    Poll on total brake failure in 100 series

    I hate this thread. I went from "this thing will last me 500k, I'm going to drive the wheels off of it. I'll take it anywhere" to now "my brakes might go out at any minute, time to sell."

    Need suggestion for hot tranny/passenger area

    I had this problem once. It was HOT under there. The seat brackets and my streamlight that I keep under there were very hot. My first thought was "Man, I need more insulation under here." Turns out my rear heater was on max at the foot level. I guess one of my kids was messing around with...

    Door Lock Actuator Replacement

    Not sure if anyone is tracking collar/no collar based on year but I just cracked my 2004 open and it has no collar and uses the D shaft style motor.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Cracked open the cover finally. 8 ring gear teeth and 2 pinion teeth. Might be a record hahaha.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Got all the front driveline parts out after my front diff carnage. Pretty awesome that I can still drive around while I wait for my new locker and gears to be installed. There was a lot of shrapnel on the drain plug. Can't wait to see the carnage inside.

    Yeah it'll make perfect sense once you tear into it.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Those steps are all so you can remove the drive flanges to disengage the CV axles from the hubs. You don't remove the CV axles. Even if you wanted to, that big nut doesn't hold them in anyway. They pass through the bearings and adjuster and lock nuts and then they are splined into the drive...

    Broken Differential Data

    Does anyone have a TJM locker hooked up to an ARB compressor? I already have the ARB in the rear with the ARB compressor so if I went with TJM, I'd have to buy the ARB solenoid actuation switch and harness separately. Don't know how much that would run me. The ARB is going to run me about...

    Broken Differential Data

    I'm probably going to go TJM. I have an ARB in the rear but my buddy can get me a really good deal on the TJM. In the back of my mind I'm wanting to save almost a grand and just do R&P. I tell myself I'll just be more careful. But after some of the stories, including mine, where the truck...

    Not yet. Didn't have anything handy at the time. Drove about 10 miles on the highway and no noticeable grease flinging out from the wheel bearings.

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    What gears did you go with ? Did you install a locker up front ? I called the dealership and was quoted $118 for ring and pinion (parts only ). Seems stupid cheap. I'm going to have to call again tomorrow to verify that. Did you buy the gears from the dealership ? I can get the install kit...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    No hopping to speak of. Front wheels were bumping into the ledge while one was spinning. Front got up the ledge actually. Then I was trying to bump the rear tires up the ledge. I don't actually know specifically when the failure occurred because I never heard a bang or any unusual sounds...

    What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

    Really awesome mod! Broke some teeth off my front ring gear today! 4LO climbing a ledge with the center diff locked and rear air locker engaged. Got off the trail by pulling the drive flanges and front driveshaft and locking the center diff. I'll be in 2wd for a while now. The silver lining...
