I'm starting to think I have a screw loose somewhere...not on the 100. Plenty of those.

are you reversing in this picture ? :D
 
I have a override for the circuit :). I'm in park.

They turn on automatically when I reverse, or I can turn them on via switch.

I figured as much .. cool :)
 
2000 - do you have more info on that antenna mount in the back? Looks pretty slick! Also, did you make a deal on that '06??

So far this week, I have purchased a full size spare tire, ordered a BIOR rear bumper, made an appointment at Slee for a 2.5" kit and just ordered some OPOR sliders! All for a vehicle I don't actually yet own. Fingers crossed!
 
Epoxied some magnets onto my broken center console lid (worked great) and washed a couple pounds of mud off the old girl.

That's a solution and a half... I kind of like that idea better than the plastic latches anyway... although I really wish the center console lids locked, or at least the bottom compartment.
 
Started to load the car for a long weekend away with the club.
 
A proper clean ;) with new coils to boot

Gave it its first proper clean after fitting the front and rear bars in the last few months (and stock non-AHC rear coils last Saturday so the AHC works properly again - is that this week, or last?)

Next: retrofit the cabin air filters (Thanks Beno) that Tojo Australia didn't think to include in any Aus Spec 100's (what were they thinking? Kimberleys bull dust is the finest this side of the black stump)

I changed the oil. After running Mobil synthetic 5w-20 for the last 20,000 miles. (2 changes). Put Mobil 1 5w-30 ,15,000 mile back in. Not really trying for 15,000 miles but if its the dead of winter with snow on the ground

I use Mobil 1 5w30 in my 100series and change oil/filter every 5000 miles.
 
Painted the trim pieces below the headlights. The primer was fading.

Ran the airline and wiring harness for the ARB air compressor with my dual battery cables on the firewall. The airline is in a protective tube the entire route.

Switched the primary battery terminals to military connectors to wire up the winch.

Attached the license plate frame my mom sent me months ago. It's a little cheesy.

Hopping on a SWA flight here in a bit to add to the fleet.

Smart, keeping everything hush hush until the trigger has been pulled. It amazes me how people post "good deals" on mud and expect others not to jump in on the same truck and purchase it..

I had this happen on a Mercedes site back in 2009. I was looking at buying a CLK63 AMG Black Series. Hard to find car at local dealer. Looked at it but could not drive because of snow conditions on the road. Set-up my drive for a couple of days later when the roads would be clear. Went on Mercedes site and discussed with members pro's and con's of the car, expressed that if it drove like they described I would buy it on Wednesday and then be a member of the Black Series club. On some of the posts members asked where I lived, if a local dealer etc.. Bottom line when I showed up Wednesday to test drive and buy the car it had been sold to a guy in NC over the phone. Guess what the guy was a member of the MB site and used the info to buy my car out from under me. Just an FYI for people asking questions, need to keep some info. Private!!
