Nice screen name! I have multiples of each. What is all the stuff you pulled of the cruiser?

Yeah, I have a 1911 and M1 Garand problem too (so does my son).
Rear heater delete / plug and removed the RS3000 security system mess (i dont have any key fobs and LOVE removing un-needed things).

My weekend starts on Thursday so took the cruiser up to 10,500 feet in the Mt. Evans wilderness for a couple nights of camping. Some fun mild wheeling and views from the back. We decided to set it up to sleep in so our sites are more flexible.
Going back in tomorrow
Finished putting on the tie rod ends. Replaced the heater control valve and two hoses that attach to it, preventing further leaking there. I highly recommend people replace that heather control valve if it's the original. Mine was and was so corroded the right side inlet fell off when I released the clamp. The replacement is pretty simple.
Well I start school next Monday and will beginning my medical lab science program and I have been really stressing out about it, so.... I figured I better enjoy my last summer weekend before school. Started the day checking out the festival of flavors at brianhead and had a few beers. Then I headed east to the grand staircase national monument and hiked the lower calf creek falls trail. Now I am sitting at the pub in Escalante enjoying some more beer before I go find a camp spot for the night. Tomorrow I will be checking out the hell's backbone rd and hiking upper calf creek falls. Here are some pictures from today.

Cool beans... drink another for me... enjoy!
Beautiful! I can’t wait to see pics from today. Enjoy!
We did a family trailer type camp in San Simion State Park & did a scenic coastal highway 1 run up to Big Sur. My family has never been up that way, it was a beautiful drive. We did evening walks, campfires & smores all that great family stuff...
But rather be on a remote trail somewhere in the woods.

Also paid $6 bucks a gal in Big Sur.

When the engine starts. Get a water leak from this point ??!!
You can flush with tap water, just do the final fill with distilled.

Took me two long days to prep it but the Cruiser is now ready for a good road trip. I got the ARB bar for a good deal so tossed it on. I am taking off today to camp out of the Cruiser all next week.

Sounds fun! Let's try and get together when you get back!
Got out in the woods for a bit with the family and the dogs. Rolled over 340,000 miles on my ‘95. Installed the ScanGauge II.
Are they stock flares?
Where did you get the new gaskets
Mine are falling apart
Those are weep holes, and when they leak, it means it's time to replace your water pump. Cruiser Outfitters www.cruiseroutfitters.com @cruiseroutfit will have what you need at great prices...

Got my Power Stop brakes (thanks @RockAuto ) and OME 3 1/2" (heavy) lift installed. Without armor or loading - definitely "stinkbug" . It seems like a lot more lift - I will measure and edit my post with actual changes. Still have a steering compensation issue. Is this the correct steering stabilizer? Shop seemed to think it was too short. But, as cool as it feels, the steering is still sloppy.
EDIT: Actual changes from factory original: FRONT: +3.5"; REAR: +4.75"
BTW - I feel like I am jumping off a cliff when I get out

Sloppy steering is from lack of enough caster correction not the steering stablizer
I finished up my weekend adventure...
