For your calipers, did you go aftermarket? Bleeding, did you go old school two person method, or did you use tech stream? I ask because I think one of my rear calipers is sticking, and I want to tackle this as soon as possible.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (60 Viewers)

The tubbing for 37s will continue until morale improves... I think there is room for 38s... one

That’s how a few of mine looked when I was replacing my plugs last year. I put them back in and it’s been running fine since. I know where to start looking if problems start though.All 8 coil packs are cracked, O2 Sensor going out (P0420), and 8 spark plugs
Popping $800+ in a week is not ideal, but neither is getting 6.6MPG. I'm hoping that I'm onto something here.

I think Denso is the OEM coil - those should be cheaper.All 8 coil packs are cracked, O2 Sensor going out (P0420), and 8 spark plugs

Denso coils are $50 a piece on Rock Auto and yes, they are the OEM manufacturer.
Denso Iridium TT plugs are $6 a pop
How many miles on your truck? I am assuming that those are the original coils. As others have stated the OEM are Denso.All 8 coil packs are cracked, O2 Sensor going out (P0420), and 8 spark plugs

that's one big, ugly, dang that I don't ever want to meet!
Aftermarket calipers from TRQ/1a auto. DOT-3 brake fluid.
Old school wife in the driver’s seat, crack, pump, close, repeat.
305K, original as far as I can tell. Plugs have been done previously, I think ~40k ago
Just finished up the install of the Ironman front bumper on my ‘04 LX470. Pretty straight forward install and it definitely upgraded the front end imho. Next up is a winch…

Fixed a clunk...
I must say, i'm not a huge fan of the LEXUS grille, but with the bumper and hoops on it makes the whole look work together.
Yeah, I am still on the fence on the grill and may eventually switch back to my OEM lol. I do agree, it does look better when it is not the highlight of the front end.
What parts are these? could you list them out? I've been replacing everything I can think of in pursuit of the clunk (CVs, hub flanges, diff bushings, as well as UCAs). The last thing I can think of (outside of backlash in the diffs somewhere) is motor mounts.
So I don’t get tempted to retaliate to oncoming joy high beamers, getting too old for road rage, I’ll just squint momentarily.
Aluminum or steel? estimated weight? Looks good.
Replaced the alternator and plug housing. Life is good again, even if it is with cut-up hands.

Thanks for the before and after... I think mine is looking more like before than after. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it. I assume "after" is at idle?
Yes, the image was taken at idle. I have a 1999 and recommend removing the alternator from the top by unbolting the steering pump (not removing it, keep it connected), air box, and top vertical radiator hose. Don't wait too long; it's a simple enough job and is better than getting stranded. If you are under 14V at idle with a basic voltmeter, its time. I waited too long and ended up pushing her home part way, LOL.
