A drive up to Cabrillo Monument in San Diego.
The 33” tires make a nice difference in rpms at highway and compliance over cracks and bumps with a larger footprint.

Was at Aluminess here in San Diego Monday. For rear bumper install. Deluxe box and two bike racks from 1up on top. Spare tire yet to be mounted.

up next is Ujoint 6”kit. Have to go weigh the rig front and rear bias. Going to take out the outdated and unsafe Advanced Four Wheel setup that was installed in 1995.

Chris at Ujoint has been very very helpful over the years. And finally determined my setup is unsafe. Im looking forward to the new ride quality. Keep ya all posted.

Got the rig weighed today.
About #4,000 on front axle and about #5200 on the back axle. Took about 8 minutes and cost $16.

sent the weight bias to Chris @ujoint for springs with the kit.

Rear AC and heat box removed. The rear operates off the engine. The coolant is plumbed into the Isotemp heat exchanger and the rear freon lines are off the valves under the drivers side frame rails. I had the shop turn the valves off and evacuate the rear AC lines. So extra storage space in a small space makes a BIG difference.

Excellent! My rear ac/heat is coming out shortly.. I blocked it off just as a test and I haven't used it in over a year. I need the space more than I need the extra AC and heat capacity.

Yea. I guess it can be easy depending on how the rear is hooked up to the front lines.

On the way to Diesel Tech in Hemet. The E4 OD overheated going up from San Diego. Notice the flat bed front wheels got about 1 foot off the ground.

Local junkyard had 2 Leader Ambulances. Pulled the scene flood lights and polished them up. Mine are not only yellow and cracked, but the seal on them is worn. These appeared to be in almost perfect condition. Just wet sanded and polished since I am ocd about the lights.

Score.

Autosol works great for polishing headlights… and even gauge cluster plastic. I’m sure it would help keep them looking like new also.
