I’m a professional pilot and an amateur machinist/welder/fabricator/mechanic, with a hobbyist workshop spread between my home and a small airplane hangar. I enjoy the simple and basic ability to make and repair instead of buying new. I also have an affinity for vintage tools and machines, which often become projects in themselves. My videos are a sampling of my day to day adventures in life. Thanks for stopping by.

T100 Resurrection part 4
มุมมอง 3.1K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Replacing the idler arm on my T100 with a new grease-able unit from Pro Forged. While we’re at it, let’s re-bush and add a grease zirk to the old one for a spare.

Let’s see if we might get the radiator and air conditioning to work a bit better.
Toyota T100 Resurrection part 2

More work on my new to me 96 T100 4WD. A bad u-joint and yoke, front brakes, a manual locking hub conversion, and a wheel and tire upgrade. More to follow, so stay tuned.
Toyota T100 resurrection part 1. Will it crank? Will it run?

Bringing a long parked T100 back to life. No crank, no start, but it came at a good price.
Garage Cleanup Surprises
มุมมอง 663 ปีที่แล้ว
In my slow paced attempt to reclaim some modicum of usable workspace in my home garage, I seem to repeatedly distract myself with surprise finds of forgotten treasures. My wife refers to them as something else entirely.
The Landscape Project that Time Forgot 2
มุมมอง 574 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the second installment in my much delayed front yard landscape project. I’ve not made quite as much progress as hoped, but I have good deal more available time during this season of the Corona virus and it’s accompanying lockdown that continues to provide a much reduced work schedule.
The Landscape Project that Time Forgot 1
มุมมอง 414 ปีที่แล้ว
Quite some time ago, I set out to replace my front yard “all grass” landscape with something more drought friendly and creative. Several diversions and distractions along the way have caused the project to draw out far too long, so for now, this will be my top “days off” priority.
My New Favorite Accessory, Bongo Ties
มุมมอง 2165 ปีที่แล้ว
My son in law Pete recently turned me on to Bongo Ties as a better alternative to the many bundles of chopped up bell wire that I use like bread ties. These little cleated rubber bands are amazingly simple, quick and easy to use. They’re inexpensive at about $5 for a 10 pack, and easy to keep track of. I’m sold.

Mr. Pete meet and greet.
มุมมอง 3056 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick walk thru at Mr. Pete’s event. I posted this on FB the same day, but apparently overlooked putting it up here. Everyone there seemed to have a great time, I surely did. I could have done a much better commentary and mentioned many more of the TH-cam creators in the video, apologies to y’all.
Craftsman Heartbreak
มุมมอง 777 ปีที่แล้ว
Like TOT and his TIG welder, I think Craftsman is trying to break up with me.
one of the best videos I've found! thanks!
We need a update on the T100 !!
Hell of a job getting things back in order🫡
When will you post another video? I’m all caught up now. I’ve been really enjoying this series!
I suppose it’s about time. Lemme see what I can do.
#skyking252 did you end up putting oil in the fan clutch? if so what kind ? thanks
What is the white white thube you were squeezing in the coils?
Silicon dielectric grease to keep the rubber boots from sticking to the spark plugs.
This video is pure gold that’s exactly what I have to do to my T100. Thanks man.
The same thing happened to me with a 1/2" ratchet. I felt kinda cheated but had to take it anyway since the old one was slipping big time and I needed it ASAP.
Rebuilding a part you already replaced tells me you are retired. Great series, keep posting.
If that's an original radiator I would have just replaced it with a new one! Fan clutch along with it the thermostat! Fresh coolant and new radiator cap, hoses to call it a day.... that's if you don't want to be stranded or destroy the engine from overheating! Nice work!!
I initially replaced the belts, hoses, thermostat, and coolant just as a matter of good practice for anything that’s sat for an extended period of time. I also replaced the cap because the seal was rock hard and cracking, and serviced the fan clutch because it seemed a bit too free spinning. The rad appeared to have been replaced somewhere along the line. It had no discernible fin rot, and it was free flowing, so I rolled the dice on washing away the dried mud and straightening some bent fins. It made it thru last summer with no issues. That being said, I’ll likely take your advice and replace it before embarking on any long or remote trips with it. Thanks for watchin’, and for your input. Despite not having posted anything for quite a while, I’ll have more sometime soon.
Great little series! BTW, isn’t there supposed to be a snap ring on the end of the CV axle (behind the hubs)? There is on my ‘96 T. Side note, you should delete the ADD system and clamp the fork in the front diff to lock it in place, so you don’t have to depend on the vacuum system that’s prone to failure to engage 4x4. It only took about an hour to do for me.
There’s a debate on the usefulness of the snap rings, with fair points on putting them back and leaving them out. My only reason for leaving them out was that they were already missing. I have every intention to either block out the ADD, or possibly swap out the long axle side with a non-ADD unit (I have a spare), but I also have thoughts of an SAS using an FJ-80 front axle that’s currently taking up space in my shed. Only time will tell…
I watched t100 series and I love it. Tomorrow I might get one to my self. Rear drive 5speed manual. Thank you again well done.
Love how the starter went from night to day so casually
man if i was your neighbor i would be over there hanging out 😂😂 bugging lol great job man a pleasure to watch
Love your videos! hope all is well. Can't wait for the next T100 video. :)
You’re awesome man. Love the truck.
Здравствуйте. Подскажите пожалуйста, какой антифриз нужно заливать в систему охлаждения? Спасибо!
Спасибо вам за ваши видео! 🤝 Я из России. У нас в стране всего 2 или 3 таких машины. Никакой информации про них нет. Смотрю ваши видео как уроки по ремонту. Ещё раз спасибо! 🤝👍
Liked your video! I have one. I am considering the locking hubs- what brand did you use? My truck’s biggest improvement was using bilstein shocks and a Monroe steering stabilizer from rock auto. The stock one when new is never strong, also a power steering fluid change ( just suck it out and fill it a few times with atf makes the steering better in puddles and holes in the road…please advise on the hubs- thanks
I’m glad you liked the video. They were just used OEM Toyota Aisen hubs sourced from a salvage yard. That’s it, nothing fancy.
Thanks - I like your style, filming is very good, I was waiting and waiting to see what you were spraying on the fan clutch, finally you said WD-40. I would like to know if it leaks and how it works down the road. You may also consider changing the thermostat. May be bad. Don’t put a cooler one in- the truck will not run right on short trips- I know- I had a 160 in and it was no good.
is it a big deal if i dont install the double tip spark plugs on the T100? i just went to autoparts store and they just gave me the ones with 1 tip and later on i saw on the engine the picture with the double tip spark plugs, should i replace them
I choose the OEM style, but I doubt that there’s any danger in using the other.
Not sure if I missed it? What was the mileage on your T100 when you bought it? I have a 03 Tacoma 3.4 with 160k and a recent compression test shows 190 plus psi on 4 of the cylinders and the other 2 were 200 psi.
About 237k. It’s also worth mentioning that I have little faith in the calibration of my 40 year old tester.
@@skyking252 Good point. I have enjoyed your videos. Learned a lot too. Thank you!
It seems that it is mine that you are repairing, it is even the same color😂😂
Love your videos!!!! I have a 98 t100 and I think imma have to take it to you, I can’t figure out my headlight issue 😂
I got this lady trying to sell me one and it has a blown head gasket and the clutch is burnt up. It has ext cab v6 4x4 5 speed.
If it’s a good deal and in otherwise good shape, buy it. The 5VZ-FE is a great motor and readily available. If you’re doing a motor swap, it’s no extra effort to throw a new clutch in it.
Watched all your T100 videos. You make it look easy. You seem incrediblely intelligent and mechanically experienced. Your videos are very helpful. Look forward to more.
Thank you sir. I do what I can.
Pretty good video! What the advantage of manual locking hubs! I have a 97 model. That’ll make a good truck. Compression will get higher
The manual hubs disengage the CV axles, so there’s a little less drag, and a lot less wear and tear. They also allow the Automatic Differential Disconnect to be deleted if desired. The “ADD” system is a bit complex for its purpose, and can also be problematic as well as fairly expensive to repair. Moreover, the manual hubs are much simpler, and a preference item for me.
@@skyking252 probably improved gas mileage as well. Where did you buy the kit
@@sweetwilliam49 It’s not a kit. I pulled the manual hubs from a truck at pick-a-part. Any ‘86 to ‘95 4WD pickup or 4Runner interchange directly. Just remove the solid drive plate and replace the locking hub in its place.
Of course it will
No wheel chocks?
Chocks are never a bad idea, and I have no legitimate excuse for not using them every time. That being said, I tend to get lazy…
Ok! Starters in, and I need a chiropractor appointment. 🤣🤣🤣
I hear you.
Love these trucks I had one in high school that I bought from my grandfather, wish I never sold it. I really enjoy your channel!
They are getting rare. Jump on the next one you see and rebuild it. Parts are getting hard to find.
I feel like we are all sippin a beer watching you put in work
Cheers mate. Have one for me.
Wow great video...I so much enjoyed this and can't wait to get time to watch ever how many parts this is. I have a 98 T-100 SR5 with only 150k miles....bought new off show room floor. Every time I think about selling and buying a new truck or newer truck I look at the prices and think about never ever having a issue with my truck other than basic maintenance I always back out.
Still have it?
@@quintonulm2435 Actually I do!!!
sir regarding replacing the oil , do I need the special air compressor oil or I can use any oil ? like a car oil for example
Most motor oils contain a detergent not suitable for conventional compressors. You should use a designated compressor oil. This particular compressor is “oil-less”.
The manual say SAE 20-20 W SF or Sears 9-16426
I watched someone else on TH-cam rebuild a clutch using oem fan clutch fluid. So maybe there is info out there.
Yes. I have 2 or 3 tubes of Toyota silicon oil somewhere. They charged quite a bit for it, but otherwise had no info. Also of issue is that they don’t sell, or have a part number for, the square cut o-ring. If anyone has found info from another source, please share.
Dang. What timing. I just had a kid pull out in front of me Monday and I totaled the T100. Was completely rebuilt 97 T100 with front and rear lockers. Literally just finished all the mechanical work on it about a month ago. Did it all with my father. I’ve had that truck since 2002. Unfortunately the frame folded when T-bone the person doing 40-45mph. Some young kid panicked and pull right out in front of me on icy roads. Complete lose unfortunately. She was #99. One less T100 out there. She’s in my garage right now. Going to do what I can and save what I can.
Buy another one!
@@sweetwilliam49 extremely difficult to find.
@@sweetwilliam49 just got a 96 T100 🇺🇸💪👍
@@Alaskabuilt_ cool! They’re getting scarce. I bought a 97 manual 4x4 with 127k wrecked, several years ago just to keep for parts
@@sweetwilliam49 yup I kept my 97 for parts. Still lots of good things. Starting the full rebuild on the 96.
178ml. of synthetic oil no more than 5 wt .
Negative Ghost-rider.
What size tires did you put on? Are those BFGs?
They’re BFG K02, LT275/70R17. They seem to be working out well.
@@skyking252 do they rub at all under load or when turning?
@@CubicleClowns they did rub just a bit on the original mud flaps, but only on a bump in a full lock turn. I have in mind to raise the front end an inch or two to level the ride height, which should remedy the interference. Until then, I’ve removed the flaps.
CALIFORNIA POOR GUY
Thanks, I guess…
Is that an ABS pump behind the air filter box?
Negative ghost rider. That’s the cruise control actuator.
Keep and eye on the frame around those three bolts on the idler arm. T100 is known for cracking there. Mine is cracked there but will plate it and weld it up soon .
That stabilizer shock is leaking terribly lol
Got 365k on my 97 T100
sweet
“An honest politician” 😂 I love being able to shift into 4wd and out on the fly. I did get rid of the add though. I put in a full time front diff and a Eaton e locker. I have the no spin locker in the back. Absolutely love them. Hopefully you went with koyo or timken bearings.
A trick for spark plugs in a aluminum head is use a vacuum hose to on the end of the plug to start the plug by hand. The hose won’t allow you to cross thread anything in aluminum. Love these little T100’s. Also anti seize on spark plugs is a bad idea. You should always remove your plugs when the engine is warm. That way you don’t pull the aluminum threads.
That’s sugar buddy. Someone poured sugar in the tank
No telling. Whether it was or wasn’t, it’s dealt with now.
@@skyking252 yup, that’s what filters are for. Glad to see the T100 has a good owner who has the skill and knowledge to give her the love she needs.
Interesting, my favorite ties/straps are mille-tie/flexstrap style, preferably flex straps because they're stretchier and easier to reuse, they're a really nice compromise between flexibility, strength, and ease of use.
Skyking: Will there be a 5th video? Looking forward to it!
Yes there will be, and likely more after that.
I bought a rusty '98 from PA less than a year ago and have been slowly trying to work on it thanks to helpful videos like yours, which are very limited for the T100. I noticed on the last few seconds of this video that you also have low idle (500-550 rpm at a stop). I changed the spark plugs & wires & fuel filter, cleaned the injectors & throttle body, and sprayed the IAC ports (I couldn't get screws off to clean the inside) but still get a low idle. Have you been able to address this?
Thanks for sharing with us. I am enjoying watching your videos. Quick question. Did you also change your fuel filer? Maybe I missed it. I changed mine this weekend on my T100 and couldn’t believe how nasty the fuel came out on the intake side. Now it seems to idle better. Thanks agin!
Yes, I did change the fuel filter when I put the tank back in.
It's an ok video...but please EDIT these better....we don't have to see you take every single nut, bolt and screw out of an assembly. Not trying to be a dick here, but I wound up self-editing this thing down to about 9 minutes. But thanks for your effort.
Yeah, editing is undeniably where my greatest room for improvement lives.
Great video if you ask me. Love seeing all the fine details on this beauty!!
@@skyking252 not to shabby at all. There’s always room for improvement in everything we do in life. 🇺🇸💪👍
@@skyking252 totally do not agree with matts comment. I appreciate what your doing here. However you do it. Thank you!
