What have you done to your 100 Series this week? (51 Viewers)

[nigelsiam]

I just got the Yukon 4:88 and 35” tires. Gears made fun to drive again. I also did rear lockers while they were in there


I use the remote start on my phone app every time I drive it. It came with a key fob also but don’t use it

What type/manufacturer locker did you get?

I think the rear hatch struts are starting to die. I see on Amazon and RockAuto there are a number of aftermarket brands available.

Any recommended brands (beside OE Mr. T) ?

Thanks!

I got these and they were so strong I could barely get them mounted. They are truly "open half-way and let them finish the job"

I got the Eaton e locker with oem switch

Admittedly my only reason for the 35’s are to raise the truck up a bit for aesthetics. The AT falken wildpeak 33’s have been great. Any regrets on the 35’s?

Not at all. I love the way it sits and looks now. Got the 35x10.50 skinnies though

BIG LIGHTS!

9" King 'Lethal' LED spots.
Man, I can see the road again!

Main beam (take notice of the street light centre top of the picture. Watch how much the camera stops down with each succession of the photos)

High beam (no spots)

Now the spotlights!

Finally got around to cutting up the rear-most dissent skid plate to accommodate the long range tank, we'll see if the ~1/2" of clearance is sufficient or more is needed:

Starting to think about the interior build-out. Riveted in some velcro panels for seat-back and rear storage:

Do you have to leave a key in the truck somewhere for the security system or does it bypass that somehow?

Which "ramp washers" did you get for your skid plates?

 

[JAntosch]

These or maybe the -F option : AA-522-E Countersunk Body Washer, for 1/4" Flat Head Screw, 1" OD - A&A Manufacturing - https://aa-mfg.com/product/aa-522-e-countersunk-for-1-4-flat-head-screw-1-od/

Something similar came with the plates, lost a few along the way.

Changed out all the exterior bulbs before going on a road trip.

Also my gf got the LC a Christmas present, A "Land Meter" Inclinometer....Mounted it to my Rubi-Grid

Just bought a set thanks for the heads up. Mine just went out on our trip.

Thanks, after going down the rabbit hole on 33’s vs 35’s the jury seemed split.

Everything works the same. Just get to use my phone for start up

You have to get the right offset wheels and 1” body lift so you don’t rub

 

[Natesfj40]

You have to get the right offset wheels and 1” body lift so you don’t rub

Makes sense. I already have:

• Front diff drop
• 1.5” wheel spacers
• stock lc 100 wheels
• 2” new spring lift in rear
• Japan 4x4 Shock extensions new oem shocks
• Cranked tbars with just enough sag
• Feeedom off road uca’s
• Extended abs sensor wires

Yeah, thanks for the heads up, I might need to move to 1” wheel spacers however depending on the tire, what I have could work?

Diff gears, Body lift, extending diff breathers, surgical trim on plastics and pinch welds, sounds like all that’s left. I want to replace tbars since they need slight reindex as-is and have 250k on them.

I have stock bumpers was leaning towards new oem tbars hoping they keep the plush ride.
Any thoughts?

315/75/16's?
AHC?

 

[DuKeCoMmAnDeR]

315/75/16's?
AHC?

I did AHC delete. The 315/75/16 are a little shorter than 35” so you would have a little extra room. I think 34.6”. The 1.5” spacers put you right where you need to be from what I’ve read. With factory wheels puts you at +25 offset. I think +25 to +35. I have the spc front arms which I had to adjust a little to not rub. I haven’t had to do any pinch welding or trimming yet. Instead of diff gears you can do transfer case gears your self, a lot cheaper. Some people don’t do any gears with 35”. If you do body lift make sure you get one with fan shroud drop bracket. Some people were saying they had to get steering shaft extension too. I didn’t have that problem

1.5" = 38mm. Stock offset is +60 so that makes your effective offset +22. 3/4" spacers will give you an effective offset of +41 and make fitment easier.

Also my gf got the LC a Christmas present, A "Land Meter" Inclinometer....Mounted it to my Rubi-Grid View attachment 3799463

Can you give me some info on the "Rubi-grid" mount...I take it that it's from Bulletpoint, but which one did you use, and how was the mounting done? Thanks!
