Drilled out all the pinch welds on the inner fender and tucked the engine bay by about 1" all around.
Also cut out a large rusty section which happened to be the area of rocker that would've needed to go anyway.
On my 1999 I used rivets to...
Valve cover gasket and spark plugs today. Original VCGs and plugs also seemed pretty old.
4 of 8 plugs were only finger tight. Feels good to prevent catastrophes
Old plugs were DENSO SK20R11 which is what they got replaced with. Old plugs said...
I bought it for her and initially she didn't like.
Then I cleaned it up a bit and she's all over it. I got excited and thought I might have another wheeling rig project for a second there haha
TBD if it will make the trip to COTR or not. The...
Some updates! We're preparing for COTR again and as always, that means projects are getting done.
I procrastinated on installing the Wolfbox and Nighthawk last week, but got the wild hair to do them both today. I didn't take much for pictures...
I apologize in advance for perhaps sounding rude to some in my comments below, but from my perspective I offer these comments.
The scope of development here, is in my opinion, quite remarkable. Getting this to market in a volatile economy HAS to...
New product! With @Anarchy's excellent HVAC controller/NAV Delete, I don't need to keep my phone screen in view for maps anymore... But I did need somewhere to stash it! Check these out:
They snap in nice & tight around the side trim - they're...
I put my input here months ago but i compared them against american modern and american modern gave me a $30k policy identical to hagertys for much less money ($414 annually). If I remember correctly Hagerty's quote was in the realm of $900 but...
First, the “batch 2 bold” remark was a joke in poor taste. If there’s sufficient demand to support Batch 2, I intend to make it happen. Right now, it’s difficult to gauge that demand accurately.
@medtro, that’s a fair reference. The April post...
I understand wanting confirmed LC operation and fitment before committing. I could have been clearer about the reservation cutoff. I’ve established that the relevant HVAC multiplex communication is identical. I’m comfortable proceeding with LC...
3 years running the Lasfit LED lights in my daily driver 03 100 in northeast snowbelt of PA. Never been flashed, but rather I have been blinded by other drivers whose new vehicles are equipped with much brighter lights.
Admitted delinquent here.
I went with Lasfit (headlights, high beams, and fog lights).
They're way bright. I haven't been flashed yet, but I am constantly driving with apprehensive guilt waiting for it to happen.
(don't mind my cracked trim - its been removed/reinstalled something like 25 times now :alien: )
Alright, a proper update for everyone who has been following on mud.
The new renders show the revised housing, control labels and silver...
After years of overlanding and a few of off roading in some remote and rough conditions, I upgraded to Slee's complete steel skip plate system this morning. With help from a mechanic friend, we were abe to install all 3 plates within 90 minutes...
After I had the 100 running it had a sporadic idle where it would bounce between 500 and 1000 RPM, and after idling for about five minutes it would die if I revved it.
Under the advise of a several people I replaced the MAF with a Japanese...
Newly installed 265/70/18 Duratrac RTs on my LX just in case anyone on this thread is contemplating this size as well. I like a good bit of fender gap so this size is absolutely perfect for me. They ride nice too since they’re SL rated.
AHC in...
Thanks to everyone for the support here on mud. Genuinely appreciate the people who understand how much engineering, validation and low-volume manufacturing sits behind something like this. We’re going through everything down to details most...
Honestly, a standard double-DIN support bracket would be ideal for me. I'm so sick of screens everywhere I want to drop an old single or double DIN head unit in there and call it done...
I placed my deposit for 03 LC version on Friday. While I have followed this thread, last week I found Alpine Siege's instagram/FB, I would think your main target audience is here on MUD.
Personally, I want to know if after installing the Alpine...
wow 😲 the frame is so far gone is actually buckling in the rear. My 2cents is if you are dead set in keeping this truck, fine a southern or mid west part out truck, rent a box truck and go purchase a rust free frame. A frame swap will cost you a...
