What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (46 Viewers)

[JAntosch]

Can you post this pic again in 3 months, I'd be interested to see how much the OME settles. Looks Awesome.

Doubt it'll go that long without plating up, but I'll post a before and after as armor is added!

Sweet. How many miles?

Upgraded the electrical system ground. The way the grounding is done on the 100 series does not support the use of the frame as a ground. Also if you ever loose the main block ground the only other ground is a #10 to the body not suitable and will melt or at it worst back feed through other components while searching for ground. This is more important IMO when you add in dual batteries due to the available high amperage.

I use 3" of #4 wire with properly sized terminals from the battery to an existing captured nut on the frame below the battery.

Yes. We did the same thing on my 80 also. So I figured I needed that on the 100 even before I saw that post.

Bought a 1998 dealer brochure off eBay just for kicks. Finally got an explanation for the tacky wood grain:

Oh, and turned 281K miles...

Do you always run your snorkel scoop backwards?

I've been wondering about this. Lots of expedition guys run them backwards. I guess it prevents bugs and debris from building up?

Installed led interior lights all around. Replaced hood struts.

Those combined added 25hp and 30ftlbs torque.

Looks good! Chrome emblem on steering wheel? Never seen that before.

Helps keep branches from catching on the snorkel - they glide right over it.

Where did you find these?

 

[cmck]

Ditto, need some by Memorial Day just in case of early black flies!

Installed the ToughDog Tourflex Heavy Progressive rears and ToughDog Tbars.

The tbar removal was a &@!!#%. I suspect it was the 1st time they came out from the torsion arm since manufactured.

I have plans to add cargo drawers and a bit more weight on the rear.

The rear center to fender sits at 23 3/4" and the front is settled out so far at 22". It feels smooth and suspended exactly what I feel is needed.

Thanks! What do the emblems on the steering wheel normally look like?

Look at my post just after yours, with the brochure pic. The logo is simply molded in to the soft rubber of the airbag cover.

Mines an 03 - wonder if it changed over the years...
