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

^ I've never seen the SF on the 60 but I think the 100 is much more complex relative to replacing the bearing(s) and relative press parts that hold it all together. You need custom press tools, floor press, expensive parts, etc. And no rebuild is going to happen in the field.

However IMO the design of the 100 rear axle bearing system fits its intended market very though...extended maintenance interval for street/mild off-road use and no maintenance typically for a couple hundred thou or more.

But for some of us its a bit of a ticking time bomb...without a way to inspect it. And no way for most home garage types to R&R it.

They are basically the same design.

The 100 series just has a different axle diameter, spline count, bearings/seal size and drum/disc difference.

Other than that, the SF design hasn't changed much.

Good to know, thanks guys...I'm sure I'll dig into it sooner rather than later..

Finally got the Kenwood TM-D710A installed and talking to my Lowrance Baja 540C. Still have numerous features of this set-up to learn including packet texting, e-mail via Echolink, etc. But APRS is so nice to have now.

A big thank you to my good friend TrickyT for assisting with the NMEA 0183/serial stuff!

You happy with the Kenwood? Been thinking about the new 710G

Great feeling, isn't it?!

This morning, I started working on my rear facing led lights. I am adding another flood and a spot on the same ARB reversing light mounting point above the license plate bracket. I will leave one flood wired to the factory reverse light wiring. Then I will wire the other two to a 2 channel wireless controller that I picked up. The second channel will be used to switch another led flood, but this one will be mounted inside the swingout so that when the swingout is opened, you can switch the light on and it will light up the area around the tailgate. I picked up some stainless scraps at work and have what I need to make a mount for both locations. I will post up pics when done.

Pulled my sled out of a snow drift.

Flushed the AHC system and got my ride back.

Wired up license plate light and LED aux light for the new bumper.

 

[DJWUZJ]

Cleaned up wiring for rear hatch lights with a nifty, low profile waterproof push button switch.

Upgraded to 9011 and 9012 bulbs. Jury is out on this... Calling it a 15% improvement for now.

Finally finished the pass side !

 

[NWForester]

Just dropped the transmission pan and did a fluid flush. The truck consumed 16 quarts of Mobil 1 to complete the flush. The good news is that the 2000 a343 with 170k did not have anything in the bottom of the pan that was alarming. Next up is to address some of the old rubber bushings that make up the front suspension.

I installed some custom made extended front sway bar links to normalize the bar tension on my lifted 100.

It's nice to have the smoothness back in the front end with out the wound up feeling over bumps or while turning.

Please post a picture. I have the 80 series extended links in the rear and was wondering about the front.

I'll put together the info and post. I also have 80 extended rears.

I'm too lazy to duplicate here so check this link for pics. http://forum.tlcfaq.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=287

Thanks for that info. Your site is a wealth of info and thank you for that. Trying to learn more on our 100.
