- ericsmith32ExplorerIt came back home.. all polished, 1 new carrier bearing and u-joint. It's cleaner than it left! This is the type of person you lend stuff to. Need to plan a trip. Haven't been anywhere since the first of August the boys want to go somewhere. Should of seen their faces when it pulled up the road.

Got it on sale for $69 a few months back, and finally had a chore-free day to do the exterior camera install.
The kit is made to go on a licence plate holder and be wired into the backup light, but I chose to mount it high and splice into the clearance light circuit so that it's always on when the lights are on (which they always are with me even in daytime).
My Winnebago had a pre-placed wiring hole in the rear top cap, so it was a fairly simple installation. After pulling out the plug and removing the center clearance light on the rear cap, it took me less than two minutes to snake the camera's power wire, and splice it into the clearance light wiring.
The only problem I ran into was reverse polarity in the wiring harness (apparently a common problem?...). - klutchdustExplorer IIreturned from 1800 mile trip to Moab. Welded broken slide bracket, front slide opened slightly while traveling down I-40. Repainted lower panel damaged by trailer hitch. Replaced differential gear oil with synthetic. Need to wash and restock for Hot Rod reunion in Bakersfield in a few weeks.
- OldRadiosExplorerLast scheduled trip this fall is over. Washed, winterized, and put in the garage for the winter.
- Wayne67vertExplorerI replaced all the brake parts on the rear of my E450.
Rotors, Calipers and pads.
Bled the lines and it's good now.
Passenger side was metal to metal grinding the rotor to almost 1/2 its stock thickness.
Pep Boys had a 30% off online orders, saved me a bunch. - AJRExplorerThree inches of rain here. So I went out in the rain and used dryer sheets to remove the bug splats. Very easy in the rain.
I also ordered a new Brake Buddy as the old one had a short in it. A short bad enough to melt the power connector over time.
I did an autopsy and man they sure have a lot on their logic board. Something smelt burnt. But nothing looked burnt. - jaycocreekExplorer IIHad to re-wire the trailer plug for my ATV trailer in the field.I found it easier to just cut the wires and re-wire it with a new 4-way plug rather than mess with the old one that worked one minute then not.
Atleast I got to finish my trip without any tickets.
Five Rhino loads to fill my sons HD2500....
I good week in the Class C with great scenery at 65-7000 feet.
The Onan 4K did not want to start/run right without manual adjusting at that altitude yet my Honda did. - bukhrnNomad

bukhrn, water in the bowl is a good thing.:)
I thought it was just a rubber O-ring, in fact it's a giant rubber washer. - woodworker414Explorerbukhrn, water in the bowl is a good thing.:)
- bukhrnNomadReplaced the flush ball seal in the toilet, water actually stays in the bowl now. ;)
