Alright, as of now all my pre-trip wrenching is finally done! The tally was rebuilt front end, rad flush, new fan clutch, tranny filter change/flush, alignment, front/rear diff oil change and 33" tires.

Long road, but I feel MUCH more comfortable driving it out of town now. Will be wheeling 2 more times after this trip and before I ship out to Japan, so nothing is wasted. Plus, I know the truck will be solid when I get back.

Also installed IPOD controlling Premier stereo and Cobra CB. Have 5.25" Boston speakers to install post-trip.

Will pack stuff into the truck tomorrow before Son finishes school, meet up with Justice in the afternoon and be on our way!

See you tomorrow, all! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
