    Timing belt was done by p.o. and I do plan on beefing up the steering down the road. Eventually I will be getting UCA and IAB from 4x4parts. I got all my urethane bushings, Rancho 5000x shocks and adjustable shackles from them already. I'm currently rebuilding the suspension as we speak...

    Camping Set-up (RTT & Awning) So i did a thing! (March 2021) After dragging my 1998 Coleman Cheyanne Pop-up 150 miles to the beach and burning almost a whole tank of gas, I said "time for camper to go by-by" So as you can see, it was not a bad camper just didn't have a need for it...
