What did you do to your 120 today?

[LowRange]

Bloody hell - I want YOUR shed!

Envious of your workshop and hoist there Lowrange...
I have to be content with - trolley jack, axle stands and garage creeper!
Cheers

Thanks, yes having the hoist makes things so much easier. The shed is purpose built for the hoist with reinforcing beam running under the slab from post to post and the roof height so it can be fully raised. But like all sheds, it could be bigger.

If you are ever touring through this area and need to make some running repairs, you are welcome to use it.

Awesome snow run

How great's that, snow already and a decent amount too. Looking forward to Barrington Tops getting some white stuff falling.

I left mine at the garage to replace with 2" suspension and going to get Terrain Tamer set.

Replaced my left mirror after my awning smashed it and fixed/strengthened the awning. Also adjusted my home made awning brackets so the awning sits lower.

Gave the old girl a service, done all fluids diffs, transfer case, gearbox, engine, filters, greased prop shaft. Was going to fit an EGT gauge but the bolt on the exhaust covering the sensor hole is stripped so will continue that tomorrow and fit some new headlight globes.

Oil pickup screen is all clear, and i got lucky with the hex bolts on the front diff no monkeys had swung off them so they come off fine.

My garage ceiling is too low or I would have a 2 post in there too.. :/

Bushskins plate installed this morning:

Against the dirty/rusty chassis that plate certainly pops!

[foxclan]

5 way wheel rotation, rear left Firestone air bag out for some soapy water and a few pictures (chasing a slow leak around the air line fitting),
Greased all uni joints and prop shafts.
Removed AMTS under body Armour - in prep for trans service. Pulled out starter motor for a clean up and re lube.
Checked drive belt and idler pulleys.

Yeah I checked that with a dial, and have put them back on without cleaning rear hubs on purpose.
A skin took the shimmy out.
So don't suspect it was Hub related.

Odd one all the less, but sorted now.

Dropped all 4 DBA T2 rotors off today and had them skimmed, checked flange faces and hubs, all back together.. Brake vibrating issue now gone :-)
Full service, Oil Filter, Fuel filters, Air filter, Cabin filter, New coolant, and Changed all brake fluid. Still power steering and Trans to do.

Hey Piggy,

The rear T2 rotors can sometimes not mate well on the rear hub. I've had to twice skim down the internal lip on the T2 rotors for two different 120's to get them to sit flat on the hub.

Both of those 120's had previously run the same T2 rotors which ended up rippling badly.

You can feel the poor T2/hub misfit by hand!

Best

How did you go getting the sensor out Piggy? Looks like a bugger of a spot to get to...
Also, what was the part number for the O2 sensor from Amayama? the cheapest I have seen on their site ex Sydney was $175

New Bendix 4x4 rear pads today. Giving the T2 rotors a skim tomorrow as I'm chasing a pesky braking vibration.
Rotors are only 5k old but what the hell, if a skim doesn't fix it its something else.

Also dropped a New Bank 1 Sensor 2 O2 sensor in as well, cleared all the fault codes (P0037) and made the toyota xmas tree lights on the dash finally go away.
Why you would turn off TRC VSC etc for a simple o2 issue i dont know..

Got the o2 sensor thru Amayama's new Aust warehouse. Toyyota $320. Trade $237. Amayama $86 inc freight.
