What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (39 Viewers)

[TRAIL TAILOR]

View attachment 1544632 Installed new Tough Dog shocks all the way around.... And I did NOT cut holes! 45mm adjustables in rear, and 41s up front.
Thanks @reevesci! Maiden voyage tomorrow, will report back.

Where did you set the 45s? I'd recommend around 5-6 for in town DD.

Cleaned seatbelts with an OxyClean + purple degreaser + hot water mixture. Disconnected belts top & bottom with 14mm wrench, pulled them all the way out and clipped them so they wouldn't retract:

Let them soak overnight in 5-gallon bucket on the front armrest:

Next morning, pulled belts outside the car and around the back, held with a bungee cord, closed doors, and hosed them down:

Belts are shiny new now and retract much better. I also added the tape kit (part no. 73205-48011) to the shoulder loops to help retraction.

Water in bucket was completely nasty, just from soaking overnight:

Man I need to do this. Thanks

 

[Thunder90]

I think I dialed them back 5 clicks from full stop... making that 4? I'll click em up 1 or 2 before hitting the highway in the am.
What do you recommend offroad? I have a pretty washed out dirt road in my hunt club that I bomb around 25mph. Some washboard and mud holes.

TIP: Before you start check the weather for the NEXT day so the belts will be able to dry completely before you let them retract back. I pulled them up onto my roofrack and let them sit there in the sun for a few hours after rinsing.

Darn it! Serves as a reminder that I need to clean mine as well. They're starting to retract slow, but this is not a task I'm looking forward to. Good on you for getting 'er done.

New 100 (60 and 80 series too) REAR antenna OR LED pod mount. I'll have a price on these in a couple of days. Need to weld them out and finalize numbers.

Hoping for a 85-95$ shipped bare metal price per PAIR. Once I get to Redding I can get some powdercoated for ~10$ more per pair.

Thanks guys,

J

That's a good idea using the bungee cord. I had my girlfriend hold them by the buckle as I pressure washed them. She wasn't too happy about that, but got a good laugh after it was all done.

First hwy ride impressions: wow! night and day difference from the OESpectra shocks that came w the rig. I dialed the rears to 7 for highway and it handled beautifully. I have some weight in the back and the ride was perfect. Nice quick rebound, but not harsh. No longer is the truck floaty, soft and splashy on the dips. At 180k, it feels almost like a new ride on the road. Can't wait to test the trails next.

All I can say is when the "MAN" says these shocks are AWESOME and goes on about the technical/performance aspects and the "WOMAN" loves the ride of a lift and heavy cruiser... Enough said for me.

Glad you enjoyed the highway ride. NOW go find a washboard road, turn them down to 3-4 and run 35-55 mph.... I think you'll have the same reply afterwards.

C,

I hope to get the brackets made in the next 9 days before the move. I have the diff drop in stock.

J, I couldn't have said it better. Bombing run in woods scheduled for this weekend.

Installed the Morimoto 2-Stroke LEDs from the RetroFitSource in my high-beams - so far, I'm quite pleased with the output and happy to report they work fine as DRLs (lower output, no flickering).

 

[fjman]

I've got a list of stuff to do and parts to install but no time! I ordered some Firestone Destination MTs today. I'm excited to get some new shoes on the LX in a week or so! Plus, I get to go from 16s to 18s. I'll post up some pics when they get mounted up

 

[Matserelli]

Replaced cigarette lighter socket with HDMI and USB port for my Aloine ILX-207

About to do the same.

 

[Lndcrzr100inTN]

I have some 2865's waiting to go on with new shocks. Has it settled any? I don't have anything heavy on my truck.

No I have driven over 500 miles.

 

[Chris325i]

Record MPG. I actually started at 10000' drove up to 13000' then down near sea level.

 

[CharlesShutt]

I removed the side steps. I enjoy flashing a little torsion bar now and then.

 

[REZARF]

Popped on a set of Bora spacers...

were you in neutral?

 

[LXstatic]

It was a couple of weeks ago, but nonetheless I had a Borla Pro XS muffler (p/n: 40358) installed and got seated next to an 80 friend...

 

[bucfl]

Really like that sand color a lot.
