The FX4 got new front brakes, spark plugs and coil boots, a new DPFE sensor, and new coolant. I burped what air I could in the driveway, I'll bring along what's left to monitor the system as we drive to Colorado. The belt and pulley changes didn't go as planned. I couldn't get the clutch fan off and no one local has a pulley holder. So, the job will have to get done after the trip. I did change the one belt tensioner for the alternator belt but the idler pulley is buried behind the water pump pulley, which requires the clutch fan to be removed so that the water pump pulley can be removed. I also discovered I ordered two of the same belt. So the A/C belt got changed and I now have a spare. I also discovered there is two belt tensioners, one for each belt. So, that will also have to be addressed after we get back. The belts still have some time, since I was changing them early. It just would have been nice to have everything fresh before all the trail riding.
