Dang Travis, I would of totally drove up and joined yea. Just been staring at my 200 all weekend, sad that I didn’t do anything.
 
@Taco2Cruiser next time I go I'll let you know in advance. I just did a day trip and was home by 7:00 pm - rolled out at 6:30AM. Next time I want to do a couple day trip and map out more trails.
 
Today was a good day in my garage.
Wash, claybar, paint touch ups, medium cut buff, swirl remover and then waxed. Even touched up my sliders. My arm crapped like never before. Thought Something was wrong but im not use to a DA polisher lol

Thank you. The paint match stick will work on yours too. Best Color!
 
Ordered and received the blue ridge overland 80-100 series attic. Love it. No more trampled hats and coats by my kids in the back seat! Great quality and super easy to hook up. I sat in the second row and had another few inches clearance between my cranium and the attic.

Love my attic too. It really is a great spot for jackets, hats, etc.

Someone asked me about the extra "folds" in the material (yours has the exact same "extra" as mine). Blue Ridge designs thoughtfully, and add that so you cram stuff in there when needed and the extra material wraps around stuff. BR is a USERS company, and it really shows in those little details.
 
This morning I replaced my blower motor and fixed the non- functioning ric-arm which has not been working since i dont know when. Thanks for those who did threads on that, very helpful.
The motor assembly pics and parts along with the break down.

Found some “extra plugs” not sure what they belong to or why they werent hooked up but i left them as is. The black plug in the forefront goes to the glove box so it had a home. Easy job just takes a bit of time. Motore is silent now. I think some of the weights came off and it was making noise because it was out of balance? Who knows.

Today I had the front wheel bearings, lower ball joints and all four rotors replaced. At 138,000 miles I had turned the rotors 2 twice and they needed to be replaced. I purchased 4 cryogenically frozen rotors from frozen rotors.com. They are big, shiny and ice cold!

The lower ball joints were shot. One you move with your thumb and the other was limp....made for a horrible ride and stopping experience, like death wobble bad. @bjowett hooked me up on those. Two shiny brand new 555's, also included was a complimentary sticker and magnetic drain plug - thank you Brian! Needless to say the ride, steering and stopping is on point.

Also had the front splash shield replaced while the hubs were pulled off. Something tore a hole in one of the shields. Other than that they weren't too beat up.

Lastly I took a pic of the hubs a bearings for prosperity, who doesn't want to see what these look like when they are removed and replaced.

Took the opportunity to replace the starter last week along with the alternator, fan clutch, fan clutch bracket as is was tweaked for some reason - fan clutch had been walked onto the bracket and didnt seem kosher, so thats gone. Replaced the idler pully, belts, thermostat, coolant flush and changed out the tranny fluid. So now my truck is without a doubt ready for a very long service life. Love this truck and i dont mind doing maintenance to keep it running top notch. Some may say dont fix what aint broke but those who use thier Vehicle to go out into beautiful rural places can appreciate not worrying about a wearable part ruining thier trip.
Cheers
