Thanks guys. I'll work on getting more pics up. I the mean time I am soaking up as much knowledge about the rig as possible on here. I'm focusing on preventative maintenance (synthetics on all drivetrain elements), do the timing belt in the next few thousand miles since its original with only 60k, but at 14 years old, and a couple small improvements:
Commenced:
1. Xenon depot hid kit for low beams.
2. Weathertech mats
3. New hood struts from Lou's
eBay store
4. New tail lift struts from Lou's store (not as bad as the fronts, but still a little tired)
5. Amsoil 75-90 Severe Gear in front, rear, and transfer case. Amsoil transmission fluid for the tranny.
6. I picked up a trailer hitch from Louis, here on the classified section. I know, opposite of most members here who are more hardcore than I, but I need the capability to add my bike rack and luggage basket from the hitch with my 3 kids.
Future:
7. Researching best place to do 90k service since the rig is plenty old enough.
8. Pepping for front bearing repack and while I'm at it, new brake rotors and pads. I like to start fresh. Not in a hurry, since the brakes are just fine.
9. Replacement headunit since I've got the dreaded Err03 code. Not in a hurry on this one since the nakamichi still works on radio.
10. Flush AHC with new fluid.
That's it for now. Possibly bigger wheels and tires, but the stock 16s have Michelin LTXs with plenty of tread and work well in the basic trail and snow/ice conditions.
