What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (92 Viewers)

[ERMB]

Let me know if you get a set, I've been eyeing them. I don't plan on Wheeling my 100 like my FJC and I think Aluminum would suit it just fine (famous last words...)

I've been eyeballing a lot of things lately, this included. I have an overwhelming desire to get a rear bumper... but having trouble rationalizing this! So I plan to finish some of the projects I have put off which should keep me busy enough to think more about the bumper situation.

Pulled front windshield, sanded all rust and treated with rustproof md. Got new glass installed.

 

[heymarv]

New OEM gas struts for the rear hatch. So worth doing, they were starting to sag with the cooler temps. The new OEM ones lift the hatch on their own!

That's exactly my situation too. I have not a single justification for a rear bumper or Icon shocks or roof rack or rear drawers etc etc.
But I want them all

Lol sounds like you got the mod bug! If you have a front arb bumper, you need the rear to match or it ends up looking incomplete imo. Plus you don’t have to worry about slamming it on rocks, something you definitely can’t do with the plastic oem piece.

Sure you can.

It doesn't work out well.

But you can.

Agreed! I have slammed almost every panel on a rock. Here's what my rear plastic looked like after the last ride

 

[BenCC]

I have finalized this mount. Click if you are interested.

Note: This was printed in ABS, sanded and painted.

Wow... look at that rust. Holy crap that’s bad.

 

[Flipped Bezel]

Finally changed out my (mostly missing) crusty engine bay fuse box gasket. Ordered 10' of the square gasket and have enough left over to do it again a few more times if I ever need to.

Cleaning the dust and crispy OEM o-ring fragments from the lid and inside of fuse box took most of the time to do this. I just rolled the new gasket into the cover o-ring groove with a quarter and used a small screwdriver to get it seated tightly in the corners. Fuse box lid is good and snug now...

 

[HighMileageCruiser]

Removed running boards, roof rack, rear spoiler, and fender flares. I have had my hundy for about 4 months, and I have to say I should have done this the weekend I bought it. It looks so much better without all of that "stuff".

Care to sell me your rear spoiler?

Lubed driveshafts and u-joints. Despite being dealer serviced for 90% of its life, it doesn’t look like they serviced the drivetrain. Lubing virtually eliminated the thunk that had developed when coming to a complete stop or taking off from a stop.

 

[Maxthrust27]

Installed arb bumper and Smittybilt X20

 

[Biga27110]

Not today, but recently had a rear bumper and sliders fab'd up. In addition I installed some rear work lights, HID fogs up front, reinforced and repainted my homemade roof rack, installed a flowmaster 40, and of course added 30hp with the retro trd stripes! Getting ready for Kokopelli Trail in a few weeks!

How do I buy this decals

 

[suboptimusprime]

FINALLY got around to cleaning up and priming my Metaltech 4x4 sliders. Will paint and install over the holidays when my brother in law is here to lend a hand.

You buy them raw?
Was thinking of buying them during the bf sale

Yep Raw. Picked them up during the last group buy--was too good of a deal. I followed the directions here from MetalTech:

A Guide on Painting Raw Sliders

Learn the art of transforming your Raw Sliders with our detailed guide on 'How to Paint Raw Sliders,' authored by Metal-tech 4x4's founding owner, Mark Hawley.

Only thing I did extra was wipe down with acetone and lightly sand before priming since thats what the primer said to do.

 

[MongooseGA]

Oil change, 5 tire rotation, greased all 16 zerks my truck now has (4 u-joints, 2 drive shaft, 2 FUCA, 4 RUCA, 4 RLCA), chassis wash (easy when the wheels are all off), body wash, quick wax, window polish and sealant. Finished off with the new 200K high mileage club badge. This is about 45k miles late, and it'll likely only be another year and a half before she's ready for the 300k. (don't mind the smudges.)

She gets the garage tonight. Tomorrow she's back in the driveway and the W123 gets her spot back.

She's got a date with the doctor in 2 weeks for a partial front end rebuild (complete new LCAs and bushings/LBJ, rack bushings, TREs, diff bushings). Then @JT4runner and I are going to tag-team her for a paint correction and ceramic coating.

More Alcan 5000 prep:

• Replaced bad SPC ball joints with their new ball joint kit
• Installed the Delta Systems panhard drop I got at HIH.
  • Dropped 3" - nearly level now
  • Once loaded with gear and 50gallons of gas it'll be level
• Replaced front sway links with Trail Tailors extended version

Just wrapped up changing the front and rear differential fluid, also did the transfer case. Would have done the tranny also but that was done recently. Definitely a one banana job. The hardest part? Pumping the damn fluid if you have a manual pump.
