This is interesting...will watch this one closely. As a 2001 owner, I do not have the HVAC control issues but, I have been thinking about adding another 100 Series into the rotation.

In regard to the Ineos Grenadier - I have not had the pleasure to drive one yet (I do have one on pre-order and my configuration came in at just over $99k) but, my good friend has. He led the "The Hard Way Home" which was Ineos' launch in Morocco. He and I have worked together for a decade and...
Finally got around to installing OME 863s in the 100 Series and replacing the Ironman Foam Cell Pro shocks with the Slee units. What a difference, the whole truck is happier and rides amazing now. Literally a world of difference between the Slee units and the Ironman units.
If the heater core is "clogged" I would replace - but, that also means you may have something else going on in your coolant. Is your coolant running low or do you have any other leaks?
Hey all need to get my 100 Series from Virginia (Loudoun Co.) to Colorado (Denver) by early next week. Don’t make me deal with auto shippers…PM me or post here.

I love this mount, I have been trying to figure out something for my 100 Series - Slee Bumper as well. I don't like rack mounts as they're a pain to get to. I like this, may have to get fabricating. To the question of using these - I use mine all the time - I grab these before I winch /...
I would guess approximately 35lbs - I didn't weight everything but, I would say that the winch and line is the only "extra" weight added. The Trail Tailor mount probably nets pretty close to the aluminum crash bar, the foam, and the frame horns...maybe 10lbs or 15lbs more.

I tossed mine, I seriously contemplated cutting it and making brackets to attach to the hidden winch mount but, scratched the idea. Here is my rationale. The crash bar is basically designed for the 5mph test and the pedestrian leg-hit test (to the best of my knowledge) and to provide rigidity...
A few additional pictures of the installation:
I wrapped the winch cables and routed them cleanly behind the winch and up to the battery. Everything was secured by zipties. I mounted the Blue Sea Systems switch in-between the winch and the positive battery terminal to allow for a manual...
December 11, 2020 Update:
Well, once a few parts arrived I decided to tackle the hidden winch installation on the LX. Parts for this adventure were as follows:
Trail Tailor XL570 Hidden Winch Mount
Warn 9.5XPS w/Remote
Factor 55 Hawse Fairlead 1.5"
Factor 55 Flatlink
Factor 55 Flatlink Rope...
@Markuson All good points and there are always arguments for or against heavier. To me it’s primarily a weight and rigging equation for me. I like the lighter weight of the XPS (68lbs) vs. the M12000 with synthetic line (99lbs) and the higher line pull speed of the 9.5XPS (max weight / wrap...
