Manhattan's latest activity

I'm planning to add a 200 LX within a year. 100 is my spirit animal. Although sometimes I do consider that I'd get in to a 200 faster if I sold the 100.

I can empathize. Don't tell anyone in the 100 forum, but I recently considered selling my 2006 with 197,000 miles. Oh.. wait. Sorry guys. I'm so ashamed, but I did look at a bunch of replacements for the 100. I drove the various versions of the...

I'm looking again at options to replace the WetherTech (intentional typo). The 100's getting new carpet and leather, and there's no way the curly misshaped WeatherTechs are going back in. I've had several sets of these. I keep making the company...

Welcome to 'Mud! This topic gets covered off and on. There are a handful of threads worth going through. Also, 'mud's search function kind sucks. You're better off using Google, e.g. "leather seats 100 series ih8mud" to find threads in this...

A few years ago, I had a somewhat similar issue. The 100 ran normally. I parked it. An hour later, I went to start it and it sputtered, coughed, started - ran rough - rougher at low RPM, stalled... kept doing this. I called my buddy Dugan who...

THANKS!

@Jczajka which dealer is ^that^ one?

I'm having Tony's Upholstery do the seats. It's a family business in Norcross. Tony did the seats in my '84 Pickup and crushed it.

Welcome to 'Mud!

This guy! Nicest dude ever. Fit was perfect!

I like(d) the idea of a kit. I talked with the upholstery shop owner about them, and they do install them - no hate for the kits. But for the extra few hundred bucks (front and middle rows, arm rests, center console) and knowing it'll be perfect...

Also consider supporting local, US based products with your money. It is hard to agree with the moral compass of some foreign businesses at the moment.

As of 3 days ago, I'm back on this. I'm going with a local upholstery shop - they did my '84 Pickup and did a great job - to do the front two rows, arm rests, etc. custom (not a kit). I'm scheduling it today, hoping to get on their schedule in...

Just FYI, you can remove the speaker cover by just removing the lower perimeter plugs and bolts then prying the bottom apart and from there you can access the 3 screws or nuts that hold the speaker cover onto the door card.

SPC is still the way to go for lifted (bigger tire) applications IMO. Your complaint about the squeak and bang are most likely attributed to worn ball joint(s). The SPC upper ball joints do wear out quickly when wheeled hard, but they are...

The GROM does everything - Apple CarPlay, keeps the terrestrial radio stations, retains that 120p resolution screen. The only problem with the GROM is it's STILL glitchy. They shoot out updates (a lot) to fix glitches. But it's still glitchy...

I got SPCs when they were cool. That was 100,000 miles ago. I wouldn't complain if they were great until now; they've kinda sucked most of the time - transitioning from squeaky to bangy (sorry for the technical terms). What's everyone liking...

2006; 197k, last fluid and filter at 180k Yesterday morning headed out, truck was cold (well as cold as a truck can be in Atlanta in July) and... - Backed out of the driveway, stopped, shifted to D, pushed the throttle... and went nowhere. Just...

This week's glitch: At startup, the system doesn't connect, it tries, then crashes, restarts, tries to connect - doesn't, then crashes, restarts, tries to connect - doesn't, then crashes, restarts, tries to connect - doesn't, then crashes...

One of the things that you've already done correctly - in my opinion - is making your base plates large and covering the body mounts. Most aftermarket "sport" cages don't even do that, so you're ahead of the game.

I really like where you're heading with the design. I like the 2nd version also. But, I've only done a handful of cages. My general view has been: It will not be the absolute safest it can be... but it will be exponentially safer no cage. The...

i built a hand throttle out of an electric cruise actuator and window switch. 🤣

@littlevulture I had a similar setup on a Jeep - a bike brake lever, on the trans shifter, as a hand throttle. It worked well for that poorly thought out build - a V8 with a lumpy cam and difs that needed to be regeared. For some reason, I burned...
