For the front door seals I got Ronnie's kit and it is awesome. He basically combines the ones he likes best from the different suppliers. The windshields and seals are isp west and are pretty good. Hopefully pretty soon down the road I can put safaris in. Cool

Haven't been on in awhile, had a medical emergency with my youngest and took us out for awhile.
Have been able to get some stuff done over the last week though.

Also got these in, the front cab area is looking good. Also got the tranny drained and filled with fresh fluid, replaced the rear tranny mounts, ordered a auto bug starter for it, replaced the rear soft brake lines. Waiting on a 46mm impact socket to come in so I can tackle the rear brakes. Still need to bench bleed the new master cylinder I put in. Work, work, work I love it though. Cool

the axle boots should be rotated with the seam horizontal, this allows for easier up and down movement of the axle tube.

Of coarse I ran out of paint part way through.

Wow, it has been too long. I took a bit of time off from the bus over the deepest part of the winter and the lack of funds, but I'm back on it.
Got the rear corners buffed a bit and put some TR-3 on there.

Working on the roof now but I ran out of buffing compound, so now I need to get my cargo area cleaned out and put my bay middle seat in there to cart the whole family around. Hopefully tires soon and a lot more updates.
Here is the video of the first start up I should of put up months ago.
