What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (37 Viewers)

[harrydunn]

Moab "Weekend-landing" 2021. Our 5th year. It was Easter Jeep Safari Week so we tried some new trails--Moab was packed with Jeeps. Swasey Cabin Trail was a blue moderate. Tons of fun. Tough section at the end but the 100 did fine. Very cool driving under I-70 and then over it to head home, looking down. Long Canyon Trail was easy as usual. The Pucker Pass portion was washed out so I'd be curious to see what types of rigs were making it up that. The rest of the time we just hit 40-50 miles of country back roads which honeslty is our favorite part. Nobody around for miles and miles. I've got video driving under the I-70 Arch Bridges if you'd like it posted.

Swapped out the 230k heater tees and hoses, for new OEM hoses, OEM clips and @cruiseroutfit upgraded heater t’s. So happy to take something off and put something back on. Still have to finish a bunch of other stuff to get her on the road.

Just finished replacing the starter, vcg’s, and did a full timing case refresh (minus cam seals - they were nice and dry). Also the drive belt, along w new tensioner, fan bracket, and pulley.

Runs like a top!

Really like your front grill with the white letters. Did you make it or buy it?

Skydio 2 First time using it

Just wanted to show the Arb swing out Jk

 

[Whoareu2200]

Oil & filter change, new Bosch Icon wipers (which I LOVE so far), and new Trail Tailor rear LCA’s. Bought them uncoated so I sprayed them with VHT epoxy paint and I think they came out great! Hard to tell the difference between this and powdercoat. Hoping it holds up well. Also replaced the straight grease zerk on the Johnny Joint to a 45° to make it easier to get a grease gun in there (@OwnerCS idea). So far they feel great!

This is a 232,769 mile rear LCA bushing. Doesn’t look that bad at first glance but if you apply strain to the metal sleeve you can see the cracking and separation

How do you like the Tough dog set up?

How do you like the Tough dog set up?

Overall - it’s not terrible but it does have its faults. Currently discussing suspensions setups over pm with a couple other members. More specifically Dobinsons IMS/MRA vs Tough Dog. The problem I have is there’s no significant weight in the back of my truck (aside from recovery gear, a subwoofer box, and my interior rack) so the rear end can be very bouncy at time when unloaded regardless of what setting the rear shocks are on. Now loaded down with gear/trailer/boat it rides amazing, but I hate having to sacrifice ride quality when I get to my destination and unload the weight. I drove one of these guys trucks with the Dobinsons setup + rear bumper recently and it drove like a dream! The Dobinsons MRA rears have separate LSC, HSC, & rebound adjustment, as opposed to Tough Dog only having rebound.

TL;DR - if I were to do it again I’d go Dobinsons.

Picking it up tomorrow from the shop (Ravon Off-road Dubai). TJM front locker and compressor with CV reboot. Now to rest the wallet after the last two months. I think only thing not new under my LC is driveshafts and springs/bars.

Swasey’s Cabin Trail and Doug’s Point videos. Moab.

Playing around with front shocks. Removing the OME 60000’s with OEM for some R&D since they’re so cheap. Will sell the OEMs on here and give someone a good deal after my research is done. Even though I have a front bumper and full skid plates I’ve heard that you can find a sweet spot with the OEM shocks on a set up. I also have SPC UCA’s and Slee Diff Drop. Curiosity got the best of me and I like to tinker.

Finally threw on the winch I bought last year and finished the bumper

I have OME springs and Tough Dog shocks. I run around pretty empty most of the time, and on road with 7 clicks it’s pretty firm - never bouncy. I usually run at 2 when off pavement to get the best ride. What springs are you running?

 

[saucebox]

Lost a few hundred pounds of rear bumper hardware and Slee skids—slowly moving towards it being ready for the SAS.

Then I thought...wth? and tried 2WD. I'm pretty sure I just sold myself the part time kit.

I finished off my dual battery set up. Installed this smart switch which disconnects the two once the starter battery drops below 12.8 volts. Built a bracket.

Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I immediately order it.

np! He’s a great dude w some cool stuff coming out of Bend, OR

What springs are you running?

I have the IronMan TOY025C, which to be fair are constant load springs and do like weight. The rebound control on the TD rears is nice but I would also like to be able to control compression.

Finally upgraded my bluetooth situation. So much better!

Amazon product ASIN B00M0T2N7M

Mounted the control box in the glove box for access in case I ever need to reprogram.
