Another long weekend on the Alaskan, New rotors and got the drums turned. Had a vibe when I got in the brakes hard. Put in a brake controller and wired the van for trailer brakes and lights, it'll be good to be able to pull my trailer again. Also got the hole cut for the transfer case shifter and the front driveshaft back in, so I'm officially 4x4 again... I do believe I'm ready to Daily Drive it again.....Wooot Woooot...95734366_3928151340560855_5062179563237277696_o.jpg

Thanks sometimes I look at the mess I'm in and think "You bring it all on yourself" You could live without this stuff... LOL

I got the interior gutted yesterday, I needed to get an idea on what kind of mess I was in with the fiberglass cap. It has a lot of curves but there is wood strips in bedded in the fiberglass so that was nice to see... I don't think it should be to bad.. I also got my Iceco fridge, inverter and maxfan ordered...

Working on the van floor today, so nice to be making sawdust instead off all the mechanical crap I've been doing for months..

I am digging the VCR and CRT TV. Brings back fond memories of 1990s road trips in the big vans.

What are your plans for cabinetry (if any)? Those windows are pretty tall, so would make it interesting.
