What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (19 Viewers)

Real nice! Like your front bumper too!

I ordered a rear bumper with tire carrier from Mike at BIOR (about 12 weeks out), extended travel rear shocks
IMS59-60682 - Rear IMS for 0-3" lift - 100 Series figured my OEM shocks wouldn't like the additional weight in the rear and finally some OSRAM Night Breaker Laser bulbs for my low, high beams and fog lights. The fun starts Wednesday when everything (but the bumper) should come in.

Liking that Blackfly sticker! You've been to their fishing lodge in the Bahamas?

Several times. Even caught a permit at cross harbor down near sandy point a few years back. Single occupancy rooms, great food, awesome guides, fishing at Moore’s island, conch ceviche prepared fresh at lunch on the skiffs, and chilling with Clint make it my favorite lodge.

That's awesome man. I'd love to make that trip. We know Vaughan from his restaurant in St. Augustine. I've talked to him about the Lodge, but I've never been. Do have one of his paintings in my office though.

Nice painting of a mixed bag. I like his paintings, but don’t own any.

Extended the keyless entry range with @Ayune mod. Probably the most satisfying work I've don't on my truck, and I done a lot. Forgot to take a pic of the new antenna by the radio, but the thread shows how to do it.

Extending keyless entry range

Also replaced the telescope slider and bushing while I was working in the area. The slider was probably fine, but the bushing was toast. Moves a little smother and wiped off some extra grease off while in there.

Fished with a Blackfly guide out of Nassau named Ruben. We were on the edge of tropical storm Debbie and it was rough. One fish that day but it was the biggest bonefish I’ve ever caught.

Finished up the front diff lock switch change out today. Dash lighting will illuminate it at night.

I turned it on when I made the pictures.

Been staring at my stock amp under the passenger seat ... looks like a prime location for a ham radio.

Replaced the starter and made a video of doing it.

Looks factory! Where did you get the dimmed illumination line? Was it something behind the dash panel already?

Nice boat rig in that painting. I hunt some public land that is no gas motors allowed. Electric trolling motor or paddle in only.
We have a canoe with a trolling motor. I throw the canoe on my roof rack once in a while. Works out alright. Can't wait for duck season, except this hurricane is about to destroy some habitat.

Thanks for the info.

Great video! But as soon as I saw you squatting on top of the radiator to lift the manifold I knew I would pay someone to do this when that fateful day arrives!

Haha. I used a bunch of shop rags later to make it a little more comfortable.

Went to the DMV and finally got plates, replaced rear hatch hydraulics, pulled shifter console and found some relics and replaced every bulb I could. Spot the lights that are still failing. Help

So I was trying to cancel the steering wheel retraction via my version of Techstream and I was not able to do it. Seems like this version (14.20) doesn’t have the customisation option.... any ideas? Doesn’t have the Health Check option either.

Finally got around to removing the ugly faux wood trim around the center console. Major upside that it kept the center console in great condition underneath. It looks like a new part now! I also added a Yak Attack 8" GT175 track. Works great with the Ram mount products that I bought. I also used Yak Attack's Fullback system underneath. Certain parts of the install of the track were easier than expected. I had no idea removing the center console cover was so easy! Other parts were tougher, like making sure the track was PERFECTLY aligned before drilling 8 holes in my previously perfect dash. Also, some of the rear holes were tough to drill because the front windshield got in the way of a 90 degree angle to the dash. Also, I realized that the 5/8" long #10-32 bolts for the Fullback plates weren't long enough. Quick trip to Home Depot for 8 #10-32 1" bolts fixed that. Took an entire afternoon to get everything set up just right. I would totally do it again after having used it for a few days. Also, just say no to the faux wood trim. That completely changed the look of the interior.

Here is the old look of the center console. The discoloration below the left vent is from starting to remove the trim. Then I thought a before/after photo might be nice. Holy crap there was so much dust in my truck from Medicine Bow 2 weekends ago!

After with the new track installed:
