What have you done to your 200 Series this week? (76 Viewers)

[TeCKis300]

Maybe but I think the foam piece in front along with the fan shroud is what directing the airflow. The 100 series don’t have all this and it has one of the best cooling system.

I won't make a difference until it makes a difference in the right conditions. There are those that have experienced the overheating first hand. The seal is important to keep hot underhold air from recirculating back to the front of the radiator. At speed, it makes sure the air doesn't bypass and gets forced through the radiator.

The 100-series is setup different but it surely has this seal too. It's just done with out covers. Seal is on the hood and closes tightly against the top radiator support. I can't find a quick pic but this is why every 100-series top rail shows a witness mark of the seal

You can leave the larger covers unclipped. They don't move or rattle and are easy to move to check underneath them. The small radiator cover does need a clip or two to stay in place.

here you go!

You absolute mad lad. Good work.

With those CBI slider steps, are there matching AHC skids for them?
Blackout Nori Green is just special man. Great truck.

Thank you! The sliders cover up the globes.

Tow pig for bike photo shoot.

Would it be too much to ask for a pic? Their website has no mention of this.

IH8Mud... Seriously, I do...

 

[Tex68w]

Yea, I try to avoid it all costs.

 

[vsatking]

Smokes! That is a lot of mud!

While your skids are off, how much play do you have on the passenger side front differential tube? Mine moves around 1/8". I assume my bushing might be bad.

 

[Ratchey]

Replaced both lower control arms, changed the oil and replaced the power steering fluid in the resevoir, then dropped it off for an alignment.
Also cleaned up some rust around the tow hitch and swapped out the winter tires.

@turbo8 I just went and checked. I do not have any play in the differential tube (firmly bolted to the clamshell) or the passenger axle (inner cv) where it enters the tube. I can't move the axle tube where it mounts to the subframe either.

Thanks! I ordered new mounts. I couldn't find just the bushings, so new mounts with the bushings in them have to be bought.

Dang! What was wrong with the LCAs? They are pricey, an with the right tools, you can swap bushings and ball joints I believe.

 

[CharlieS]

I see their location as "up near Canada" and that might be a factor. My LCAs are rusty and beat to hell. We have to deal with salted roads up North and that destroys steel. Probably not a thing in TX. Honestly, if I needed to do bushings, I'd consider a shiny new set of LCAs too.

Yea same. I need bushings and ball joints soon and just going to replace the whole arm and cam bolts. Not worth fighting the corrosion.

Took her in for a major refresh last week at 135K

All work done by Toyota with OEM parts

New timing chain and tensioners (I had the dreaded Tundra Tick on cold start). Was going to do just the driver-side tensioner but figured may as well do it all while they were in there.
New water pump
New thermostat
New starter
Replaced both O2 sensors
New radiator and all hoses
4WD fluid exchange - front and rear diffs and t-case
Lubricated drive shafts and u-joints
Complete fuel injection and fuel rail cleaning
New battery
New spark plugs
Flush and replaced transmission fluid
Power steering flush
Oil and filter change

Grand total: $9604.75

She's good to go! Runs much smoother and no more cold start clicking.

Hmmm. No engine oil change?

Bet she's feeling good now with all that done!

Just had mine in for the 25,000 service yesterday.

Oh yeah - and an oil change. LOL - I'll add that
