The last two weeks have seen me complete the list of items that I felt needed to be done before we depart for sunnier climes to the South:-

1. Engine oil and filter change.
2. Rear differential oil change together with new axle seals, pinion bearings and pinion oil seal.
3. Front differential oil change.
4. Transmission oil and filter change with band tightening.

6. New disk pads and brake shoes.
7. New adjustable track arm and bushings.

9. SSI 3 turn Steering Box fitted.
10. New Power Steering pump fitted.
11. New front Ball Joints and Wheel Bearings fitted.
12. Amber Turn Signal Lamps fitted to rear bumper.
13. 600 litres of Waste Canola Oil filtered & de-watered.  390 litres in the tank, the rest in disposable cubies.

This picture was taken in Idaho after fitting the new front bumper.  While in Arizona I took advantage of the warm weather and gave the old gal a good waxing.

Today I fitted a pair of Bushwacker D225 progressive rate front springs which improved the ride tremendously.  Tomorrow I will be fitting heated, power adjustable towing mirrors.
