It's been a crazy couple weeks. I spent all my free time crossing off boxes in a check-list to get ready for a big multi-week trip this summer. Before the trip I changed ALL fluids, tie/track rods, alignment, bled brakes, replaced cracking hoses, etc. Not to mention completing my on-board-air setup, roof rack w/ solar shower, and a bunch more odds 'n ends. Here she is the day before the trip started.

Then the day before the trip I bought my girlfriend a 40th.

We spent two weeks exploring the Big Horns, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Wind River, and a bunch more. Basically drove 2,500 miles through Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. Beautiful country.

This is strange because I installed witsend new power steering cooler setup and while I was at replaced my pump with oem Donnie I have a totally new PS setup oem gear box pump sector shaft etc and I was dreading the bleeding because I’ve done it before and it always sucks this time filled it bleed it once and it’s perfect best it’s ever been don’t know if the paper clip was restricting or whatever but it’s the best the steering ever sounded zero whine at all with 37s

That’s rad congrats
 
This weekend and this week I put in new OME shocks and springs. Still need to do the tierod ends, steering stabilizer and caster bushings.
 
So understanding that the OEM solution was crazy simple and JUST a short length length of some 3/8” oil hose, I decided to way over complicate it by switching all of the trans cooler lines over to AN-6 fittings and Continental hose. I am loving how it’s all turning out and changing hoses is now going to be incredibly easy...in 15 years when it’s time to change then again 😜

Are you going to safety wire all those extra AN connections so they dont vibrate loose and leak oil everywhere?
The OEM solution is more ore less fool proof...
 
Thanks @RockAuto for the great deal on on new Powerstop rotors and pads. Hopefully installing this weekend.
