Good! I'm running spidertrax spacers for 7 years, I never trust a shop to torque them. I remove spacers when I need to give it to a shop. Luckily I had zero tire issues with KO2 over 65k miles, a lot of off roading on rocky terrain including 2 black bear runs.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (35 Viewers)

Yeah they need that added tlc just for safety, I ran spacers from spidertrax as well for 2 years without issues, great product.
I honestly don’t remember when I received mine from them 4 years ago that it came with red loctite. I used my own (blue) when I installed it that time when I ran factory 06LX 18” wheels with 275/70s.
Went to Cruisers On The Rockies last week and ran into some issues at altitude. I could not fill my gas tank without it clicking off constantly, my fuel tank was building up pressure, and fuel was spilling out. Also lost a coil pack on the way home. Once I got home, I hit Rockauto and PartSouq and ordered a bunch of parts. New Denso coils and spark plugs, new fuel pump and strainer, new fuel filter, vapor canister, and Vapor valve. The Vapor canister came with a broken barb so waiting on a replacement. While I was at it, I replaced the gas cap and the rubber hose between the filler hard line and gas tank. It was really obstructed by what looks like the inner liner of the hose. Hopefully this will fix my issues for next year!
I'm jealous of the evap canister. Did the same on fuel pump, coils and plugs.
Wow wow wow
So guys...... idk what dawned on me but I decided to purchase the V belt tensioner pulley along the idler pulley for replacement this week. My 100 was making pulley noises, however I didnt ID exactly which one. Fan clutch, idler, tensioner pulley? IDK. But let's start with the the Idler n tensioner. I decided to do the Idler cause it was the easiest, grabbed my 14mm socket and let's go.....
Not only did the Idler need to be replaced, because it was spinning like a skate wheel-
IT WAS FREAKING LOOSE.
Old
New!
And now my engine bay pursssss!!
Oh my gosh what could have been

I hooked up my front bumper lights, the little square ones (Rigid D series). Punching through the DS wiring harness grommet wasn’t easy (that thing is tough — not sure what tool I’d recommend, but I cut some tiny slits and pulled out bits of grommet material with pliers — I’m sure there’s a better way). Anyway, they’re bright, and it looks nice!

I have bad news for you - once you have a fridge in the truck, you will never be able to go back......

I hear ya and you are soooo right. I have had one for a couple years now. I just got another one a bit smaller and will keep the larger one in the '06 overlander for camping.....and Costco. Nothing like cool water bottles and no melted ice to deal with.
Headlights and fogs were looking faded and oxidized. Did a quick restoration.
love the plate!
I finally got the engine out, I got held up on trying to remove the harness but the A/C compressor was in a tight spot and I can't pull the harness. I ended up disconnecting it from the ECU.
