Went grocery shopping and bought food for the food.

I installed Airlift 1000 air bags today on my Mojave. Took about 90 minutes with a second set of hands. We did not remove the springs and it went pretty well overall. At 10psi the bed just started to lift a little. I have a long 800 mile trip tomorrow so I'm going to leave it like that to see how it rides.
I have a bed rack and fridge/slide totaling about 270 lbs in/on the bed right now.
Heading to the mountains to camp in May so I'll bump up the pressure and test off road then.
If you're considering these, don't let the install scare you.

Got the aux backup lights installed. Now maybe I can see those black stop sign poles.

Towed my kid's first rig home...'97 Ford Explorer with only 99k miles. Paid $1250. Only issue mechanically is fuel pump...that should run us $65 and a couple hours of work. Then we'll start on some cosmetic and interior issues and the fun stuff...lift, tires, brush guard, etc.
The real question though...do I dare call it Chuck Jr? If it was a Blazer or Jimmy it'd be a no-brainer. But the Ford gives me pause...

I'm running a 95 Explorer. It has been a very capable rig. Even better with the latest mods. Just don't expect to find much "bolt-On" parts. If you like to fab, this is the platform LOL.
