100 Rebuild

[MEMCruiser]

I am in first stage of build on 1998 100 which used to be wife's DD.





So far all I have done is add tires (Toyo Open Country 275/70/16) and remove the running boards

.

Next I want to add sliders.

Bring that thing to Hot Springs in Oct for the Crawl and we'll get her broke in!

This should be fun.

Good looking truck. Wngrog in our club built a 100 all the way from stock. He will be a good resource for you:

Thanks guys. I will be in Hot Springs for sure in OCT. Actually going there in 30 mins. Wife's family has a place there, I think I will keep her just for that.

Damn I miss that Cruiser.

 

[Bodean]

You say that about all of your Cruisers. Ha!

 

[wngrog]

Nope, I have never said that about any other Cruiser BUT that one. I have never regretted a single sale but that one.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Isn't there another a new 100 member in Jackson? Where are those pics? Wngrog any advice would be appreciated. I am hoping to have sliders by OCT.

 

[wngrog]

I loved mine. Not the best wheeler in the world, but for its size, it is an amazing ride.

Does yours have an electric locking differential? Some 98s-99s came with them.

 

[MEMCruiser]

Rear differential will lock with a rotary switch in the cab. I am so new to this four wheeling stuff I am not sure if this is electric or not, I am assuming it is.

That is it....that is good.

Lift from Sleeoffroad.com - Toyota SUV Off-Road Outfitters

Go all Old Man Emu, 33" tires and some sliders. Bumpers can come later.

 

[MEMCruiser]

I just got back from superlift. That place was packed with toyota trucks. Saw two land cruisers, a 40 and a 80.

Lift from Slee and then old man emu? I think I can handle that. Buddy in memphis just put that on his 80, how different is that gonna be and do I need to then drop differential? It seems one thing always requires you to do two other things to do it right.

Going to order sliders in the next few weeks. Anybody want to help?

... just holla!

 

[Bomar]

Yep superlift had the TTORA event this weekend.

You bring the beer and we'll give you all the advice you want. Can't guarantee relevancy though.

 

[wngrog]

I paid a little extra for the bolt-on 100 sliders. I got them on easily. No brainer really.

Talk to Slee about the lift. Get everything they recommend. I did the bars, drop kit, and rear springs. Shocks all around. It is what you need.

Did you use the locking differential any at Superlift? Lots of good wheeling for a stockish Cruiser there.

 

[MEMCruiser]

I locked the rear on two climbs. I forget the names of the trails. I had the wife and two kids under six in the back so I took it easy. I only did trails with a one and two ratings. They do have lots of variety and the park was packed with lots of toyotas. So you guys like natural light?

 

[MEMCruiser]

Here are some lousy pics. Not sure if it is iphone or me.

I can not wait till my 16 month old son gets older. He is gonna love this.

It's ok for photography but that's the kinda ber you get shot for.
