I have headlights from DS for my '76 2002 and '89 Wagoneer. He's super quick to email, answer questions, etc...
It's a good experience. He's sharp on this stuff. Never thought about going that route with my 100 series.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Finally finished(ish) with the drawers, at least for now. I'll wire up some switches for aux lighting in the not-too-distant future, and will probably run an air line from my tank (in stock spare location) up to an NPT fitting with a switch and gauge under the bottle opener.
Sorry, can’t remember. Put them in 2 years ago and the email chain I have doesn’t really disclose much about the bulb. I’m sure if you tell Daniel what you’ve got, he’ll make a recommendation. Mine were $26-28/each, can’t recall.
Loving the bottle opener the most
Haha, thanks. I think I got it from Cruiser Crap 10 or 11 years ago. Not sure if they're still around.
While waiting on mechanic to cut a larger hole in steel for air bag hose to clear, I took a gander under the bonnet and noticed my heater Ts leaking. Had two spares in truck as usual and had them installed.
I got these spare Ts from Amazon. Four for $12. They look, feel and squeeze exactly like OEM..., and so far do not leak.
OLD
NEW
Added a little blue vacuum hose accent to the green beast.

Leatherique and a tire rotation this week. Mounted the thules and took the family to a lake!
Finally buttoned up a complete overhaul of the rear brakes. New everything from the axle flex line onward, plus a ton of restoration of the parking brake hardware and pivots and new bellcrank boots.
I actually enjoyed making new hard lines for the axle, and everything feels a lot better I'm general. Amusingly, the noise that led me to discover that both of my old rear calipers had seized slide pins is still there
Also did all the other major service that was getting overdue, and created a service schedule for myself because this truck is getting on in the years and the corrosion is getting bad so I need to step up my maintenance game if I want to keep it another decade.

Tried my luck replacing my freedom Offroad upper control arm ball joints. I really only needed to replace the passenger side because it was squeaking and the boot was ripped. Well, I got it out no problem, but couldn’t press the new one in without it going in crooked because of the stupid rental press kit not having the right bits.
I had to take out the control arm completely from the car so, cool, now I need an alignment which is fine because I’m due for one. But, now that I did that I might as well replace the driver side and then do an alignment. Anyways, I found access to a hydraulic press and got that done easy peasy.
Tomorrow I have to splice in a new upstream O2 sensor because I got my first ever check engine light (code P0135) and I got the Denso universal sensor kit without plug.
Fun times.

Purchased it! Picked up locally today. 99 with 294k on the clock. PO took care of a ton of big ticket items recently, so it's about 90/95% baselineed. I ordered a bunch of goodies as soon as I got it home, so more to come!
Been wanting to do this for a while but never wanted to take the time to pull remove everything necessary. I put one layer down and anywhere that still had a tinny soud to it a put an extra sheet. Pretty happy with the outcome for $50 and a couple of hours of work.

Oh and rattle canned the grill. I need a to replace the bumper or get it wrapped with the hood.

Good choice! I did both of mine in my 2000 and they were still in perfect condition after 2 years when I sold it. Best $89 I ever spent! That said, mine smoothed out over the course of a couple months, the driver being quicker due to use.
I hope these last that long! My hopes are not that high, based solely on the cost alone. They feel pretty solid though. Fingers crossed.
I couldn’t get the link to pull up who you bought them from, but I think I got mine from Tom’s Auto on eBay. They were $54/drvr and $35/pass. However, I think you’ll be impressed for the price. Blue was my daily before rust claimed her life, but the seats looked new still when I sold her last week or so ago.
