Well the IAC didn’t fix my idle problems… narrowed it down to either a bad CTS (coolant a temp sensor) or a vacuum leak in my throttle body. So either way, on hold for the time being.

The vacuum hoses didn’t fix my blend door issue, so strike two.

But I did get some headway done today. I got my Lido Mounts installed, so now my tablet, Cell Phone, and HT have a place to live in the cockpit.

Started taking measurements for space to add a 5 Star crash rated kennel/crate for the working dog I'm getting for my business.
Looking at ripping out back seats and creating a flat platform in which to mount the crate for transportation.
Looks like I'll use the Tacoma DCLB for when me and the dog have inspections.

I have a few weeks to figure this out yet. Her training just started and I won't go for my handling classes and certifications until Late October at best.
It will also be nice for her "home life" and taking her on trips. By having a place for her, she'll have heat and AC.

I finally finished cleaning my Jeep. It took a beating on Fordyce at the Sierra Trek and got tons of new pin-striping on the sides. Plus the entire interior was completely dusty. I do a once a year deep cleaning, getting him ready for ski season. The deep cleaning, washing, waxing, conditioning and taking off some of the additional armor took me a total of 15 hours! Yikes! But then again, I can't stand driving the Jeep to work sitting in total filth either :confused:

Finalizing the install of my Up down Air system, just need to do some clean-up sanding on the plastic trim. The first two pictures I created to keep my old brain in check

Since you mentioned getting a weekly pass, I assume you were on Cape Hatteras National Seashore. Great choice and I’m fortunate to live nearby. Glad you enjoyed it. The next time you’re out this way, if you want more of a challenge, consider Cape Lookout NS which starts south of Ocracoke. No roads or permanent development but the Park Service does have several cabins for rent on the South Core Banks section. Free boondock camping is available most anywhere between the dunes and the high tide line.

A bit north of Hatteras, in Corolla - plan on going back next year so thanks for the tip, will hopefully get a chance to check it out.

Really like your diagrams. I'm considering doing plumbing like this when I put the ARB Linx system in for my Air System control.
