What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (86 Viewers)

The seat covers on the front and rear with some options like the sport pockets on the back and the pockets on the front of the front seats ran about $619 after shipping. They are light gray/black. It is a DIY project with no special tools. They attach with straps with buckles. The front seat bottoms were a pain. It's probably easier to attach with the seats removed from the 100 but I decided to do it without doing that. I have had the Wet Okoles on almost all my vehicles since my first car which was a Jeep CJ-7 back in 1990 when the company was called Wet Seats. They have very thick foam padding and are very comfortable.

The order specs are pretty self explanatory. You just go to their website and put in the model and year and the seat configuration. I also added some photos just to be sure. Merry Christmas!!

It all looks great! I am especially enthused by your headlights. How tough was the projector conversion? I see clips, but I assume you still need to bake the headlights to split them. Is that true?
Great job.
Thanks,
Dave

Yes 275 for 7 minutes. It's not impossible, but is messy if you aren't careful.

It's easy, used a sanding bit on my Dremel and enlarged the holes for the bulbs enough to fit the projector, screwed it in and that's pretty much it.

Wait, so to confirm the original leather seats are still there?

That looks great if so, and not having to pull out seats and rip out the leather is nice.
 
I don't know exactly. 200k on the clock, rough and bouncy. Flushed fluid but that didn't fix it and decided to replace with conventional.

So how did you attach it to the tree trunk? I am sure I can figure it out but it would be good to see if you took additional closeup shots of this for future reference.

Sorry--should have taken more pics. I used my ax to cut a shallow but steep-sided notch in the trunk on 2 sides, then wrapped the recovery strap so that as I pulled, it tightened into the notch. I was able to pull the 25 foot trunk in line with the truck without an issue. I'm sure there could be a more "pro" way to do it, but it worked.

Only bad thing was the strap got dragged under the tree on the road and is a bit frayed now. It wasn't anything super nice--need recommendations for a real strap to replace it now.

When you are going to pull trees or similar objects where the strap might slide, it would be advisable to wrap the strap several revolutions around before routing it through the loop on the end, to allow the strap to grip it properly. And to save some money, you should use rope for such jobs.
 
Yesterday I took the kids out to Cabela’s (like a Bass Pro Shop plus some). I came across this well built 100 series in the timeless copper color - got to meet the owner (very cool guy) !

*Can’t find his screen name so if this is your rig shoot me a pm. Congrats & Good Luck with the upcoming baby!
 
Installed my ARB bumper and a $220 Smittybilt Christmas Special winch. Quick question, can I just cut the tab of the blinker wires and connect them to the ARB turn signals? Or do I have to do something with a dual filament?
