What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I imagine they did, at least the bearing is the same one used as in the OEM bracket. I changed mine out in 2014 with an Aisin as well. I had found just the bearing being sold in Thailand but in quantities of 100.

My memory can be downright scary sometimes. Photographic almost.:photo: As an internal auditor it serves me well. I got selected to be on Jeopardy years ago but had to pass due to a family illness at the time.

The bearing is the most important part. . . :bounce:
 
Let me know when you start looking. I'll have a few that I can unload hopefully this spring. (they're currently in a POD that I don't have access to, I hate moving) They're flaking, but if you intend on PCing them they'd be perfect.

I feel you on that, moved 3x last year, so over it. I will post up here when I am in the market. I was looking at the TRD FJ wheels but I really like the 5 stars as well.

Went clear. Little grill mod since I'll be getting an 02 grille as soon as I can find one. Currently waiting on Mr. UpsMan to deliver my weather tech mats and deflectors.

My magnetic drain plug showed up. So did my first oil change at 4k after running some marvels mystery through it the last 200 miles.

Also got my stupidly expensive, but OEM/matching hilux surf clear corners. I'll feel better once I have my retrofit's next to them :)
 
Picked up a 99 Limited in great shape other than how dirty the interior was.... for all of the OCD people in here... you're welcome.

What did you use for a leather cleaner? I have never done anything but condition my seat's. I'm OCD enough, I'd like to see if mine come clean any further.

Here's a link to the instructions and products. I've used these products for years and had equal success on several colors of leather. This stuff is the real deal. It's a 24-48 hour process but not too much work if you're not going to pull the seats out like I did. Even then, it's not a major job. Basically apply one product, leave it on for 24 hours, then use the second product to wipe it off. Highly suggest.

Thank you, will be the perfect time to do that. I have the remainder of the floor to do my sound deadening on. I'll have the seats out anyways.

Thanks - I am going to try those. I just finished up getting leather seats swapped in to mine.
 
Installed some Polk db6501's. Woofer mounted into the factory panel with no mods.. I used the tweeter cup that came with speakers(the one w/o the lip), hot glued it in the factory tweeter panel and used a dremel to trim it to clear the door frame.

I run those same speakers in my car. Very nice sound for a really great price.

These are the ones that I'm looking at buying. Did you guys run new wires to the speakers and/or did you use an amp? I'd like to just power them off my deck (newer JVC) is possible but not sure how much it will effect the sound.... I was planning on doing the same thing by putting them in the factory panels.
 
I ran new wires to mine but I'm also running a 250w rms amp on them. No aftermarket headunit will make these speakers near as good as a dedicated amp will. They just don't have enough power to push them properly.
 
Got my lift installed today. The 2.5" Daystar spacer lift is temporary until I can afford a hybrid Toytec/Sonoran Steel 1.2 lift. I also got a 4Crawler 1" body lift installed. Hopefully I can install 285/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZs down the road with no rubbing. I will have an ARB bumper on front, so I won't have to worry about rubbing on the Limited flares on the stock front bumper. I already have 1.25" Spidertrax wheels spacers installed.

Did a little light off-roading. Tiny little trail that is really just river access for people to load boats in and out of a river that runs through town. But I pass it every day and have wanted to see f I could climb this hill. Thing was rutted, but I made it. Should've snapped a pic. Next time.
 
Got a couple of these. Toytec Boss with the 550lb springs.

Very happy so far with them so far. Not too firm at all, liking the softer springs.


To go with this on the rear. OME 890, Fox 2.0
