100 Series General Tech and Classifieds

[Nottajeep]

Ok, I turned down my front 1" and it looks right on rake to me.

Inner fender to ground is 36.25"

Rear fender to ground is 36.75"

No spacers. No rubbing.

You are supposed to measure fender to center of wheel cap... takes tire size variability out of the equation.
also, you will need an alignment every time you turn a TB bolt.

I have a set. I like the looks of them on the front only.

I may have a camping trip soon. If not it's off. Red needs to use it for hauling kids in January.

By the way. The 100 series is arguably the best 3rd while on the planet.

3 rows. Power. Comfy. Looks great. Does great even if it sits up for weeks.

That is if I am trying to measure to help someone else. In this case, I am just looking for keeping it even on both sides.

I put 3000 miles on this truck in the last 18 months. I think the alignment will be ok until I need to rotate in 6 months or so.

You posted measurements so thought you needed feedback.

I want to reindex mine. Total pain in the ass

 

[wngrog]

Nah. Just throwing it out there to pretend I still do tech-ish things.

If you are going to re-index wouldn't you go ahead and get OME bars?

At least Nolen is honest.

Mud member that has built a few custom bumpers is about to make a few for sale. Thread is below:

https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/winch-bumper.826333/

He'll build it with pretty much any vertical setup. I don't like his center guard or the wraparound bars. They are too close to the truck.

Wonder if his standard bumper with only an understated stinger bar, like the one on slee's blueberry bumper, would look good?

 

[ntsaint]

So no?

 

[FJ60Cam]

Looks good to me!

 

[wngrog]

Why not buy the Slee?

 

[Bomar]

I like it but already have a front bumper.. Also Slee is a proven badass bumper.

 

[ntsaint]

Same reason I did the rear custom. I kinda like to be different....

 

[wngrog]

I can see being different if you owned a Heep and there were 75 of them around town but anything you have on that truck is different 99% of the year

 

[ntsaint]

s*** that's a good point...

We'll see what he comes up with.

 

[dnp]

I think his will be slightly less expensive than a Slee, correct?

Yup. Less than half. I'm hoping it will turn out good.

@dnp keep me posted on your ironman decision? I'm leaning that way now myself, but am gonna wait until their Foam Cell Pros are out for the 100. Supposedly before summer...

nts, I'm unfamiliar with the FS Pro model. What is supposed to be different / better about them?

Supposedly just the newest iteration/generation of the shock. Always hard to find good info on ironman.

[wngrog]

I'd invest in a set to test them out. Not too expensive if a gamble. I was going to do Fox but I could not find any for a lifted 100

Seems like the rear shocks on my truck are too harsh. It handles fine but it is jarring at times
