Were you at Brät Brot in Lakeview on Tuesday? I saw your cruiser in the lot and stopped to check it out. It was there when I got there and still there when I left…
What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (83 Viewers)

Copy that. Did you go with the 1000’s?
Yep, I was watching the France v. Belgium World Cup match. Do you work downtown?

I can't remember if I got weird ones since I had AHC when I installed them. Sorry.

I can't believe your telescope function works either!
It does not work on our '99 470.
My LSD works quite well! You might try tires first and see how yours does. I was pleased with the LSD running BFG ATs.
Very nice your AHC is healthy!

Is that off 600-1 or 600-2? We (Dixieland Cruisers - AL chapter) are doing a club ride through there Saturday morning if you want to join. We are meeting at the Huddle House off 280 @ 9:30am in Sylacauga.
I saw from an Alabama Overland post on Facebook that this was 600-1.
That’s on 600-1. Cool! I will see y’all there since I live in Sylacauga now!

Try laundry detergent. I love having a pressure washer at home, you might think about sinking $150 for this convenience. Once you have rinsed them, keep them extended out for the best drying...

Are you in AL as well? You should join us Saturday.
Yes, live in Madison, AL, but from B'ham area. I plan to make this trip soon as I was mapping it out this week, but this weekend will not work for me. I will keep my eyes peeled for the next time.
I’m in Sylacauga. I will definitely be there. 0930 at Waffle House on 280.

GOT HWM??????
I asked @yotasavg to come up to the shop for a HWM (hidden winch mount) build day as he is the closest "stock" 100 in the area I know of.... These mounts are becoming more and more popular and since I sold all of my bumper designs.... might as well make a new product.
The stock cover is re-installed using 100% of the stock bumper tabs. I had to add the two center tab brackets and will supply the hardware to attach these points as well as new 10.9 grade frame/HWM bolts with the kit.
He also asked if we could take a ride in my old Esme rig as its here for a custom front and misc R&D items for the 100. He was interested in what the Tough Dog and TourFlex system was all about. I'll let him express his opinions on this and the HWM and working with me.
It was a pleasure working with you today. You and Dewey are welcome anytime.
I'll let @yotasavg comment from here..

Sorry didnt see your post Colorado kid. The light is a nice white now. Can see much better vs stock yellow. Not overly bright for oncoming traffic.
Copied from your other thread:
Thanks for everything @reevesci, I had a great time up there (and Dewey, too).
First I just want to say it was really fun to watch Jason work. From laying under the truck with a note pad, to bolting up the first prototype you see pictured in short order, I was impressed. He continued to blow my mind by making use of all the original bumper tabs - really well thought out, and mounts like it's from Toyota. Obviously it pairs perfectly with a set of the TT recovery brackets. I'm working on painting everything today.
I wanted to mention that I was also able to pull this off the truck when I got home without help and with the bumper intact. Remove the two middle tabs (Jason supplied new hardware for those as there's no longer a nutsert for them) and it drops right out the bottom. Obviously with a winch in there you'd need help, or a floor jack I suppose.
About the license plate, not sure what I'll do yet, but I like the idea of drilling new holes in it. Keep it simple...
And to put another positive word out there for the Tough Dog / TourFlex system... Esme rides like a dream compared to my truck. I learned yesterday that I'm not sitting at stock height, and I've actually got a bit of lift despite thinking I was just correcting 20 years of sag. I definitely know I'll be in the market for Tough Dog suspension in the future.
This looks great and is exactly what many of us have been hoping to see for a long time, thank you!
I do have a question/suggestion for a different arrangement: Would it be possible, strength-wise, to have a similar plate with a front-facing hitch receiver? I ask because having a winch on a portable tray that can be mounted to either the front or rear of the vehicle could be helpful should one find themselves head-first into a ditch with no buddies around.
This is more of an unsexy farm arrangement but seems potentially more practical for solo trekkers.
