What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (44 Viewers)

[Sloth Cruiser]

Thanks to help of the stickied threads in the 100 series section, the OTRAMM videos and my FSM I finally finished tackling the 90 major maintenance at home. I've been picking away at it literally 15-20 minutes here and there the past 3 weeks. We finally had some decent weather here this past weekend and I was able to get about 12 hours straight in to complete it. Also replaced radiator (which gives you so much more space to work with in the engine bay), fan bracket, all idlers, water pump, t-stat, serpentine belt tensioner, alternator, heater tees, all rubber hoses, pcv valve/grommet, cam seals, crank seal, spark plugs, heater tees, and passenger side valve cover/ spark plug tube seals. Probably a few other things in there i'm forgetting. Overall pretty simple. I took my time, bagged and labelled all bolts/ nuts etc...

Also attempted to replace the fuel filter, but the new one just would not seal and kept leaking. Had to throw the old one back in. Going to need to return it my local dealer where I got it from and get a new one. Lame.

Yes! I have a crack in this same trim on either side. Any pointers?! Part #?

Replace Moulding, Quarter Window--the trim at the front of your rearmost window

1.5 banana job, takes probably 2 hours for the first side, and less for the second, although you'll kind of need to do both at once before your adhesive hardens. Here's the symptom: Tools needed: 14 mm socket for removing rear seatbelts, phillips head screwdriver, torx (T25?) for removing trim...

Wild! The finished product looks amazing! You should sell this!

Best stock/mod swing out option looks hella clean.

I know you 100 guys don't get out of this forum much , but there's a bunch of guys that have done this with 80s over the years. There's even a kit that's produced and sold by a Mud member:

80 Series Factory Bumper Swing Out DIY Kits

I'd bet that same kit could be adapted to work with the 100 without too much headache...

Wired up the ARB OBA single and front locker, and it all works! Tested prior to cutting into the dash, then when wiring for real, I only got lights in the buttons and the solenoid to release, turns out the harness/ clip you put together yourself and a spade end came loose. Left enough room for a rear switch when the time comes.

Where did you get those switches?

Where did you get those switches?

Those are the standard ARB switches that come with the locker and compressor.

installed a new double din head unit in place of the factory Nakamichi unit. Still using factory amp etc. works great, just waiting on trim piece to come it so its complete (thanks covid 19 for delaying shipping by 2 weeks). ordered tree straps, snatch blocks and a bigger winch hook to do upgrades and expand on recovery gear.

was it the rear wing deflector?

just so you know those are a gold mine and can go for 100-500 depending where you get them from...(original owner, reseller).

I managed to score one but there is always someone looking for one.

Chasing the Elusive 100 Series Rear Wind Deflector

So the search is on, I have seen expensive used rear wind deflectors asking price of $450-$600 and cannot swallow that for the protection they offer to dust. One was available at $225+ shipping but banking on a better deal to come out I skipped out to my regret. Instead of waiting around for a...

It is original in perfect condition. Thanks for the tip!

Where did you get those switches?

Yes, they do come with the kit. Sent the Front Locker (since that's the one I put in). They are a little wider than the knockout, so trimming was required. Used a wire clothes hanger to reach into the dash and pull the harness back through.

Like the garage setup. Rims seem to set that car off for some reason. Looks kinda mint.

Man, curious are those side view mirrors electric fold in ? or just turned in

 

[ramangain]

Wired this puppy in, no more BS adapters needed

 

[PIPO]

New wheels/tires, new hood struts and also replaced the starter.

I had to replace hood struts when I purchased mine. Both crapped it long before I bought it. Seems like a thing with cruisers

Oh it’s been a habit since the beginning of my driving days 20 years ago to fold my side mirrors, the lx has a button for the side mirror to fold in and out I just press that. Thanks for the kind words, just trying to keep my sanity with the stay at home orders and just do projects here and there.
