Great rack, how did you run the wires for the light and what light is it?
Thanks. I tucked my wires behind the trim that runs up the exterior sides of the windshield. The light is just a 40in single row light bar from Amazon.

Looking good, man!! Deets on those amber lights, I like that look!
Road trip:
San Francisco - Alpine Meadows (1 pow day) - June Mountain (1 pow day) - Mammoth (1 blizzard day, 2 pow days) - Bishop - Big Pine - Gold Point - Las Vegas - San Francisco
Whats a pow day?
Pow day= Powder day. A day of skiing in fresh snow.
Now I know what to do with my extra - and no longer valid - white HOV Access sticker!Got around installing the TJM skid. Fitment was 100% perfect. Perfect replacement for the OEM plastic.
Also trim the rear mud guards.

Other than the obvious "no-go" condition, did the starter offer any warning signs related to the funky gear?I got to see firsthand just how badly I need to clean stuff up under my hood...while replacing a starterin a parking lot as snow was starting to come down. Classic Colorado move.
I'd say it was a little overdue though...
Why remove the mudflaps? They're integral with the rear panel and keep crud from gunking-up that portion of the body.Hey all, just "picked up" my 100 Series - it's a 1998, and as my username suggests, it's a hand me down from a family member who got too old to drive it. To age myself a bit, I was driving this thing through the mountains of Pennsylvania when I was 17 - my Aunt picked it up in 2002 with 60k miles (2nd owner), and when she'd visit from D.C. for the holidays, I'd sneak it out to rummage through snow and dirt as often as I was able.
Fast forward from 2002 to now, and it's mine! 3rd owner and just about to hit 251,000 miles. I've had it for 2 weeks, and washed it about 8 times already to a ton of grime off the entire rig, as it sat for months and months under a tree in front of her house. My first few bits of cleaning it up were "installing" the 3rd row seats that had been sitting in her attic for 17 years, then replaced the front fog light housing that fell out somehow. I PDR'd a few dents from the body as best I was able, and removed the running boards this past Sunday. The only aftermarket mod I currently have waiting to be installed are some rear mud flap deletes - they should go on tomorrow.
Otherwise, I doubt this bad boy will see much off-road time, as I've got an 8-month old, and another one on the way (oh, and a wife who likes to spend time with me) and live in the middle of Dallas. However, I'd really like to do a 1.5" to 2.5" lift (still debating height, brand, and setup), add some TRD Rock Warriors with 33's, and maybe an ARB front bumper and roof rack of some kind. Beyond that, I'll likely re-work and paint the rear bumper, and paint the fading plastic side trim on the doors. Not sure it'll make it much farther than that modification-wise after I'm done working through all of the regular and preventative maintenance items.
Should I black out the gold emblem on the grill and/or the entire grille + the gold rear badging? I'm torn...
At any rate, I've been lurking for a while here, so it's good to finally join, and I've got to say I'm glad to finally be a member of the community. I'm looking forward to learning a ton, and meeting some great folks along the way.
Cheers,
Josh

Did all the upper and lower mounting/brackets/bolts points line up?Swapped the busted bumper on my 99 for a much better bumper off a 2004 from another mud member. Looks much better!
