What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (26 Viewers)

[SpottedDolphin]

Cheers, my 2DIN touchscreen Pioneer unit is about 2002 and due for an upgrade as the Bluetooth is redundant (only works for hands-free no music).

I really think the 7inch store brand bought ones are not large enough really these days for GPS etc or stuff you use them for. I'm really tempted to order one off Aliexpress, there are some really good looking units but I'm just not sold on the hardware. I'll keep looking though.

Tempted to build my own off the new raspberry pi 4b, but have not seen one touchscreen I like, all of them look offset or sit too far into the dash. Additionally, you need to buy other hardware to do simple things like plug the radio antenna in.

I was originally looking at the Sony and Alpine that are very similar, but I really wanted to be able to run any app on it. Only thing better would if I could have mounted an iPad on there.

Exactly what I fear and why I'm scared of buying brand name !

Was out hunting for black bear in the mountains. Was checking my GAIA map and hit a limb sticking into the road. Fortunately didn't do much damage but caught my Antenna and broke it, probably kept me from breaking my windshield. Anyway, replaced that today, wasn't too bad but for an antenna, to much work lol.

Painted roof and hood a year ago, but wanted to wait until posting to insure the paint would hold up and not peel. Used benjamin moore super spec industrial paint and 4" small nap roller. Wife likes it because it looks better than peeling paint. She asked about the uneven surface. I suggested it was like golf ball dimples, helps it go farther and straight. (She knows not to believe these explanations, but let the matter drop.)

Definitely transfers the truck into trail ready camp, vs going to the opera. Dang....

can you provide the amazon link? your previous post doesn't show it correctly? How was integration? Did you have to make any custom pigtails to connect it?

These are sweet! I just picked up some silver steelies on Craigslist to put on my sand dollar pearl LX too.

Yeah, I really like them! Especially for the cost and durability. Nice! Post up some pictures when you get them on.

Changed out the spark plugs. Not sure when it was done, so I went ahead and did them

 

[gold99xx]

2006 Lexus LX 470 102K miles, replaced the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt and tensioner, oil, transmission fluid, front brake job, rotors and pads replaced and repacked the bearings. I have a TPMS issue but I am NOT getting new ones as they seem to break every two years for a $500 repair, so I am electrical taping over the blinking light on the dash. I will get around to disabling the system, but as you can see I have been a bit busy w the truck.

I didn't do jack except drive it. Spent time removing rust and repainting my enclosed trailer.

Are you running Spacers?

Getting somethings done this week

Just installed Nitto 285/70/16 thanks to the thread on tire size here.

What a great difference this makes.

Since we got signed up for HIH X, we made the silly decision to take our newly acquired "old beater", instead of one of our already prepared DDs. In taking a spare vehicle, that was originally intended to remain a mostly stock run around the neighborhood vehicle, we've done some "very bad things", trying to get it ready for HIH, and the associated drive to/from the event.

AHC removed, Tough Dog and Trail Tailor kit installed (also side steps removed for TT sliders):

Yes, It still needs tires.

I know. I know.

Also installed a Trail Tailor Hidden Winch mount, with a cheap Chinese Smittybilt winch:

I know, it's not a US made Warn, it's made in China, and it will never work when needed.

( @TRAIL TAILOR Thanks for the great parts and quick shipping during the zombie apocalypse! )

More "very bad" stuff:

Chinese eBay/Amazon temporary headlights, until I can fix the condensation issue, and convert factory lights over to HID/LED:​

I'm hoping 2 Chinese headlights are better than one OE headlight, but maybe that's wishful thinking...​

By far my favorite looking 100

Fixed the broken snap-fit hook on door switch panel.

Thanks for the reply! I agree with you on point #2. Not having to finish the piece is a huge value-adder for me. With regard to #3, I think there's a design opportunity there to create a front bucket "face" and a rear backing plate, just like the M2V2. The actual headlight adjuster brackets...
