What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (46 Viewers)

[NLXTACY]

New member of the Wits’ End family has been acquired. Sent my little brother and son on a plane to LA to grab this 2006 hundy.

It’s a total cream puff lovingly xared for by the jolly green giant Brian.

Kids have a 12hr drive back to Southern Oregon so I can start my shenanigans.

I put in my reef drawers. I’m impressed how well everything went together.

I don't even know what a reef drawer is but I am going to look it up . Those look quality. Are those mounted in any way?

Is this a replacement or supplement for the 1999 TLC shop truck?

Reef2 - The Reef Evolved

New in 2022, the Reef evolved to provide even more usable space inside, new more flexible anchoring bars, and use less material to save weight and cost.

They come with ratchet straps for mounting. Although I may do something different in the front. I plan to carpet the top and stain the front.

Currently supplement. Eventually I’ll offload the 99

I’ll be curious to hear your impressions after playing with the two side by side.

I love my 06 LX “cream puff” as a DD, but there’s something about my 99 LX that’s been “rode hard and put up wet” that’s appealing too. The 99 LX seems to be a happy medium between my old 94 TLC, and my current 06 LX.

Well now that I have a freshened 60, LX450 SC, LX450 turbo, 99 LC, and now 06 LC I’ll have plenty of variables to see which I like more.

Today I replaced the speaker cloth… definitely not a fan of the color, I think I was way off when I ordered it. Luckily I found an easy way to get them out that doesn’t require taking the entire door card apart so I may paint or change it up later.

Any quick tips on how to pop that cover without removing the door

 

[213374U]

Gobi rack finally showed up 352 days after order. This old girl is done, vision realized. Just little things from here on out and my bank account is going to appreciate it.

Are those the tilt up 15* or the straight out WKOR sliders? I've got some on order and went with the 15* tilt.

Truck looks great.

 

[213374U]

15* tilt on those, very subtle

Thanks

Can you tell me about that ladder? How solid is that? Thanks!! Rig looks great!

 

[213374U]

Ladder is from Gobi as well and is VERY stout. I'm not the heaviest guy at 190lbs but I have no doubt it could take much more. I saw a video where a guy had an issue with the lower mounting plate that required modification but I didn't run into the same problem, everything bolted right up as it should.

Added @alphaequipt commands and some new KO2s. Pretty happy with how they turned out.

 

[TheRealPoser]

Knuckle cleanup and overhaul, new bearings and races, new UCAs, new LBJs, sway bar bushings, front diff bushings, diff drop, new torsion bars and shocks... Hopefully it will be drivable by next spring and I won't be bankrupt

What size tires did you go with? That will be my next upgrade after my refurb and suspension work is done. BTW, I have KO2s on my 4Runner and they have performed and held up very well. I don't think you can go wrong with them.

Any quick tips on how to pop that cover without removing the door

See diagram below. This is for the front driver and passenger. All circles marked in red need to have the fasteners removed.

Next you can peel apart the bottom part of the door as shown in the picture below. Then use a short Phillips screw driver to remove the speaker covers.

The rear door driver and passenger are even easier as you don’t have the 2 screws at the top.

Each corner took me about 5 minutes to remove… which is great because the more I look at the color of the fabric the more I despise it and will be changing out asap.

I recommend using “hook” side of Velcro to adhere the fabric to the back side.

Love the picts! I do want to point out the spring clip at the under the front leading edge (on the pointy side pointing to the front of the car) in that window roll-down button panel is a bit of a pain. Use something flat to push it back and lift the panel up and out of the door panel. I broke one once, although I found a new spring clip to buy (Part #: 90468-05114).
