What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (36 Viewers)

[Sloth Cruiser]

Sure this a 1 job? What year is your cruiser?

98LC, up here in the rust belt. Granted it was previously from CO, but still. I'm not sure how it's any more than 1 , unless you need to count effort expended. With the right tools (flex head pass through ratchet helps a ton) it's 4 bolts and hammering out the the old bushings. Don't even need to jack it up if you don't want. Threaded rod, 2 nuts, 2 washers and the new bushings slide right in with minimal effort. The "difficult"part is hammering out the DS bushings. And besides some elbow grease there's not much to it. I used a brass drift and deadblow though the crossmember and it worked just fine.

Dokio solar? You like? How’s the controller? It’s windy here, I was thinking something sturdier.

New radiator and upper and lower hoses. Did the spark plugs, heater T's and fuel filter while I was in there. Got the T's just in time!

Any of the AHC Stuff still working? Would you let loose of any of it?

Yes! DOKIO 300W. Like it a lot. simple and useful, folds and can store anywhere. Controller is not the best but can't complain, it works!

Did you replace it with another one or go regular antenna? Pretty sure my blown alternator regulator burned out my antenna mast motor so I can’t raise it anymore

I just replaced the mast with another power mast. I like the functionality of it, that it fully retracts into the body of the truck when powered off.

Parts from faraway places, just in time for a bit of SAI work over the long weekend.

Where did you source it from?

 

[HburgEagle]

Replaced my serpentine belt and upgraded my USB charging situation.

Amazon product ASIN B08PTZ17NS

 

[Makoo]

Replaced coin batteries in both remote key fobs
CR1616 by Duracell

Put in a new big battery also as the old one was 4.5 yrs old and was showing its age ( weakening) and causing starting problems
Swapped in with a new Interstate MTP-27F and all problems are gone

replaced 1 headlight bulb ( Low beam headlight 9006 ) Standard Philips
(03 LC)

Finally finished replacing the exterior bulbs that I wanted to. Massive difference in visibility, especially with some of this rain we've been getting here.

As much as I dislike LEDs in a high/low/fog beam application in projector housings, I caved and got some for the strange little parking/running lights on the front and for the reverse lights. Front end now looks super cool at night and I now have the light of 10 suns when I'm backing up. Well worth the ~$25 on Amazon. The 168 LED bulbs were something like $9/10pack so I'll try and use some of the leftovers as courtesy lights in the doors.

Amazon product ASIN B071LHP5WPLooks like they've gone up in price a little- FYI they fit in the license plate sockets but do not fit in the light fixture itself as they are too long

these are what I used in the reverse lights-
Amazon product ASIN B07JLSRFWQ
Also look like they went up in price

Thank you. I got the wedge bulbs did all the map lights and courtesy lights. Just need to do the domes and the taillights. Do you like the reverse light output?

Replaced the front to rear brake line and last week the fuel lines from the rubber to the engine bay. Living in the north east is the best! The next project this summer is to needle the rust from last winter and POR15 or just pay someone to do it. I may pay because with four kids doing work on my cars is starting to become a real time loss in my life.

Replaced the gas cap, all three wiper blades (OEM), and finished up the rebuild of the headlight trim. Been running without the trim pieces for about a year, which partially self-destructed when I removed them to replace one headlight, and completely bit the dust when I had to repair the bumper cover.

I used chineseum replacements from ebay, paint from Automotive Touchup, and OEM screws and clips to reattach everything.

My paint job is definitely not professional, but fitting for a 19 year old truck. I'm happy enough with the results. Asked daughter #1 what she thought of the work, and got a "Dad, umm, I never noticed they were missing."

Note to self: label all the parts as soon as they arrive to associate them with a project. Had all this stuff for 9 months, took a while to figure out what was what, and reprint the exploded diagram from partsouq.
