Last year, I had an incident where I damaged the pathetic factory roof rails. Had to cut them off due to spinning nutserts, and started the journey of full removal. Fast forward, started looking for a replacement rig, nothing on the market was doing it for me...too much tech, and honestly most felt disposable. I purchase this LC in 2008 from a client in Santa Clarita, no wreaks, no rust, and always serviced. Wife looks at me and says, paint her and when the engine goes V8 swap her. She is back from paint and now I am putting back all the bits, my why....clean then install, inspect and replace. The last comment might anger some on mud, but I do not plan to take her to the woods, she is now a town and country Cruiser. Might see a field or tow a trailer / boat. I can say its worth every penny to keep this rig on the road.
