Rotors and pads installed. Pads looked plenty good. I would still probably use the Akebono's for next replacement. Very happy with brake package thus far.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (22 Viewers)

Finally got everything I wanted installed on the interior cargo rack. May pick up a few bungee cords tomorrow because honestly when are bungee cords not appropriate?? I've already put the axe and shovel to use and I'm sure they will all come in handy during the winter when I have to deal with fallen trees.
I installed a second hawse fairlead to act as a spacer between the bumper and the fairlead, because the recess meant for the roller fairlead has too sharp of edges for synthetic rope for certain pull angles. I used a 1.5" Delrin fairlead behind a 1.5" Warn aluminum one. (I still have my wasted unused Slee which I will post in the classified section. (It's the nicest of the bunch, but too shallow for the Ironman bumper.)
I'd prefer a single 3.5" one, but can't find anybody who makes one. What has anyone else with an Ironman front bumper or the ARB is was "inspired" by done when switching to synthetic rope?

I see mixed feelings about using the roller fairlead with delrin rollers. But might be the best compromise for your set-up.
I thought about that option as well, but I damaged my orginal roller fairlead at CM 2014 so i went the hawse route. I could also just stick another Delrin one behind the one that is there and the bumper. It's good enough for now as I don't winch much, but I will get it spaced properly before the next major trip where I may need to. (Hopefully I don't regret waiting.)

It crossed my mind, and I almost wish it was so I could have taken care of the situation. I'm sure it was not though, the deposits of dirty fingerprints on the headliner smelled VERY transient...
Installed my CVT awning and used the CVT Black Butte tent this weekend:
Tent looks Nice! Did you get any pics of how your awning mounts to the Factory roof rack?

I could have sworn I took some, but looking back at my phone it looks like I forgot! I'll snap some tonight though. I just used the factory cross bars and drilled two holes to mount the brackets through. It was surprisingly extremely sturdy, and I tested it about 2 hours after I installed it with a 5+ hour road trip some of which was offroad. I also at first didn't want to mount it on the driver's side due to potential wind noise, but it was a total non issue.
Replaced the Toyota battery with a Yellow Top Optima ($219.00). Got to show my 10 yr. old how to take out the old one and install the new one. Little tricky and had to use the cover underneath so that the battery bracket would hold it in firmly. One day I plan on giving it to him so he might as well start learning the ins and outs of the easy stuff.
Where did you find the back seat cover? I need one those for my newest four legged friend

@GaFJC They are Cabela's brand and I got them off their website about 4yrs ago. I can't find the exact style on there anymore but the next best thing is their TrailGear Series that come with a few extra pockets for storage. I love them though, they're great for protecting the leather since they are water resistant and they prevent any animal from ripping the seats with their nails. They even hold up against the occasional accident my dog used to leave in the back when she was a pup
