I'll say.. African outback went out of business and I sold my 100 series.

Hey my friend, we should get together some time. Let me know when you are free and maybe we can get Saleh to come too. I haven't checked on a scale the weight of my 100, but I wouldn't be surprised if I've passed the 3 ton mark. Especially considering that the stock net weight of the UZJ100...

Just to illustrate some of the things I mentioned here. Today, I backed up into what looked like the tracks of an earth mover in the desert. The rear of the cruiser was sitting on the axle and rear tank. The front wasn't as bad though. The cruiser was full with gear in the back. The middle...

@Volcano cruiser I personally have the portable rescue tree (PRT). I only really needed to use it twice and in both occasions it did not anchor to the ground. The first time was in really soft sand in the Dunes in Saudi Arabia. The pump I was carrying is really small and I did not want to...

@Volcano cruiser I have found that A/T tires and better overall than sand/passenger tires. They last longer and aired down they perform just as well. The A/T tires are much better on road than sand tires and in the mud also. In the dunes, they are just as adequate aired down. Keep in mind I...

Welcome to Mud Hamany :D I got to drive the car yesterday for a couple of minutes and for it's age it seemed in good condition. I am not very familiar with the 70 series, so I refered Hamany to you guys. :cool: I did glanced at the engine, it is the straight 6 cylinder 3F. Transmission is a...

Black and White infrared shot of my cruiser.

Nice 105, the Arabic plate basically says it's Saudi & Gulf Specs. I take it you are in Iraq? Care to bring that 105 south to Kuwait to try it out in some salt water mud? I'll pay for washing :grinpimp:

I found that the best way to figure out how to bend the arm is cutting a mock up of the side of the tank from carton and work on bending and modifying the sender unit on it. This will make it easy to figure out the bending angle so that the floater reaches the bottom of the tank. Mind you, I...

Here's my reconfirmation :)

I just looked at some pictures and you are right, even the regular bull bar doesn't have recovery points. I must have had mixed it up with the 80 series or some other bull bar from ARB.

AFAIK, only the regular (no fog lights) ARB bull bar had recovery points for the 100 series. No recovery points on the sahara and the deluxe bar.

what kind of finish did you use? I powder coated mine at a local windows factory and they did an amazing job. Since the ARB bumper is quite high compared to stock, driving in the desert or highway during sand storms strips most of the paint from my front end. I have to apply some...

I really love those brackets. I had to cut 2 small pieces of the ARB deluxe bar mount on each side in order for the shackles to fit. I was really stuck in mud once and my friend who came to get me out got stuck too. It took two tow trucks to winch me out of that mess. The factory hook would...

Most of the things I have (solenid, switch, aux fuse box, etc.) would probably be easy to relocate if it got in the way except the water fill hose for the water tank. I have it running from next to the factory fuse box down next to the exhaust the along the driver side frame rail. The...
