I just started to get a crackle from my rear passenger door so I’m starting to think about doing a speaker/amp/sub upgrade. I got the old nakimichi stuff though. There hasn’t been a ton of stuff on wiring new aftermarket amps in on that
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Replaced front and rear endlinks and sway bar D bushings. Rears still looked pretty good, but the end link bushings were hard as a rock. Fronts definitely needed replacing. They were flaking apart and also hard as a rock. Hard some semi-rusty bolts that took a while to get off, so I cleaned up all the rusty bolts as well while I had them out. Overall not too bad of a job, Just took longer than expected.
Old Rear Endlinks (I thought I had a comparison pic with the new ones, but I guess I didn't take one.)
Front hardware (old vs new)

Kickers in the doors and the sub. Here’s the links to everything I used.
No particular reason I picked out all kickers, I just used what Crutchfield recommend. The only thing I knew I would use going in was the sub, because I knew it would fit based on the Subwoofer thread.
The truck had a cheap Dual Touchscreen radio in it when I bought it. I’ll change that out at some point in the future, but for now it’s fine. And most importantly, no more hissing.

Thanks!
Orange tinted the fogs on my '06 LX and doubled up my LED bars on my '00 LX.
Took way longer than expected, but shes finally finished.
Regarding the sunroof drains, I found this cheap brush that fits and works perfectly. I think it will be a more thorough cleaning than the weed whacker line that is often recommended.
Nice find!
Had the flashing airbag/SRS light on the dash and pulled a b0136 code, which is driver's side seatbelt pretensioner circuit. Removed belt assembly and shipped it off to Safety Restore in MA to repair. Seat Belt Repair Service | Airbag Module Reset - Safety Restore - Safety Restore - https://www.safetyrestore.com/
They turn these around in 24hrs, which is awesome. Got it back, reinstalled, and no more flashing light. Winning.

What started as a small thought, snowballed into a big project: I had some loose/bad powder coating on my trailer hitch that was allowing some corrosion to creep in. I decided to take the receiver hitch off and clean it up...then there were the two broken mounting bolts due to rust....then drilling, heating, soaking in penetrant, the multiple trips for more drill bits, the removal of the spare tire and rear bumper, the unsightly condition of the rear bumper structure pieces and the sanding, stripping, refinishing of those, the ordering of all new hardware for them and for the hitch mounting bolts, the tapping of all the holes, and then finally the reinstallation of the entire rear bumper assembly and the refreshed receiver hitch! My "it should just take an afternoon" estimate turned into 10 days and the virtual restoration of everything behind the rear axle.....that no one but me will ever see or notice!

Replaced the fuel filter and little bracketing bushing things on the radiator line.
Got a weird noise coming from I think the fuel pump now though. Will diagnose tomorrow.

New MAF sensor on our ‘04. After about 8 O2 sensor changes this, along with replacing the leaky air filter housing, appears to have fixed our p0430/0420 codes.
Also finally got the (already damaged by a couple incidents) trim a car wash tore off in February painted and remounted.

Complete fog light delete. I don’t think I’ve ever really needed them in the seven plus years of ownership. The KCs were OK but a bit Jeepy — for me, anyway. The stock ones were filled with water and mildew. So far I like the clean look. Hopefully a dense New England fog isn’t headed to GA anytime soon.

cleaned the engine bay,
Finally wired up the solar input to the redarc bcdc. Also wired the winch with a heavy duty BlueSea ANL fuse block and HD battery switch (can handled sustained 600 amps — don’t need that much but
what did you use?
First time using the roof box on the 100 and just got a full set of sunshades from heatshieldstore.com
