What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (45 Viewers)

You would need a fuel pressure gauge with an end that will connect to your fuel rail, I"ve even left them attached, and ran the gauge so it rests on the lower part of the windshield, use duct tape, so when your driving you can see if the pressure is constant. see pic attached of gauge

Got it. That is doable. Will return with findings after i do this valve cover/grommet retrieval. Just waiting on spark plug tube seals to arrive and can reassemble.

Finished getting my front bumper modified to fit some Rigid pod lights tied to my high beams and fogs. Also threw a 12,000 lb winch in while they had the bumper off!

Finally got my maxtrax mounts figured out. Had hoped I’d be able to use yakima mighty mounts to connect the maxtrax pins to the stock crossbars, but I couldn’t get the maxtrax close enough to the outside rail to fit our yakima box up there too....

Made some brackets out of 1/8” x 2” aluminum bar that solved the issue.

Also had to switch sides because the maxtrax would foul the disassembly wheel on the top of the drivers side end of the crossbars....

The extra holes are to reduce weight and not a boneheaded mistake. Ok, actually a bonehead mistake....

Took my running boards off today, now the War Wagon looks like a proper 4x4. I also greased the zerks and changed the rear and center differential fluid. The front diff defeated me when I stripped the fill plug out. Doh!

Ok I can provide my first report. When brand new they are definitely a little louder and a little rougher riding than the Michelin LTX p-rated tires that I had on there. Not bad though really!

Would love to know how you like these tires. Been running the at2’s for faaaar to long!

Got hooked up with a sweet pair of 9" Hardkorr BZRX215's from GTFO in Long Beach. The wire harness was top notch (even though I had to butcher it since I run a SPOD). Will be putting these to the test over multiple nights in April bouncing around the 395....will review further then....

This was harder than I thought it would be..

Can anyone share their experience with stored fuel? I have a metal gas can with regular fuel that’s been sitting for 7 months and I’ve read it shouldn’t be stored for much more than 6 months. Is it still safe to use?

Yeah gas in general has a relatively short shelf life. I've heard the 6mon rule too; a year and it's basically unusable. It really depends on what ethanol level you get (if any), what seasonal blend, temp & humidity where you store it, etc... You can dilute the old gas with fresh, although it will still have lower combustibility. You can also add a gas stabilizer like you would when winterizing a vehicle or boat and that will help delay its natural deterioration.

Back to the point - dumping the small amount of fuel you have in your gas can into a 1/2+ tank of good gas will not cause any issues. Rotating the gas in your can every 6mon is a good routine to get into.

Might not be as potent, but should be fine. Had some gas sitting in one of our generators for over a year (through a few small heat waves) and it fired up all the same... Diesel I know has a longer shelf life.

If you reside on a high humidity area, that’s a bit long, but for arid and dry states that shouldn’t be a problem.

Looking at getting one. Have any more pics/ RU happy with it.

I had the same question, I have been looking at these at least the ones on the long range America website. Brand I was looking at was Kaymar for about $1000. We need a full review with more pictures and overall thoughts on the quality, fitment and any other issues you ran into. Much appreciated, looks really good.

Give me a week or so and I'll have a poorly produced install and review video up!

Just got her back from paint. Had the common rust problems around windshield and on the roof addressed to stop the cancer. Under the windshield was worse than I would of ever know if they didn’t take off the original windshield to repair the roof rust. Had the body shop take the stock roof rack off and toss it to prepare for my Dissent roof rack that I’m picking up this weekend. Also threw on a flow master as speedway muffler in Rowland Heights had a killer deal ($80 installed and out the door) I couldn’t say no to that even though I wanted a magnaflow.

Thanks, I would figure as much! I have the at2’s and think I’ll pull the trigger. Can’t go wrong with Tito!
