Had the brake fluid done while on the stands. Flushed and filled with Ate Typ 200.

Had some front suspension noise traced to the steering column lower joint. Another item I'd been putting off as it isnt inexpensive but another good one to do on the stands. Glad I did, no more noise makes it so much more fun!

Engine oil, coolant, front/rear diffs, transfer case, and tires all done recently. Ready and looking forward to this trip!
I used redline D4 ATF in my 4.6is. It made the transmission noticeably happier and also eliminated a strange 2-3 rough upshift around 3500 rpm.
