Project 180 SAS 100 Series

Quit beating up my future 100 series please.....

Get in line

Santa brought a 100 series for my 3 year old. So I had to make it just like his mom's.

Santa must shop here: Amazon

A video I found on youtube: here

I figured since I mentioned the 40 I should throw in a picture of that.

Not to hijack, but do you have a link to the build thread for you 40? It is beautiful!

 

[Columbia Cruiser]

Awesome!!!

Thank you! It started out as a simple engine swap that snow balled in to what it is. I did take a lot of pictures but never got around to starting a build thread. It will be getting some upgrades this winter.

 

[Redgrrr]

I can say it tows another 40 quite well, thanks Mike. Haha

 

[40Habits]

Would love to see a pic of the hood if you have one.

I finally got a better picture of the hood blacked out.

It's one of my favorites. I wish I had the knowledge and time to do this.

 

[yotasavg]

Thanks for the pic of the hood blackout. I really like that a lot.

 

[DHwreckage]

This rig is amazing!

I guess I have not been on here is a while. This is a very cool build. 105 parts are plentiful here and if I was adventurous I would try to do an SAS conversion using 105 parts while here. But I don't have a garage here and don't trust anyone here to even change the oil on the 100. Nice work.

 

[40Habits]

I guess it is time to up date the thread. Not much has been done over the last year except drive it. I have put over 5,000 miles on it since the swap and I still love the way the ORI's handle.

I did replace the rear u-joints

Once again, great work!

 

[hkeller]

That is one sweet ride.

 

[SS100]

Very nice!

 

[Kabanstva]

Wow. Amazing build.

 

[40Habits]

Thank you!

I should have the Cruisers ready for the Black Hills Cruiser Classic next week.

So... now that you have some perspective: would you do it again? Is this truck that much "better" than a similarly set-up 80 series? And if so, in what ways? (Other than engine power)

[SALTY METHODS]

Would this be considered a 90-series? Or a 180-series?

If I could go back, I would do it again. I may have chosen something a little smaller like a GX470 instead. That is mainly because of the size of the vehicle vs. the trails I am on. If I were to wheel anywhere else the 100 would be an ideal vehicle but it seems like I spend more time trying to buff out scratches than anything else.

I can't compare it to an 80 since I have never driven one. I can only speak for the 100 and it does everything I set out to accomplish. I can crawl a trail and then cruise down the highway in comfort.

There is already a 90 series and I didn't want to confuse anyone, so I did an 180 and went another direction.
