Well...after a nice Labor day weekend trip, I am NOT happy to report that I got the worst highway gas mileage EVER since I have owned my 100 :frown:
With my 100 FULLY loaded, with 4 people and tons of cargo, My first tank of the trip netted me a whopping 8.7 MPG !! :eek:
Yes, my rig...
Well...
Due to the unavoidable and dreaded "Weight Gain", It looks like my trusty OME 866`s are no longer suitable for the back-end of my 100 :frown:
Now (after adding the Slee bumper and all of my "must have" recovery gear) even mildly loaded with gear, I sit about 1 1/2 inches lower...

Well...After putting over a 100,000 miles on my 100, I decided it was finally time to replace the ever-so-famous Timing belt and water pump on my V8.
The job was going quite smooth, in fact, I was VERY impressed with how well everything looked on the front of the engine ...
This is just a shorter version of an earlier, MUCH longer thread.. with simplified instructions for installing lights on the front of your 100 with an ARB, TJM, or any other bumper if you have removed the factory Foglamps or otherwise made them inoperable.
I finally found a set of lights to...
Well, here it is folks, my first "how to" for all IH8 readers to enjoy !..(and if you dont like it...well....tough ! ;)
I recently installed an ARB bull-bar on my 100 and was VERY happy with the results...The look, the function, and of course...the WOW factor from my fellow wheelers (and...
On the 100, at the same time you switch the headlights from low beam to high, the front fog lamps will go out, I am assuming for safety reasons..(fog lamps are not needed w/high beams due to the reflection of light back to the drivers eyes...
Does (or has) anyone know of a way to disable this...
Well...After months of back and forth decision-making while waiting to see what the ARB rear bumper looked like, talking to local fabricators, learning the pros and cons of the (few) bumpers available for my 100, and MANY sleepless nights figuring out how to explain to the other half why I HAVE...
Opinions would be appreciated by anyone who has had experience with both winches and/or the Slee rear bumper for the 100..(sorry if this post is redundant, but I would like ANY info on this subject !)
I was wondering if the rear receiver (on the Slee bumper) was strong enough to use as a...

O.K..... At first I wrote off this "issue" as being a design flaw, but now its driving me nuts !!
From a stand still, or very low speed (under 5mph) with the front wheels cranked 2/3 or more left or right, and I gun the motor (especially on low traction surfaces), The power steering is...
Has anyone had first hand experience with the new Toyo open country m/t tires? I have heard nothing but praise about these tires, and I just ordered a set of 285/75/R16`s for my 2000 100 series...I am just wondering what to expect with these so called "ultimate m/t `s" ... Thanks so much for...
