What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (44 Viewers)

[shane431]

Replaced 8 spark plugs and ignition coils with all Denso parts at 291K. The last 6,000 miles have worn out my wallet.......
- 285K Tensioner belt pulley
- 286K Cooling fan pulley
- 287K Brake Master cylinder
- 287K A/C line leak and recharge
- 290K rear brake pads and rotor
- 291K ignition coils and spark plugs

Let's go ahead and update the list.....
- real axle seal leak
- lower ball joints
- front drive flanges (didn't need it but trying to get rid of clunk when shifting to D or R) It helped!

Still need to do.....
- Upper ball joints or may just replace whole upper control arms.
- Tie rod ends

Damn my wallet!

I feel like replacing the whole UCA is a much easier than just doing the ball joints.

...and usually come with new A-Arm bushings. So another thing off the list, pre-installed.

I saw that. Anyone have luck with partsgeek? I’ve heard mixed reviews.

Ordered my UCAs from them, no issues whatsoever.

I ordered mine from them and after a week of waiting I got a refund for one and received the other, in 555 branded bag, with little communication involved. Every other time I’ve had a good experience with them. I bought 2 Chinese fenders from them for $450 shipped, with zero issues.

I have some if the first extended travel IMS to hit the states. I've always loved them from day one. I'm moving them to a different LC. They have at least 40,000 miles on them.

Check your front diff mounts.

 

[drbobbysaget]

Window tint, new fan clutch, new thermostat, rear swing out bumper, new roof rack, built a sleeping platform... bout to go on a weekend excursion, so I was under the gun to get a few last min things done this week.

 

[NearJetties]

New day. Nomad Convoy (+25mm offset) and Falken at4w 285/75r17 (load range C, roughly 34x11.5)

How the heck can they sell them so cheap? They are almost 2/3 cheaper than other vendors for the Sankei 555 control arms. Quality is apparently very high on these.

At $65 each, total replacement is a no brainer compared to changing just the ball joints.

Got the new alternator in. Getting the old one out was way harder; new one slid right in. Also did air filter and cabin air filters.

While I was in there I replaced sparks plugs; and noticed 6/8 coils were cracked. Does anyone know if cracked coils can cause CEL? Because it came on a day later; mechanic will scan it but I preemptively ordered 8 Denso coils.

I replaced 4 of mine a couple months ago due to them being split down the shaft.

They could what code(s) are you getting?

Usually misfires on the affected cylinders, since it shorts out to the head instead of across the spark plug.
