I got a few more things taken care of yesterday. I added engine oil and coolant to the engine. I forgot to grab some transmission fluid when I went out so I'll get some today on the way home.

While I have the control arms out, I figured I would take a look at the brakes. I removed the calipers, cleaned things up, re-lubed the slides, checked the dust boots, etc. All the normal stuff besides replacing parts. I'm glad I did it as the passenger side slides were pretty stiff.





While I was finishing that up, my wife came out and asked if she could help with anything. I grabbed some rubbing compound for her and she went to town on some scuffs on the bumper. Looks much better now.
