What have you done to your 100 Series this week?

[RobRed]

@RobRed Wow that does look great with the drawer system. Might as well remove that rear view mirror while you're in there considering you won't be able to see sh*t out the back

Thanks for the mirror advice but... I haven't run a rear view mirror in at least 3 years. I have a LCD monitor in it's place to display the front AND rear cameras.

Finally have the bumpers in textured epoxy and sealer. Paint and clear coat to follow.

Also, my new Trail Tailor RTT-EXT sample is finished and on its way to me... Can't wait.

That sounds cool, have any pictures?

Pulled up in my lifted 470 and made a 2011 570 with the ugly lower diffuser (since removed 12- onwards) feel small. Was also nice to see the passers by stop to look at the 470 and ignore the 570. Made me feel special that a 12 year old truck still has so much appeal.

How did you prep the wheel before applying the PD? How many coats and did you remove the wheel from the truck when you did them?

Dunno about @socalmtbiker, but I just did a wipe down to make sure no real dirt/dist on there. Car was recently washed anyway. Did 7 coats each. Just FYI, let each coat dry before applying the next one. 8-10mins between sprays for me in the shade. Oh and I didnt remove the wheels either, just put some plastic bags behind to cover brakes/rotors etc

Fitted a new oem radiator and upgraded heater tee's at the same time.

They are made of aluminium so should last.

Fixed my slooowwwww filling gas tank. 35 mins on the last fill. Thanks to Mud, this was already solved and an easy fix. Deformed flex tube at the gas tank. Happening to 1998, 1999 and 2000's over the last year or so. Back up and running!

Fix: gas tank slow fill, pump keeps shutting off

I took my dad to Batteries+ last Friday to pick up a new Duracell for his 4Runner. After switching them out he put his old one in the back of my truck and forgot to tell me about it. Needless to say I found out it was there this morning.... Luckily it didn't eat all the way through to the carpet underneath, but it still ruined this piece. I'm thinking of just scrapping this carpet and going with one of those cargo mats that I've seen others getting.

Drawers will cover it!!

Link to buy? Thanks!!

Not sure how to post a link, but I bought them from a uk company that specialise in racing car parts, they do ship to the US though. The manufacturer is called LMA but I bought them through a company called demon-tweeks.co.uk. I bought all pipe take offs at 13mm but I think a 16mm pipe with 13mm take off would work more like the original Tee. You do have to trim the hoses down slightly as the aluminium tee's are wider than the originals.

Took my father and the Cruiser up to White Rock Mountain today. Beautiful lookout vista over Fort Smith, Bidville, and Fayetteville.

Are these mini turbines? A bit overkill me thinks...

Bumpers are color matched to the trim.

Installed vaistech SL3B. Fairly quick and easy. Really happy with the results.

 

[mtn2roady]

Whew, bought a 100 series with more surface corrosion than I cared for. Spent three grueling days wire wheeling frame and frame components, suspension and entire undercarriage. replaced spare tire carrier and gas tank skid plate as well as every bolt I didnt like then coated it all in POR 15.

Looking good. Did you spray the underbody or just by hand? I'm doing mine by hand...slowly

 

[mtn2roady]

By hand, wanted to avoid moving parts and bolts and replaced really bad bolts as I went, heating the up with a torch. That got really fun when I was heating the gas tank support bracket bolt with a torch 2 inches from gas tank...keep a spray bottle of water nearby. Trust me on that one More after pics for inquiring minds

Took it to the beach rack lights really came in handy

Your work is looking great!

 

[Catskills]

Went wheeling with my husband and @anavant and got snowed on in Stamford (this mountain town never disappoints!).

We managed to have excellent meals at camp despite the fact that the wind and snow made the Catskills feel and sound like the South Col of Everest last night! The kids loved playing in the snow well in advance of actual winter.

Used my Trasharoo for the first time on my Gobi ladder and it did not move at all on the drive home; I'm really happy I got it.
