What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (49 Viewers)

Got the OME T-Bars installed. Not worried about indexing yet, since the wiring and ARB bumper aren’t installed yet. Right side adjuster arm took way too much beating, penetrating fluid and heat to release. Otherwise, would have been a 1.5 Banana job.

Per my usual late Fall/early Winter routine, applied 3 cans of fluid film to the undercarriage

Yeah I know an old bloke who regularly sprays his engine bay with WD40. Seems to swear by it.

What about deodorised fish oil ? any good

Removed the resonator and location of tail pipe. That along with the new bumper, even with the weight of it, and mounting the spare on the back will give me about 4-5 inches more clearance at the back end.

Notice any change in exhaust sound? And drobe to speak of?

 

[OEMGUY0720]

Took it out for some real world testing.

For now, just a pair of Morimoto Mini H1 8.0 on 55w ballast and 6000 kelvin bulb hid system.

Any tips on how to remove the top nuts on the top part of the frame rails?

No change, at least that i can tell. Took my ever complaining wife for a drive and she didn't notice anything. I will be switching to a stainless steel setup from the cats back, including muffler in the near future as well. That might change the sound a bit.

Thanks for the reply.

It looks so clean tucked up.

This is on the short list. I had DT Catback but couldn’t take the drone at highway rpms

Keep us posted

I almost went with the Thorley system (had some nice headers on another vehicle a few years ago, loud and loved it). I decided to use a local muffler shop based on recommendations. With that said, the stock muffler without the resonator seems pretty quiet.

This is awesome - I will try it and report back!

Drove truck in today after @Superdude gutted the AHC out for me. Front settled a tad, so i'll adjust preload on the bars this weekend. Truck rides great, had a rear trailing arm that had a chewed up bushing that was causing me a driveline clunk. All gone now with the MetalTech rear arms.

The suspension set-up (which was ordered for bumpers) is a tad stiff, but not uncomfortable stiff. Just not wallowy that the full soft setting was. Closer to the sport setting.

Fronts settled a bit so Im gonna adjust those torsions a bit this weekend.

Heres my filler panel.

Hopefully later this month i'll get it into a friends shop to waterjet rear seat mounts.

Eagle Eyes with LED Halos not the old CCFL version.
These are a wonderful choice for a low cost plug n play upgrade. $215 shipped to my door. I am very happy with them so far. They actually have a decent cut-off and output. 55 watt low beam halogens.

Hey, any tips or tricks to installing these with the use of the Halos? I just got a set in. Where do the black and red wires go? Thanks!

not sure where to ask but does anyone have a photo of what the stock angles of the CVs look like?

Minding my own business doing a brake flush when Santa showed up.

Can't afford rubber for them at the moment, but in time...

Santa dropped off a few cans of VHT, bondo and sandpaper.

I need to do that too. Touch up the skids and sliders before salt season begins in earnest.

Huracan storage door in the rear tailgate. As long as my kids remember they can no longer open the tailgate (it would probably lead to injury the way it drops now, + stuff and - the interior spring), all should be good. Stuffed my entire recovery backpack worth of stuff in there—25’ Treaty Oak recovery rope, soft shackles, hard shackles, snatch block, tree strap, winch controller, a hatchet, fuel bottles of pink coolant and motor oil (separate bottles, obv), and probably a couple things I’ve forgotten.

Nice!

Maybe if you're really good, he will bring the other 4!

Legit.

Bet you can’t wait to air down. To like 5lbs.

They should be very close to level all the way across at stock height.
