What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (29 Viewers)

[cmck]

Made 1" thick aluminum pucks at work. I have machine shop access. Ordered bolts and material from McMaster-Carr. Any machine shop can make them for you. If you can't find one let me know, where you located?

How's your 100 Series Body Lift?

I know there are at least a couple of MUDders that have installed body lifts. Maybe more. It seems like when you get into the "true" 35" tires, like the Toyo OC MT (taller and wider than most), the best way to reduce rubbing might be via body lift. What size lift are you running...

Where'd you source the body lift? I'm on the fence with the idea of adding 1/2-1", and I kind of want to see what all is involved for the 100 series specifically. TIA

I had some lift access yesterday and did a 1/2 body lift. I made pucks out of 1/2 starboard hdpe. I replaced the 6” front 4 bolts with 7” and a few exra washers. We slotted 4 of the pucks, where we didn’t want to dig for the access to the top. Also we used side or downward leverage to keep the bolt down against the lock tabs.

CMCK, lucky guy you got lift access! Jealous haha

I finally got around to installing a new skin for my steering wheel!

3hrs of work, with the last hour in the dark with a flashlight.

 

[Alibaster]

Took off the running boards. Feels good man.

 

[TXSunDevil]

Wash/wax and interior. With two kids helping took 3 hours and still doesn't look perfect. The South Texas pin striping was overwhelming. I used mcguire's scratch cream for the bigger ones but then I realized I am heading right back out in a few months and not sure it is worth the effort.

I feel like it stole it, maybe 4 hours, including 3 stores to find those 7” bolts.

Looks like a new truck again!

I was able to wash two of the three cars today. The van will have to wait for another day.

What particular LED lights did you use, add/splice/ DIY type of stuff?

 

[Slashzero]

Added a Sirius/XM onyX Plus. Makes me appreciate the factory speakers even more! I have poor FM reception, so never really cranked up the volume, before. The subwoofer in these trucks actually thumps!

 

[Slashzero]

Repainting my rack, which seems to be an every 2-ish years job- still have a couple coats to go tomorrow (this is just one coat on one side)

... and I FINALLY replaced my hood struts. I’m not sure why I put it off for years- took all of 5 minutes to swap out and they were only $27 with free shipping on eBay lol.

LOL! The hood and lift gate struts were the first things I replaced on mine. Cheap eBay struts FTW!

Hey man!! New or used? Part number? I would really appreciate that!

That looks super clean! A few things:
1. Where'd you get the cup insert in front of the of the PWR/2nd buttons?
2. And also where'd you get the replacement plate thing?
3. Did you have to do anything other than pry of the old finish to get it to look so clean?

Again, looks great!

Nice! Though I always read your handle as 'cmyk', as in print ink builds. I, too, wish I had access to a lift.
