    100 Horn Sounds On its Own

    Gents - I have a 2000 UJZ100. Recently the horn began to sound as I pulled out onto the road after picking up my girlfriend. No amount of turning the ignition on and off or pushing the remote entry button on the key had any effect. I pulled the horn relay and we went on our way. The next day...

    Eoof rack options

    I'm a big fan of DiamondRax. They're quite like the legendary old Con-ferr racks, since they're built in the same place and one of the guys at DiamondRax used to work with Pete Condos. They'll accommodate your sunroof if you have one. There are photos of mine here.

    DiamondRax for the 100

    I'm glad to hear that you've had good luck with them. One always worries about adding yet another motor that can fail.

    Planning a dual battery setup and accessories

    I think there are a number of viable ways to set up two batteries in a Land Cruiser. This time around for my UJZ100 I went with a battery isolation module from Hellroaring Technologies alongside a marine battery switch from Blue Marine for manual cut-over and winch isolation. I have a 300A...

    Need a shop recommendation in Torrance, CA area(south bay)

    Far and away the best shop in the South Bay is Bothwell's. They're not Land Cruiser specialists per se but they're off-road and baja racers in their spare time and they have a lot of experience with Land Cruisers. They've worked on my FJZ80 for a decade or more as well as my UJZ100. They did...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Hey, I'm a big fan of aluminum. I'm typing on a computer hogged out of aluminum, my motorcycle is mostly made of billet and, as a pilot, I trust aluminum with my life. Not so much as a skydiver. Parachute hardware is all drop forged or stainless steel. But my comment was aimed at the...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    The antenna is a Diamond CR8900A mounted on a Diamond K9000LRM antenna mount. (Which will mount on a DiamondRax rack. And Christo Slee, who made my rear bumper, is from South Africa, the diamond capitol of the world. Coincidence? Or conspiracy?) The antenna stores horizontally, fully extended...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Thanks! I'll need to get the light bar actually wired in first. That's the next project. As for the pics... it's nice to find a chance to use the Nikon. Shot for a living when I was a kid. Now it's rare to have the time.

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Always a good question. In fact, many web sites don't post pricing. In DiamondRax case, I suspect it's that much of what they do is custom. They'd rather talk to you, figure out your needs and then give you a quote. I suspect you'll see a price list on their site sometime soon. My rack was...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    I expected a lot more noise than there is. It's really not noticeable. This is a low profile rack and yes, it's possible the Rigid light bar is acting as a fairing. They do make two taller rack designs and they put fairings on those. I mentioned that the rack is so solid that it actually...

    New rear bumper for my 100 series

    Great looking bumper! It looks like the design is very similar to Slee. At first blush it seems like Christo may use a more robust hinge pin design, but it's hard to tell from the pics. Is there a mechanism to lock the swing arms open somehow? Is the trailer receiver tow-rated and, if so...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Thanks! That's a good question. Probably because I mostly use the truck in the mountains so sliders haven't been a priority. They're in the plan though. Prior to that I need to get the light bar and antenna wired up.

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Wow. What a pleasant guy. If there's anything in these photos that would lead anyone to believe that this is a cheap, aluminum, bolt-together rack, I don't see it. The thing is welded together of 16 gauge steel and is so solid that it actually rings like a bell if you smack it with a mallet...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Photo – As promised – DiamondRax rack on UJZ100 OK gentlemen – Here they are... pics of my new roof rack by the boys at DiamondRax. The set is here. Note that the Rigid LED light bar mounted on the rack and the Ham antenna motorized mount (which isn't mounted yet) have yet to be wired in. I...

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Really? Yeah, I'm making this up. The weather was bad yesterday. The sun's out this morning though. Taking pictures today and, with any luck, will have them posted today as well.

    DiamondRax for the 100

    Hey gang – The guys at DiamondRax finished the rack for my UJZ100 and got it mounted the other day. It looks and fits great! Very impressive fit and finish on the thing. We decided to allow an opening for the sunroof. The frame for that is in and looks terrific. The insert for it is due...

    100 Antenna Switch

    Thanks Christo. Had hoped to find a switch cover with antenna icons of course. After giving it some thought I think I can get away with a two position pushbutton switch, rather than a momentary up-null-down rocker. This antenna is never going to half way up and the antenna motor has cutout...

    100 Antenna Switch

    Well I've spent several hours now reading nearly every thread on Mud having to do with antenna switches and haven't found an answer to my question. I DID, as I always do here, find a lot of inspiring LC mods though. Well worth the time spent. Here's my question: I'm installing a ham radio...

    Lids for 100s

    Hi Kevin – I thought I'd round out the year with yet another friendly plea for a 100-series tailgate lid. I would love to have the benefit of your expertise applied to my 2000 UJZ100 tailgate. I hope 2011 is a great year for you! Bill Thackrey

    High pressure on the low pressure side of the AC System.

    "Balancing" in A/C biz The term "balancing" is a term sometimes used in the refrigeration business that referrs to adjusting the level of charge. It's a pretty arcane term, but it's more accurate than "charging" since sometimes the system is overcharged. A refrigeration system is properly...
