Ya sorry about not leaving my history, I'm 45, I can turn a wrench pretty well, I have all the crows feet, swivels, torque wrenches, blah blah.
Yes Arizona does kill rubber for sure. I found Raybestos brake hoses that I'll do myself and flush.
My RV is at a storage facility on asphalt, and some big DP's on either side of me can shade me.
Here's a Youtube video of my dog house being off, and me walking around pretty much showing what my setup looks like.

Sorry it its jumpy, it was right after work and I was tired and running out of light.
I think previous owner did the radiator in 2003, and water pump in 2004. I'm making a huge trip to the northwest and since the Power Steering pump assists the Hydro-Boost brakes, that was the one reason I'd have someone else do it, due to safety. Other than that, I'd go for it. Worst case I disable the vehicle, and I'd have a mobile guy finish the rest of I'd tow it to someone. Either way I may video tape all of it. I'm never afraid of a project but it just seems there's always SOMETHING that comes up during it that stumps you, you know?
