All shock guard orders are made and most shipped.

I have one 100 tailgate (single door) tailgate lid available (bare metal only) too.

@Kabanstva yours shipped!

Hey Jason, still got my eye on the accessory fuse panel mount plate for the 100 series. Any updates to that one? I'm sure your business is crazy like everything else, just curious. Thanks!

I'm curious about that item as well. Sure would clean up my engine bay quite a bit. @TRAIL TAILOR

Extended links after a lift is IMO one of the best mods you can make to the 100.

Regarding the extended links, I have a relatively mild lift with OME 865s replacing stock springs and slightly cranked TBs. I am about 1.5" over stock height. I am trying to decide if extended links will help a characteristic that I have noticed recently. I didn't notice right after lift, but I replaced the factory links and swaybar bushings with new OEM units at the same time as lift. After attending HIH9 and a few more months in this configuration, I feel like I am more sensitive to undulations in the roadway. I drive on a lot of two lane county roads which will be curvy and have lots of small elevation changes. I feel like the sway when I hit these areas in the road is not as smooth as it should be. Is this lift enough to benefit from the extended links? I believe the extended link will put the sway bar in a more neutral position, but I also believe this causes the sway bar to work quicker. Is this correct, that the vehicle will not have to lean as far before the sway bar will be engaged?

When you lift the rig the sway bar geometry changes as well. So in order to correct that geometry you have to push the bar back to the OE geometry. Basically with stock links and a lift your rig will rollover extra (approx 60-70% of the lift height) until the bar is back to its OE design parameters and then starts to engage/resist rollover weight.. Making the links longer allows the sway bar to engage as soon as the rollover begins, just like it was as a stock set up.

I'm on a 2" effective ToughDog lift. I think the extended links front and rear made a difference for sure. I think they would for the 1.5" as well.

I NEED that 98 in my life. Are they available now?

Just a PM and order away...

Thank you Jason!

Jason, ordered my RLCA skids. I’m thinking black rattle can and then I’ll plug weld the holes at the top of the plate, and then maybe run a bead across the top of the plate where it meets the hanger for extra strength. Thoughts?

 

[1MParker]

Jason,
Could you modify that top plate to fit the S-Pod control box? The box itself is 8" x 5.5"x2.25" and the mounting holes are at 3" x 6.5".

I wouldn't trust that thing in the heat of the engine bay

Unfortunately there are LOTS installed under the hood. I was surprised too, but doesn't seem to affect them.

I'm checking a certain dimension next week for @geanes so I'll take a look. His is a bit smaller.

Install and then run a 1" stitch on both veritcal sides that you can cut with a cut off wheel. If you need to remove the arm later you will need to cut it back off SO MAKE SURE YOU CAN GET A WHEEL WHERE YOU PLAN TO WELD OR STRAIGHT ACROSS THE TOP ABOVE THE 2 HOLES.

@TRAIL TAILOR Are there still plans to offer a fender mounted version of the fuse/bussman panels for the late models? I am looking for the Bussman for an '06 LC.

I’d also be interested in a fender mount similar to the picture below.

I think 06/07 models should have enough room to fit a tray in this location since the charcoal canister was relocated to the spare tire area.

That looks perfect.
