Yes, another new 100 series owner...

[FJBen]

But not a newb

Just picked up a used 01 100 series...pretty gucci compared to my 67 40

DVD nav, all that stuff...It has 4 DVD screens in the backs of the head rests and a seperate rear DVD player and wireless headphones. The kids can watch DVD's on the 4 screens and listen either on the full car stereo or the wireless headphones.

On the DVD Nav screen I can either watch what they are watching, or put in a different DVD in the console player and watch that (yes I know about liabilities of watching a DVD in the front of a moving vehicle ) Pretty neat setup. It's going to get detailed today, as it's a little dirty inside.

Sweet! And welcome!

Oh wait, you're not a newb. Anyway!

Don't forget to remove your hood spoiler...

 

[e9999]

welcome!

that has to be close to the ultimate videomobile...

 

[KathmanduCruiser]

Welcome, FJBen.

Is there any practical function of the hood spoiler? Is it to keep bugs off or just something that has no practical use at all?

 

[TXLX470]

yes it does keep bugs away at while cruising...atleast most of them

Also deflects rocks / debris that would otherwise hit the front of the hood.

Slick DVD setup. What brand / size monitors are in the head rests?

 

[calamaridog]

U need some spinnaz fo shizzle

 

[BMWSTOY]

mine is gawking at yours with that video set up. I need to remember not to pull up this tread when my kids are around.

Always wondered why some bash those deflectors so much - with all the rocks on the colorado roadways it prevents all those nicks in the front and helps with the bug washing. Anyone have one that wants to dump it - I will pay the shipping.

If you have not driven mid to late summer in Minnesota, you have no idea how many bugs your windshield catches in just a few hours of driving. There are times when so many bugs hit the windshield at the same time that it feels it is raining (only happens for a second or two, but it is crazy when it does). Maybe it is not too surprising when the mosquito is your state bird .

Plus the rocks like you guys mention.

It actually does have value here then...

Congrats Newb!!!

Now don't go claiming the last Rear bumper for a 100 that Christo has out there. Thats on my list.



Maybe I should hurry before you decide to snatch it up, huh?

Congrats again, you'll be a very happy camper!

I'd rather wipe a ton of bugs off the windshield every half an hour than have such a... thing attached to my Cruiser.

Nice screen setup, OTOH.

 

[FJBen]

lol, yeah it's pretty bling...my kids are really loving this...It's quite the trick setup actually. The DVD player in the back is a Panasonic unit. The front is the Toyota JBL setup. The screen size I believe is 6" and panasonic...will have to check on that. I can tell you that they aren't as nice/crisp as our Alpine setup, but that was also newer technology. The kids haven't complained ;p

This is the ride...I drive a 40....topless everyday So you all are a bunch of But for trips and full family hauling...I'm going to love this!

Not evan a pink one?

 

[slider35]

Nice setup.

At first look I thought that it was a photoshop job on the headrests until I looked closer and saw the stitching.

Definitely makes you the popular dad with all the kids - I don't have any, but I seem to always drive when the coworkers want to go out for lunch...

 

[NMuzj100]

Welcome to the board!


I wouldn't remove the hood spoiler on the truck. I have rust in the rock chips right at the spot where spoiler covers. The only rust on the whole truck.

 

[justimaginejack]

congratulations!!!
How many miles ad how much if you don't mind?

Welcome fellow Colorado member

You guys are cracking me up with the hood deflector/ornament discussion!! My '93 80 never had one, my '99 100 had one and I hated it because I could never get the soap out from under it SO...........I had the dealer remove the bug shield from my '05 100 when I bought it two years ago. Hence, I have rock chips on the ***ing hood. OK, so I ordered one a couple weeks ago, (currently installed), and they inadvertently sent me two bug shields. Guess what? They don't want the extra one back. If you will send me a shipping label and have a carrier pick up the package, a brand new bug shield is YOURS!!!

Also, I removed the running boards from my 100 and would like to find a home for them. I'll post pictures on a new thread.

 

[justimaginejack]

Give me the address and I will send it out today, or can I have fed-ex pick it up?
I'm nor huge on the looks, but in southern Missouri farm country, those things make a world of difference.
PM me

Lift that bitch and take the running boards off......
