What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

I had read about Daniel Stern Lighting on here and bought some halogen bulbs from him. They are made by Flosser and provided enough light that I don’t think I need to upgrade assemblies to LED.

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.
 
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.

What bulbs did you end up getting? I've been looking at them as well.
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
 
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.

Added a little blue vacuum hose accent to the green beast.

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.
