What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (13 Viewers)

[JunkCrzr89]

Replaced a ball joint boot, about an hour in and out (00 LX470). Took care of the squeak, did a close inspection to make sure there wasn’t any metal shavings. Not sure if this was the right move but it was the path of least resistance. Thoughts on doing this over replacing whole joint welcomed.

If no vertical play in the joint, then should be fine.

my truck has questionable paint so i cut as best i could last weekend. this weekend i micro polished it and ceramic coated it. it’s not perfect but the truck looked like s*** before so this is like having the truck repainted.

That turned out great! My LS was rough too I finished it up today, 4runner next then I get to do the 100 series.

way less orange peel than mine. looks really good. the white should be a bit easier.

@blackohio . Are you happy with the carrier? Like the way it functions? Any slop in the receiver hitch?

yeah, it’s been rock solid. no play. good options, made by dudes who care.

Ya. Just looked them up. Looks super solid and nice. Pricey though. $$$

Moved my backup light. Running the wires though the ladder tube was fun, but worth the effort.

Both sliders are painted and drying. Surprised how well the paint went on and holy crap the blisters... they're everywhere!

That looks amazing. What was your process/compounds used?

 

[blackohio]

cut pad - rubbing compund
polish pad - meguiars micro glaze
ceramic coat

it needs someone who knows what they’re doing to go through the gamut

i just was like paint sucks, **** it

Installed the Badland Apex winch on the @TRAIL TAILOR hidden winch mount.

i have this same winch and functionally it’s been flawless but that cheap hook quickly started rusting. I replaced it with a factor 55 hook this weekend.

This is what I do for a living, black or any dark color will always be my favorite to work on.

Blisters ?

 

[custyota]

Finished re installing sliders and rear bumper after spraying them with a fresh coat of paint. The raptor liner on the side of the cruiser came out pretty good. Have a little overspray to clean up.

Bump it off road, one of their first versions

I used one of these spray can triggers:

As you can imagine (hopefully) the trigger is not east to press and I went through 6 cans switching between hands and alternate fingers LOL...

Finally got around to a tint, 5% rear 35% front.
Rhino rack with the backbone Pioneer setup! was alittle more fiddly than i thought i would be but got it done.

For the backbone do you need to remove the long cover that slides into the channel?
