What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (48 Viewers)

That sounds way easier than my forward (too far), reverse (dang it), forward (ope almost), reverse (got it) method

Yep, been there, done that. I’m definitely not as good as I think at spacial distance as I think I am

I lift the front, put a chock behind a rear wheel and then put the truck in neutral. Then you can spin the front drive shaft to get it in position.

Then I do the same procedure for the rear: chock behind the front wheel, raise the rear and in neutral, you can spin the driveshaft to get the nipples in the right position

When putting it in neutral you should just pop that little tab next to the shift and manually put it in neutral. Way better than putting the key in and turning it to ACC (I think) so that it will let you shift to N.

Oh yeah, forgot about that option.

Played in the rocks and mud. Will have to recruit a photog with vehicle and wheeling experience (though, to her credit she enjoyed the ride).

This last weekend I participated in a group cleanup out in the desert at Ocotillo Wells SVRA. The truck did great both on the 3 hour drive each way and the few hours driving around cleaning up trash. I did get some intermittent noise from the power steering so today my 4 year old son helped me change out the PS fluid. We did it the lazy way and just drained and refilled the resv. about 5 times. After each drain and refill I would run the engine and turn the wheel lock to lock a couple times. After the 4th time the fluid was coming out bright red. Time will tell if this made any difference.

Some pictures from Saturday.

No more PRND2L on the dash. Don’t need to worry about the D light going out.

Removed the grill and emblem, masked the perimeter, cleaned the grill fins with chlorinated brake cleaner, and sprayed with Rustoleum 'Metallic Black Night'. After 23 years and 309K miles, the original grill paint was slightly chipped. This just spiffs it up a bit. Everyone but Ace Hardware was sold out of this paint, and you'll pay 2x any else's price at Ace, but at least I found it.

interesting! Word to the wise: when the P light bulb fails, it can cause weird issues in starting the car etc. If that happens the only cure is to replace the P bulb with another regular OEM bulb (not an LED one). With this cover you won't know if the P bulb goes out.

Luckily it is uber rare to have the P bulb fail!

 

[sr5pickup]

Thanks! I actually pulled all the bulbs and had wondered if that might trigger an issue. So far haven’t noticed anything as of yet but will update the post if it does.

Manual transmission swap, or just the indicator delete?

Had an opportunity on Tuesday to do a run out to Joshua Tree National Park. Drove the "Old Dale Mine trail" out to Hwy. 62.

No problems for stock UZJ100.

Not any fun, but I dropped it off to fix two oil leaks that have been getting worse. Replaced the oil filter bracket housing and o-ring as well as the rear main seal. $1,600 later and I’m finally done baselining my new rig. Last thing I need to do is my front and rear sway bar bushings and end links when they get here Friday.

Damn that looks good. Saving this for when I do my grill. I just blacked out the emblems and the grill now looks bad next to it.

 

[shtbrwn86]

the Lexus badge on the tailgate came off in a car wash so I bought a new one. Always thought black emblems looked good on white cars so I plastidipped them black and I think it turned out nice.

I bid farewell to the annoying heavy brake dust.

Back to OEM.

Back to OEM.

I’m about to order some OE as well.

I’ve never done this job before. Any advice or how-to write ups or videos to share?

Which pads were you using before?

This can be a good walkthrough:

EBC Green Stuff, too much brake dust for my liking.
