway bar bushings in the center but apparently purchased the wrong size. When reinstalling the bracket that holds the bushing i couldn't get the rearward bolt to go in. Gave up, will try again latter.

That is my biggest hesitation with the drawers and a rear bumper. I will have to carry all that extra weight around at all times because I'd need it 3 times a year! May I ask what is a drop slide? Is it a fridge slide that tilts forward to make it easier to get in the fridge?

Drop slide is to bring the fridge from drawers down to tail-gate level, but keeping it level. Very handy but just a bit heavy.

What brand and weight springs are you running in the rear? I see you have Dobinsons 3" (shocks?). I have an aluminum box and a similar amount of weight planned for the rear.

We have OME shocks with 3" Dobinson 400kg constant load springs in the rear, which was borderline for the weight we had, but now with the drawers out, it seems better.

Thanks for the info and pic. I'm also running the 400kg rear springs. The lift in the picture looks about like mine at present I'll see how it goes with the box.

These are far better that vise grips, the brut force part of the second favorite tool in my tool box..brut force and ignorance.

Mocking up some sliders. Thinking about using this 2x2x1/8" tube i have as the main bar. Then building outriggers from 1.75" DOM tube.

69" seems to be about right for the length. I'll 45 the ends and cap them.

Is it not a little short on the front?

Maybe slightly. This section was already cut to 69". I could maybe go to 70.5" or so. What are some of the off the shelf sliders length for the 100?

Most are 70-71”

Tried to get the rig smog checked in Cali. Was told that the rear left catalytic convert is only approved for the front left position. (I hate this state).

Also changed all the dash gauge lights to white led. Super happy with that.

So... Meh. 50/50

Completed AHC delete with 2002 LC torsion bars and springs. Went with Bilstein 4600s. Ride is nice and cushy like my old LC.

We took our 100 out to Oceano Dunes, aired-down the tires, and spent some quality time in the sandbox. Felt like we had miles of back dunes to ourselves

 

[ClassyJalopy]

Intake gasket?

Yeah, I was hoping the spraying around the perimeter of the intake would point to that but it didn't. Perhaps it's worth spending some quality time with the intake once it warms up here.

I had an upstream drivers side o2 sensor go bad on me and also a coolant temp sensor go bad around the same time. I still had CEL after replacing sensor, turned out the harness was buggered up just aft of the sensor. Anyways, might want to give it a look.

What codes did you get?

My biggest worry is that the posts themselves might just break out from their seat or worse yet, I will crack the pipe itself. I guess I will tackle this when it gets a little nicer - weather wise.
