What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (55 Viewers)

[Bisho]

It’s been a busy week since I returned from MI. Heading to CO the end of the week and several thing need attention all at once. The fan bracket bearing failed prompting a timing belt job. PO did a cheapo version and everything was ready to be changed. I’m just grateful I made it home. Repacked wheel bearings. I also got the transfer case out to replace the seals. Not fun and I’m not looking forward to putting it back in, but I need to finish it up tomorrow.

It is very satisfying to start it up and hear it purr. Thanks @OTRAMM for a great video series.

4xs. Well, 3. I had to return one. Waiting for a new one again. Just hopping it won't be six more weeks of rain inside my door as I wait. I taped it up so as to mitigate the inevitable electrical gremlins .

Finally picked up and installed sliders on the grocery getter.

What sliders are these?

Today I chopped up my rear bumper with mixed results… I think. Because of my hitch receiver tire carrier it was a real struggle to access the hitch pin and with my up coming RV trip I don’t know if I will have enough clearance to run the tire carrier with the trailer so this is the result.

I’m gonna order up some bumper trim to hide the hack of a job I did cutting straight lines and curves. Cutting this bumper material is a huge pain because it melts and flings scorching hot shards of burning rubber everywhere.

White Knuckle to the rescue. A little primer, paint, and some u bolts. Don’t forget about the brake lines on the inside of the driver side frame.

Installed and carpeted an Air Down Gear Up premier package in the LX.

AirDownGearUp SS1: Storage, Sleeper and Drawer System for 100 series

This system as it stands is the result of two enthusiasts seeking more functionality from the 100 series cargo area with a smaller investment and more versatility than the existing product offerings. The system is lightweight and designed to be a bolt in, plug and play product with the ability...

What receiver do you have for that cutout in the stock bumper? Need to buy one..

Had it custom made.

I replaced the front output shaft seal in the transfer case and got it back in with the help of my son, some creative jacking and a whole heap of God’s blessing. Just plane ran out of time to do the rear, but it’s not leaking (yet) and you can do that one on the truck.

That was not fun…
But now I own a press…
And how on earth have I gone this long without a locking ring pliers. I could have saved lots of cuss words if I knew about them and spent the $15 years ago.

After I turn off the Diff Lock my VSC lights remain on. The only thing I found that works to get them to turn off is turn key off and restart. This is on a 2000 LC. Am I doing something wrong? Hoping this is something simple like a fuse.

A couple of thoughts: Have you run an OBD II scan to see if there are any codes? Also, if there is a TRAC button try pressing that to see if that turns off the lights. The most likely scenario is probably a code of some sort. Any number of things can activate those warning lights. You could also pull the negative battery cable for 20+ minutes and reset the entire vehicle. But I would try to find a solution/code before doing that.

With this under your belt, do you think dropping the transfer case is necessary for just the output seals?

Also curious about this.

This happens to me intermittently as well. I believe the computer is losing the signal to the diff lock switch which trips it. I’ve noticed no loss of functionality on the trail (ATRAC still works) so I stopped worrying about it.

Well, I would definitely recommend trying AT-205 first. I did and that bought me 18 months, until my MI trip, where I must have gotten some debris in there in a water crossing. There was a cut on the seal.

Unfortunately there is no other way to replace the front seal without dropping the transfer case. The housing won’t clear the transmission pan.

New bumpers and sliders last week.
