I just about squeezed 80k out of my last set of bfg at's on the 100. I moved them round the car and kept the pressures consistent, they were not cheap but felt they were well worth the money, not 1 puncture either

BFG I had 80K miles from my last set

Bfg without hesitation last set did 80k miles plus not even one puncture,

Thanks for that I am 94K miles and 5 years next month all genuine Toyota parts last time so probably about due now At 250k miles total, did not do the water pump last time so think it should get swapped out this time?

Hi, Just a quick one what is the interval for a timing belt change on a 100 4.2HD? Mileage and or time please? Just cant seem to find the info to hand currently Thanks

Starter motor solenoid fault, often a problem. Click but no crank

Rebuilt my 100 ones with OEM seal 4 years ago no worries. Also used a Febest items no problems at all

My money is still on that rear sensor circuit the car thinks everything is level from the info provided by the sensors. Does it still move up and down from the height control switch if so the main components should be working. There are YouTube videos of people cleaning the sensors maybe worth...

Check the height sensors, one on the back axle and one each on the front wishbone. My best guess is link has dropped off on the rear sensor, they do wear, think they can be purchased separately from the sensor itself.

If all was working before maybe you have assembled incorrectly, poor connections at the alternator or shorted the alternator live wire while working on the car. Are both batteries in good order?

They are not the smoothest of gearboxes but I would start with a check of the drive train as a loose uj or torsion bar bush wear would be my guess. Backlash and movement throughout the system could produce clunky changes, I have also swapped out the splined drive hubs on the front axle on mine...

Yes forget to mention I blasted and painted the tank as well while it was out also wax oiled the whole area too including a light coat on the tank. Also put some electrical grease in the fuel gauge loom plug to repel any water. Not very often to drop the tank (hopefully) so took advantage

My original guard and straps started to look scruffy so got sandblasted and painted with 2 costs high build etch primer and 2 coats satin black single pack enamel. Also dropped the tank drained it hot pressure washed and cleaned the filter pick up gauze.

245k

Just to resurrect the thread now covered 80k miles on the BFGs looking quite low now but still legal. Still no punctures.
