Just heard from the dealer, apparently a new steering rack is in my future :(

What are they quoting you for the R&R?

I recently put a new rack in my 2000 100, it's a chore of a job but doable in 4-6 hours. Key is to unbolt both motor mounts and lift the motor up until the fan can no longer flex against the shroud anymore. You'll be able to glide the rack in and out with ease. Anything short of that... I seriously don't think it can happen :eek:

I believe it ended up around $1900 but I need to double check.

The steering is super tight now! I think I had some tie rod issues too.

Put a tarp on it... :( I had wanted to go out into the storm and explore some wet winter roads this weekend, but the wife is sick. So, tossed a tarp on it and it's going to sit and wait for next weekend I guess.

Decided to replace the old brake hoses with extended OEM hoses from the Tundra/T100 :cool:

Even with 387,xxx miles, they came out easily :yup:

After wheeling a couple weekends ago, I found that my front locker wasn't engaging so, long story short, I pull off the actuator and found that a gear shaft was seized from crud. After figuring out the operation of it, I freed it up and lubed it, and ran the motor with a 9V battery a few minutes to free everything up and reassembled. I can now easily hear the locker engaging. It was simple work, really. some folks have issues with corroded screws, but mine were good. I'll do the rear soon just for peace of mind.

Pulled the rotting meat out of my fridge! The only scary bit was the hamburger which I am pretty sure is the source of a toxic e-coli. For that I wore gloves and a mask and washed my hands with bleach. :Wow1:

Left overs from baja I didn't chuck out yet. Been sick, didn't want to deal with it. Now just need to clean my fridge and back in action.

Oh ya, lost low beams on the last leg home. Checking things, I have a burned fuse. Time for more investigation.

The thought of the smell in the fridge just made me gag... lol

That is a nice 40. I'll have to go back over your build thread and look it over. What is the BS on the rims?
