Introduction and my 100

[Ridgerunner78]

Great looking cruiser, love that color and the wheels.

How do you like the OME 862 springs? Would you mind pulling a measurement from fender to center of the wheel? I also have an '04 and am looking for a heavier spring that is only slightly taller than stock. I'm having a hard time finding good info on ride height for 860 and 862 springs compared to stock.

Thank you.

21.5” from center of the cap to the top of the arch.

For those of you following my cluster repair I have an update - the stepper motors fixed the problem!

Except for one. I received one faulty motor. The vendor is sending me a replacement and I bought an extra just to keep on hand. I’ll be posting a proper DIY thread soon to detail the process.

Update: all six gauges working perfectly after installing the replacement stepper motor I received a couple days ago.

I've been tackling little repairs and adding mods along the way. The Cruiser is really growing on me. It's not my daily but it's challenging not to hop in it everyday. I get a real sense of satisfaction driving it.

- Finished baselining
- removed rack and sunroof wind deflector
- removed the gnarly fake wood trim inside
- tracked down (mostly) my wind noise
- lubed my gas pedal
- mud flap eliminators
- added @Ramathorn15 puddle/rock/courtesy lights
- @suprarx7nut YotaMD key

Both of the last two are a must for anyone with a 100. The attention to detail in construction of both products is fantastic and mirrors that of the 100. Big shout out to those guys for addressing a need in our vehicles.

At the moment I'm looking for an aftermarket rack. I really like Bowfin's (@dogfishlake) rack design and want to explore that option some more. I'm also really excited to see the @Delta VS front bumper. I think it would look awesome on my rig, too. After that will come sliders and a rear bumper. I also need a set of the one-piece Depo headlights. Mine are in okay shape - except for the chrome "wrinkling" inside the lights. I don't know what causes this but it's not a good look. The side markers are also loose and have moisture buildup after a wash or rain. Also will be working on the side trim soon. You can see the worn silver strip in the first picture.

A couple obligatory pics:

Those wheels are AWESOME. Love that look. Nice choice. I'm such a sucker for a clean 5 spoke design.

Also, thanks for the shout out on the key. Glad you like it!
