What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (38 Viewers)

[brando1]

I got her back.
She left South Florida over 3 weeks ago. Went to Denver, drove to Ouray, did most of the trails, back to Denver, and then shipped back home. She’s a little worse for the wear( I have some work to do) but I cannot think of a better vehicle to do it in. Glad to have her back and time to start planning the next one. #sanjuanmountainrally.

What size are your tires? Looking forward to seeing it after paint.

They are 285/75-16 Goodyear DuraTrac (E-rated).

 

[Misfit Aye]

Did you plan on shipping her home, or did some things pop up? Long trip from FL for sure.

I shipped her out to Denver, then back to South Florida after my time out there. Unfortunately my occupation makes it a little tough to take two weeks off, so I cannot drive her out there.

Replaced drivers side ball joint have to do passenger side another day. Also picked up almost a brand new set of BFG KO2 from my friend who’s building up his new GX460. Got the set for $400

Finally fixed my Drive/Reverse clunk.

After cross country trips, I bit the bullet and replaced the aftermarket CVs with OEM Toyota axles. At the same time I had the front wheel bearings replaced and the front diff support bracket replaced (using OEM part with the integrated bushing). I wish I could say I did these repairs all myself. $2300 parts and labor for a Land Cruiser specialist to replace the CVs with OEM, new bearings and new diff support. It was not an easy pill to swallow, but I believe their labor charges were fair and I sleep well knowing it was done the right way. With one CV boot torn flinging grease, and the other boot heavily cracked plus a vibration around 70 mph that was not tire related - it was time. With the repairs above, all of these issues are gone. Hoping this is the last set of CVs this truck will need, and I will rebuild if needed from here on out!



PS - previously, using advice from others on this forum, I drew a chalk line on my CVs and pointed a camera at them while I sat parked, engine running and shifted through DNR. You could see and hear the CV move and clunk within the drive flange. That is how I knew the source of the clunk on this rig - plus a friendly point in the right direction from Ryan at OTRAMM.

Do you have the part number for the diff support?

 

[MTrun]

Do you have the part number for the diff support?

Sure thing: 52380-60030
SUPPORT ASSY, FRONT DIFFERENTIAL
Partsouq has the full arm for $86 (easier install)


There are three support points w/bushings on the front diff. Kits from Cruiser Outfitters/Teq carry them all. You have the choice of replacing the support arm as one piece (OEM) or cutting/punching out the bushings and pressing in a new one. Here are the Cruiser teq options if you want to see those

There are some good threads out there on diff support bushings replacement. I found CV replacement was night and day better on my rig, the front diff support arm likely just soffened shifting by getting the hardened rubber swapped out.

I replaced all differential bushings in a matter of 2 hours or less! This thread is for demonstration purposes only: Used parts are shown in the first picture (bottom for front end of the diff, top left Pass side and top right driver side): OEM and Febest for two arms (332 for Pass side and 331...

Good luck!

Hauled 2,200lbs of vinyl plank flooring + trailer weight (~1,100lbs) to the new house and she didn’t even break a sweat. 98° air temps and cruising at 65mph around 2200rpms caused it to briefly touch 188° coolant and 150° trans but it didn’t hang there for long.

Thanks for the help!

Today I ordered a 1up double bike rack and metal tech sliders. Hopefully everything shows up around Labor Day.

Was scheduled to get a new OEM TOYOTA windshield this morning (surprisingly my insurance company approved the $1K cost for genuine TOYOTA and I have no out of pocket on glass), but understandably, Safelite wants the rust addressed first. So I got some estimates and scheduled the work to be done.

After the windshield is professionally removed by Safelite, the collision shop is going to sand down the rust around all four corners of the opening, treat it with POR-15, and then prime, paint, and blend it. I also asked them to paint the rock-chipped grille winglets. $535 is what it’ll cost me. Sure, I probably could’ve gotten it cheaper at some hole-in-the-wall shop, but good work isn’t cheap and cheap work isn’t good.

What look like grind marks are apparently some jack hole’s carelessness with a knife edge to remove the moulding and treat the rust prior. I have the receipt from the previous owner and he didn’t spend very much to address the rust then. It shows.

Fit the acoustic insulated windscreen glass if you able to as it reduces sound and increases comfort levels considerably. Its standard for most of the Lexus models

Replaced this little conveniently located evaporator case seal.. Man that's a tight fit. 184k miles and she'd had enough. No more passenger floorboard drip *the Toyota engineers really dropped the ball on that whole design..

Would you please let me know the X-Code inputs you have to get transmission temp working? Used some that I found in another thread but it didn’t work. I have an 02 and yours looks close enough.

I believe I used this one

ScanGaugeII supports Landcruiser transmission temperature. Here's a pic I took today:

Model year 2000. I'm not sure if I can pull the code I used, but I recall that I found it on the Internet. I think this is the one that worked:

TXD: 686AF101B4
RXF: 044105B40000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00090005FFD8

You can try that and see if it works. You can also label it however you want, I chose TM* (Transmission Degrees) but you can make it any 3 letter code you want.

But if that doesn’t work try these

This code worked on my 05

Scangauge:
TXD: 686AF121B4
RXF: 046105B40000
RXD: 2808
MTH: 00090005FFD8

Heres a thread to research other options: I think the codes that work on the newer 100's are backwards compatible

Transmission temperature on a late model 100 series

And then a more in-depth thread:
Torque app plus bluetooth adapter in my 100

Thanks, I have the code necessary (should have stated that). Looking for the procedure to enter the code (Xcode) into my ScanGauge.


TXD – 686AF101B4

RXF – 044105B40000

RXD – 2808

MTH – 00090005FFD8 for deg Fahrenheit

Spent entire day gutting the interior, to sound deaden and dye the carpet black. Neither needed to be done, carpet looks new and there's no excessive noise into the cabin, just got bored. Driver's seat is at the upholstery place getting a new bottom cover, should get it back mid week.

Going to be whisper quiet in the cabin now.

Was bored after washing and washing the tank and I had some black vinyl still laying stone and thought I’d wrap the chrome bars on the front grille. Not sure how I feel about it

Looks good to me, but I have the same on mine.
I’m definitely going to cover my fogs as well after seeing yours.

Didn't do it all today, but it is coming along very nicely IMO.
