I am beat. Buffed it all out. Skipped the wax cause I wore myself out. I think it cleaned up pretty good.
Here's some before.......

And after......

Looks good! Nice refresh on the bumper and sliders as well!

I still have a long list of items I need to deal with on this rig. It's got a date with Bell Lexus in Scottsdale this Friday....to troubleshoot the death star master cylinder assembly. I figured that was good motivation to spruce it up a bit.....lol

Being the blue collar diy guy that I am......dropping my LX off at the dealer was an interesting experience. Plus this one is located in North Scottsdale.

I have a friend that works there and he was very helpful. I have had brake issues probably due to me improperly bleeding the brakes. I was unaware of the correct procedure. They are gonna check. I won't get it back till Monday, so they gave me a loaner car too. It's a 2026 TX 350. It's the newest vehicle I have driven. Seems really fancy for my standards.

Pulled apart the passenger front to replace a diff seal. Drained and refilled the front and the tcase as well.

Was up in Flagstaff this past weekend for a friend's wedding. We did some wheeling around the Cinders OHV area and beat the crap out of the LX. New seal is still holding tight.

Got 4 new tires. Saved 1 old one as a spare. Went with Toyo Open Country RT trails in the same 35 x 1250 x 17 size. They ride amazingly smooth and quiet compared to the clapped out Yoko Geolander MTs.
Went up to Lane Mountain which is south of Crown King. Was 75 degrees up there.....so nice. Stopped at the Crown King saloon on the way home.
