Have been chasing a P0115 code for a couple weeks now. Did a coolant flush and replaced heater Ts while I was in there. One completely snapped with minimal force moving the hoses around. Definitely +1 for do your Ts sooner than later
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (53 Viewers)

There was a mud member that found a GM part that is identical for much less. I believe it was @Rhetoric

New Falken Wildpeak AT4s with matte black Toyota LC 16" wheels.
And removed the front hitch. Required an actual torque wrench to remove one of the bolts.
Next up is to remove the running boards and start on the Coastal rear DIY bumper! That should start Friday & Saturday.
Need to adjust to torsion bars to get it closer to level. Significant height difference unloaded. The bumper parts, front hitch and my tool bag are currently in the rear, so there's even more height difference with no weight in it.

Truck looks good!
Please don't use a torque wrench to remove stuck bolts - that messes up their caliberation. A large cheater bar is cheap and more effective in pursuading stubborn bolts.

It looks like he's maybe no longer a member, but a Google search turned this up:
ETA not sure why @Rhetoric wasn't pulling up in the search, but he's still here. Here's a link to his original post.

Was gonna say; I definitely cringed when I read this especially thinking of an expensive MacTools or snap on torque wrench.
Thanks.
I was on the verge of making a cheater bar for a wrench from a piece of heavy wall pipe, but the mount was tucked up underneath the front bumper and I couldn't get a bar on a wrench.
The torque wrench in question was from on of our company install trucks and is way past it's calibration date, so I wasn't worried about it. I looked at the calibration date, used it, and put it in for calibration afterwards.

Lemme know how the rear bumper build goes! I'm definitely interested in a Coastal at some point.
Wash and wax before winter. A couple months ago I bought a new OEM fender to replace the previous one that had a snorkel hole in it. Also earlier this year I retrofitted some morimoto mled 2.0 into the stock headlights. This week I aimed them down a touch.
Oh Christmas tree, Oh...Knicked the Yellowbox harness at the transfer case on the White Rim road a few weeks ago (no idea how, it's above a Slee skid) and lost the speedo. Patched it, but a wet drive (uncommon here) yesterday and now the truck thinks it's in park, no matter what gear it's in. Door locks are controlled by magic now, or the devil, or...IDK.
Passed 200k In typical 100 fashion. D light still works
In typical 100 fashion meaning "needs gas"? 
I swapped out my fuel sending float in the tank and now if I see that light, I have 200’ to find a gas station lol. Don’t know what happened but my miles to empty are actually miles to dead empty.In typical 100 fashion meaning "needs gas"?
On Thanksgiving, I realize that I am thankful for making good choices in life, unlike the owner next to me.
Happy Thanksgiving mudders

Though the 100 has a semi floating rear axle, it might be stronger than the full floating 80.
FZJ80 has 30 spline axle shafts. Rear axle is rated at 3,970 lbs
UZJ100 has 32 spline axle shafts. Rear axle is rated at 4,300 lbs

The way I wheel, i’m going to break whatever’s underneath the truck but a FF would be easier to ride off the trail.

I agree and you can mod the FF80 axle to take 32 spline axle shafts as well. I double doggy dare you to break a narrowed 2nd Gen Tundra 10.5" SF with 35 spline axle shafts though.
