New front ac fan motor/blower. No more dying bearing - hamster wheel noise. Smooth upgrade.
What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

Dobinsons IMS is what I have been considering for replacing the ironman nitros that were on the truck when I bought it but now I suppose I'll check out the tough dog option
I thought Tough Dogs weren't available in the US? That was part of the reason for me to go with Terrain Tamer shocks on my rig.
Developed terrible sound coming from the rear left wheel. Pulled the wheel checked out pad, all good, thought it was parking break falling apart. Ordered shoes also decided to get new rotors and pads while on sale and since I'll be already in there. Good thing I did, when I pulled the rotor, the inner pad was down to the metal and chewed up the back side of the rotor. Turned out it was a seized pin. Took me 30 min to hammer that damn pin out, I thought I was going to break something. Luckily I was abler to get it out, cleaned and lubed. Adjustment wheel was seized too. Whoever did the breaks probably never lubricated anything in there. Not only that, one of the retaining clips, pin and the spring were missing altogether!?!?! Currently waiting on a brake kit from O'reilly to finish the job, should be here in an hour (fingers crossed).

O'reilly came trough. Probably the longest brake job I've ever done, but it's all done now! Nice and smooth, handbrake is much better too. All OEM parts with the exception of the missing clip/spring/pin. While waiting for missing parts, painted the caliper covers with high heat paint, lol.
+5 Horsepower right there. Would've been 10 had you painted them red!
Ya couldn't tell me that yesterday???
My project seem to be moving slow but I had a burst of motivation this week. Engine is almost done, just installed cam seals, crank seal water pump and all necessary parts. I even painted some parts to give it a fresh look.
That's a Porsche's silver racing color, 100hp+ guaranteed! Ask @ChronicleCruiser, he knows about fast colors

I have not, and since I use bulk FluidFilm I have a fair amount left to go through. FF works well for me, I have no need to change.
If it was leaking then the outer thermostat housing likely has substantial corrosion. Easy to replace.

That's some funny chit you guys; I will be needing some racing offroad tires.
I was planning on doing the Wolfbox myself since my rearview distorts everything around. Any complaints?

Ouch. Did this to my 100 over the weekend
I've been very pleased after my eyes adjusted to the screen vs mirror display. Hardest part for me was determining the right mounting position for the rear camera which in my case was as close to the rear class as possible angled just slightly down. Occasionally the startup will revert to the tricamera view vs backup, but that may be a firmware issue that works it's way out.
How did you bend it?
Replaced the steering shaft and all bushings, eliminating a clunk felt through the wheel over expansion joints on road and rough off road. Huge thanks to @Ayune for the detailed write-up that made this straightforward (How To: Replace your Upper Steering Column Shaft - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/how-to-replace-your-upper-steering-column-shaft.1063475/). Replaced the upper bracket assembly containing the ignition rod prophylactically while everything was apart, no evident wear on the old one but at least now I'm familiar with the process.
Rocking an eBay steering wheel from Taiwan while I figure out recovering the old one:
New battery hold down and hardware:
Replaced the rusted transmission cooler hardlines, they were still structurally sound upon removal but more shiny parts = better.
Installed a junkyard AC condenser fan, waiting on the plug and pigtails before wiring it into the pressure switch:

Hit the driver's side wheel on a rock really hard. So hard it broke the steering rack in half
