What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (24 Viewers)

[rwbmedusa]

Yes - would love info on how this was achieved.


Ugh I just want something with less poke haha! Hard to run 35's with 0 offset without body lift or true offroad fenders.

I just noticed streaks on the inside of my windscreen and took a look at the seal. I have a couple of st=pots that want some love. So if you end up finding a good spot, please let me know. Did you discuss with Waylan at the Toy Shop?

I haven't talked to him, but that's where I typically take it. I would like to do this myself, but I don't have the garage space to leave the glass out for a few days. I've taken it to a few body shops to get their opinions and estimates, but I'm still not sure which to go with. I'm also still considering waiting and doing myself, but I'm going to be in Tahoe Dec-Mar and I afraid this will just get a lot worse by then.

So far I've taken it to Stan Carlsen, Will's, West Wind, and Avenue. It's between Stan Carlsen and Will's right now.

Mine too...and I'm thinking about some Sliders like you have on yours.. Really like the look. Most Sliders are on lifted rigs...don't really want to lift mine, but I need something since I took the OEM sidesteps off.

 

[NOLACC]

I’m always so jealous when people find those wheels. Did you order them or find them on local classifieds?

My buddy had a fresh set in storage at his shop.

I think the factory running boards are a bit too bulky, and if you take them off the undercarriage is sort of exposed… especially with AHC.

Mine are just the AHC compatible sliders from Slee. I think they look better than factory boards, and they definitely help shield the truck from debris when off-road - with or without a lift.

Agreed. White letter tires belong on square body Chevy pickups and.......well..... nothing else really lol

Y’all just jealous

No solid front diff it’s an ifs 100 unfortunately

 

[pmstancu]

Decided to change radio's position, replace CB antenna, install a second one (UHF) and a duplexer.
Of course that I eventually half disassembled the rig and fixed other things too as they've popped along the process....

Enough for today, it's getting cold.

Now that the radio has been re-positioned under the passenger's seat I had the extra space to fit some switches on the main console. Don't know if I'll go for another version, this is a bit too flexible on the middle, for the moment is good enough.

Very Nice!

Perhaps consider a double din to single din adapter to lend it more strength? Amazon product ASIN B0072LAQ18
May be even use half the space for a handy storage:Amazon product ASIN B09LTV33SB
And how handy would it be to incorporate a wireless charging pad in the extra storage! https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Charging-Android-Samsung/dp/B0B2PWGNK4

Thanks for the tips.
I'm not that concerned with the strength, I'm sure it will keep up with the relative abuse.
Yet, I'll stick to my plan as the upper space is holding the "media" (wanted to say cassette player... ) and the lower is just perfect to fitting 7 ARB...ish switches.
However, as usual, version 2 is being cooked now. Those straight corners are scratching my retina....

Definitely install rock sliders on your stock height 100 Series!

I have a set of the bolt-on OPOR sliders from MetalTech on my '99 UZJ100 which is running Bilstein shocks with OE torsion bars and coils. The sliders help protect the body when 4 wheeling in the Southwest.

Of course there was a version 2...

Ashtray out, using the space for an external speaker for the radio.
Need to trim a bit but otherwise I'm good with it.

 

[daohaus]

Spent few hours foaming and brushing the carpet and detailing the trim pieces as well as closing the leather and conditioning them. It’s hard to tell from the photos but there is a difference. What was really gross was cleaning the fold down arm rest and seeing the grim come off. Chemical brothers interior cleaner and protectant is a great fit this kind of stuff.

Also noticed there’sa hole that you can see down to the road that’s usually covered by a sticker, a sticker?!? Well ihad some 3M film and covered the hole with just in case. Overall I’m happy with how it turned out.

Also got delivery of LED lights i plan on installing on my DIY Prinsu style racks let’s see how those turn out…stay tuned

 

[David*BJ70]

Remove the positive pole from the battery and store for the winter. We'll see him again in mid March.

 

[dubdub20003]

This is awesome! Thank you for the tips. Because when in doubt add more sound dampening. Then add some more. It's not a race car so weight isn't a concern. I have some experience with building SQ systems professionally back when I was a younger idiot and before I lost my hearing (might have something to do with not being able to hear good, haha). I have used audio control products mostly the LC6 or LC2 units but since I am dumping the OEM radio line input or a DSP isn't needed for my application. Thank you sincerely for the ideas.

For my current setup, I am actually installing a 6.5" Bazooka Dual 2-ohm replacement woofer in the OEM location with a quick disconnect that will also run to my 10" JL Audio real woofer in a slim but ported enclosure that will be industrially velcroed to the floor for easy removal behind the third row. Since the JL is so efficient I can run the minimal power and get some decent bass out of it. I want to actually remove the rear climate system and flush in a JL 13TW5 but that will come later on when I do a drawer system. For now, once the interior and sunroof pieces show up I will begin the wonderful task of trying to insert 6 or so boxes of NVX 90 mil deadener with some mass-loaded vinyl blankets. I have some Focal Flax FTX series I believe 6.5" components for the front doors and some cheapo JBL pro series coaxes for the rears. Everything will run off an Alpine INE-w650 head and (2) of JL audio's MX series baby-sized amps that will get shoved into the dash when I install the salvage yard replacement dash. I run this same setup in my Sequoia and it will frequently get near the 115 dB mark and set off my watch warning for loud noises. It is loud but crystal clear. Due to the nature of my hearing loss, I need real physical sound and not the type coming to the ear drum in order to actually enjoy music. I like those amps because I do not have to give up any space or worry about heat, and can get more than adequate power (500 RMS mono for the sub and 500/4 for the speakers). Plus they have the added benefit of being water resistant so should my little electrical dumpster fire get wet from let's say a leaking windshield. I need not worry.
If I am missing anything please let me know cause I really would like to do this job once instead of several times like the other issues this ridiculousness has been.

i missed this stereo discussion by a few weeks, but my build thread may have some pics that may help…. Still working through it on my end to get it where it needs to be for just some solid sound.

"So what happened was..." Build

As it seems this will be a long-term build, I think I owe it to my new ride to document. So what happened was I grew up in New England where rust was the ultimate killer... you could never win, you could just hope to stay in the game long enough to survive. So when I saw this 2001 LC posted...
