How is everyone doing? (2 Viewers)

It was a pleasure, especially the first part!

Always fun to get a few test laps in...

We are all doing well enough, Daughter is camping on Mayne island with her Scout troop this weekend, I’m pretty jealous.

My weekend project is getting airbags on the new AT4 before I need to tow the travel trailer this summer.

Thought the rear calipers were of interest to this group…integrated electric parking brake, just run some wring and there you go. I might have tried these if I hadn’t already committed to the GX460 rear brakes.

That’s interesting - something that acts on the disc brake pad(s) instead of a separate set of shoes. Less parts, so that’s good.
GMC Terrain AT4?
Probably too late now to ask how thick the rotors are. I see it’s a 6 lug, doubtful the pattern is anything close to an FJ60.(?)

Sitting on patio of FIA's place outside of Steamboat looking at gorgeous panoramic view. Not quite the farm in Oklahoma but it's pretty nice. House going up for sale next month so we had to get the last load of our stuff we kept here out of here. Loaded up crusty pig and moved to some outdoor storage not before little excitement starting it when the carb decided to catch fire while @swamp-thing and I were using some starter fluid. Ended up just pushing on borrowed trailer and will come back up in a month or so and grab it.

These quick trips up and back are taking their toll for sure but the wife and I did bring my daughter home from college and it sure was fun to have the three of us back in car on a road trip, wish the boy could have come along.

Have to get back asap to hopefully attend @Delancy's funeral and pay my respects, although a date and time has not been set.

Damn straight it ain't Oklahoma, Jon...in a good way! Though I understand the emotional pull (that's what brought me back to Grand Junction) and envy your shop and your house building plans. My own journey on the corporate ladder stalled out on one of the middle rungs after refusing transfers from Denver to bigger and supposedly better things in locales as diverse as San Francisco, Washington DC and New York. My response was always "I'd be working 50 weeks a year to spend two weeks in Colorado. Now I'm here year round. Why would I do that?" Ended up bringing the job with me to get back home and then buying a job to stay.
Hope your trips back and forth are winding down, the Steamboat house sells quickly for top dollar and your adventures continue to go well in OK. And that maybe you'll visit here sometime in this century (or at least before I'm looking at the grass from underneath) to pick up your shiny redone Pig.

Jim I’m hoping I get to pick up my long lost pig end of summer but I’ve been told dates before…

It’s all good, Mike doing his thing and we’re just getting settled in life so a trip that way again will be refreshing especially with a restored Pig behind us!

Sierra 1500 AT4 yup, got the airbags done today after re-welding the mounts to get the travel correct. (The IHC kit is for a lowered truck)

Calipers are a long way from the middle of the axle, really doubt 15” would fit with these rotors

In Denmark and Sweden next couple weeks and today I spent some time with dead Vikings.

Stole the image from Wikipedia commons because my camera sucks

Also walked to the Skaggerak along some volcanic formations.

Daughter is about to have her liscence so cleaning the old minivan up for another round of service…her brother didn’t kill it so we will see how she does!

I‘m helping but making sure she has a hand in all the repairs. Costing me some money this time, when her brother needed it the van was not so crusty, now it’s been sitting and needs all new front brakes.

Went swimming in the Baltic Sea yesterday and today.

I must say, you've maintained your figure for an old guy.

Not like her brother was, she actually kinda dreads it, but we live in the sticks so she understands she needs mobility

It’s so different these days for kids, so many other interests to chase, but they both are willing to learn and understand the benefit of having some skills.
I am lucky because a lot of teenagers could care less.

 

[Pigeaten]

Obviously she won’t drive unless she learns a bit, that comes from the top, well done!
