    Long time, no post. Still have the 100. Apparently we’re emotionally attached.

    The test drive was fun on my phone, but the cruiser was always hidden behind the hi/lo/lock toolbar because I couldn't figure out how to change the camera view. Cool site. At this point I don't think I could part with my 100. I've had it for 11 years and even at 400k miles, it's still a joy to...

    Adding a Dual Battery Voltmeter to the Cabin

    I essentially did what you have in the first diagram many years ago. It works great! The red switch on the right is what cuts the ground to shut off the voltmeters.

    Is it actually a bad ECU this time?

    To test fuel pressure, you need to add a banjo bolt like this with a 1/8 npt hole on top to the front of the fuel rail along with a fuel safe schrader valve for most fuel pressure gauges. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CPJI8I?tag=ihco-20

    "Secret" mods.

    They are just round trailer clearance lights. I think the size is 3/4".

    Is it actually a bad ECU this time?

    Just to verify I understand what you are saying, after a reset runs great and then runs poorly after being shut off? The fact it runs well after resetting the ECU, makes me think it is learning something from either a bad sensor or a bad signal. After a reset, open techstream, fire it up and...

    "Secret" mods.

    I put some low intensity rear cargo lights (okay, they are amber LED trailer clearance lights) in the holes left over by the rear seatbelts. Perfect for finding stuff in the dark at camp.

    Rate the rust

    She is a little crusty. Ask for a picture of the crossmember above the rear axle/in front of the spare tire where it meets the frame. I bet this spot is rough on that 100.

    1999 | Bruiser - Yearly Stuff

    I've had this Cruiser for 10 years. It now has 394k miles. Yep, I only drove it 1k miles in 2025. It sat so long at the end of the year the starting battery dipped to 9 volts o_O The General tires are still garbage in the snow. These are my least favorite tires of all time, and they just...

    Unidentifiable vibration felt in floor and steering wheel

    Slow Update: I replaced both CV axles with no change. I have also pulled each drive shaft and experienced no change in the vibration/groan when driving. Boy howdy, it sure is fun to drive in rear wheel drive!!! I even left the engine skid and bud built transmission skid off just to make sure...

    2000 100 Series Getting Really Tired, Anyone Agree its a parts car now? Info in post

    Your Cruiser looks like its in decent condition. It's no creme puff but it is similar to mine... and I keep dumping $$$ into it to keep it on the road. You shouldn't need to do anything with the upper control arm when replacing the CV. If you separate the lower ball joint from the spindle, you...

    Best replacement radiator for the money today...

    I replaced my original radiator back in 2019 at 320k miles with a new OEM due to browning tank plastic. It did not leak. That was 6 years and 80k miles ago. The replacement is now leaking along the upper tank to core seal and needs replaced. This is disappointing and about the life expectancy I...

    Unidentifiable vibration felt in floor and steering wheel

    I pulled the rear ABS sensors and did not see any scoring or marks on them. I have started investigating with wireless chassis ears, but have not been able to pinpoint any issue. I've hooked the microphones to the left and right rear wheel bearing mounting bolts, near the rear pinion on the...

    Unidentifiable vibration felt in floor and steering wheel

    @LTSR and @CanadianRockyCruiser - I have more experience than I'd like to admit with failed ujoints in my Jeeps and this doesn't seem the same. The oscillation sound/vibration the 200 is making remains 100% consistent regardless of throttle or brake input. The only time it changes is when...

    Unidentifiable vibration felt in floor and steering wheel

    I know diagnosing a vibration online is difficult but I am in need of any help as I am loosing my mind. My stock (with exception of a Bud Built transmission skid) 2016 with 175k miles has a vibration and groan (woo-woo-woo sound) that starts around 55 mph and stays pretty consistent up to 80...

    Is this alignment (caster 2°) acceptable?

    It looks like the alignment shop did a "toe-and-go" alignment where they only adjusted the toe-in. The 100 uses the two upper control arm cam bolts to adjust caster. Here is a pretty decent write-up on caster...
