While I was in there I took off all four wheels and cleaned them thoroughly. Put new Akebono ceramic pads on the front brakes. Rotors mic'ed well within spec so I should be good for a few more road trips. Topped off the front dif but didn't need but a few drops.
New tires happening this week in preparation for a trip on Saturday.
Best regards,

I feel your pain about the heat. I was lucky and got my rebooting done before it hit 47c.
It's getting hot enough to have your sweat make you hydroplane off the toilet now....
