What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (21 Viewers)

[Idaho yota]

BFM Wheels pro series. Running BFG KO2

Tires say 34"x10.5R17

I rattle canned the wheels to match the wrap job. Truck is actually a gun metal gray color but I was beating it up bad. Wrap job has held well to scratches.

 

[LEX]

Did they retract quicker/better?

They feel the same to me.

How DoD this do for you? I may do that of it works. Mine are looking pretty bad.

Soaked in Tide and then pressure washed. Click the link in my original post.

 

[Hokie LX]

Replaced the fuel filter, plugs and gave the LX her first wash in 4 months. Took a time lapse video of the washing process (wheels, wheel wells, undercarriage and windows were already done at this point.

[Grego]

Went from this...

To this. 

Took way longer than it should have to remove the AHC, swap out the suspension and the axles, bumpers and sliders.

 

[reznunt]

spacers too? what size spacer and wheel offset?

What wheels are on the cruiser in the background?

The wheels are 16x8 +45, and the spacers are 25mm. So effectively it's 16x8 +20.

The Tundra in the background has Volk TE37X on it.

4x4 labs rear bumper kit shakedown run was successful. Pushed it a little harder than usual to try to find weak spots but she's solid (for now). Luke is the man.

Replaced hood struts. Purchased off ebay as a direct replacement. The direct replacement was 3/4" shorter but for $18 for the pairt I cant expect OEM quality.

you can get a pair of strong arms on amazon for sub $30. Great quality and OEM lengths and load support.

Bought a set of Strong-arms a year ago and they work great in the summer, but not the best in colder temps. I would recommend OEM if you live somewhere that gets snow.

I got the strong arm brand all around, been in negative 30 degree weather in Montana and zub zero other places. No problem with mine. Maybe yours were faulty? Or mine were exceptional?

 

[JAntosch]

Replaced the heater t's and hoses to finish up the baseline, OME heavy duty 2.5" installed with new shoes (275/70/18 KO2).

Time to start looking at armor...

 

[Rolocado]

New parts fer sure

 

[LouisianaRubicon]

Installed the Grom Vline. Happy with it so far, has a few quirks but overall it's a big improvement over the 10 year old interface.

 

[rjsimz]

Just took a plunge and ordered a set of these sun shades for the windows. Florida sun is HOT and I've got kids so hopefully it'll make their lives better in the rear seats. I tried doing some research on anyone's experience on them but didn't find anything. I'll post an update when I receive them.

Nice! Do post up a review

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Received some sway bar links from @abuck99. I will extend these 2" with HD DOM tube.

I will be offering these in OEM extended and aftermarket extended versions SOON.

@reevesci Whenever you have these available I will definitely jump on them, I'm in need of some new links now that I lifted my truck. Out of curiosity, what would be the differences between OEM extended and aftermarket extended?
