Awning coming in clutch working on an alternator replacement. Dumb 3.5 Honda engine with the leaky spool valve right onto the alternator.

I see a lot of those. Hopefully you replaced the valve....Not too pricey.
thanks yes we're doing that next week saw it right away as the leak was pretty bad.

I think you can get it aftermarket, Dorman makes it, I think. Just over $100.
 
Heater hose lines were looking pretty questionable in some spots and saw a drip underneath on a stretch of rear heater line**, so replaced a bunch of rubber over the past couple days. Tried out Terrain Tamer's heater & radiator hose kit supposedly for the HJ61 w/ manual trans and rear heater. It was pretty good -- nothing I did not use except for one piece where I think they tried to cut a corner by just giving you two of the same thing (one was not quite right), but for the heater sections I had to bust out some additional 5/8 and 1/2 hose to finish everything off. Shaped a few pieces by running a piece of smaller steel braided fuel hose through the 5/8 hose + heat gun then ice bath -- worked well enough to fix some spots that were gonna kink.

** didn't look like a rusty / cracked pipe leak and it turns out whoever had worked on this last used 1/8" too big of hose in this stretch.
 
Fam went to bed early tonight so I dug into some past due maintenance. New inner and outer tie rods and rear pads on the 100. Couple other small things while in there. Also found that my recently (2k miles ago) installed lbj was torn :(
Next up will be installing the brake controller and 7 pin
 
Best way to get hardware. Pick a part let me take a bunch for free each time I went
 
New radiator and oil change right before my trip to Western PA.

Oh funny, You know I am still cleaning out mud from that West VA trip 😂😲🤣

Is it a straight grill swap or are other parts and pieces needed?
