Remember the KnightRider!
I think my ROTW starts tomorrow but I will be to busy to do this then. So, without further ado:
My rig
94 LC with 125k on the clock
I bought the rig last June with just under 114k on the clock and she was immaculate inside and out. The inside is still really clean but I have scratched and dented the outside pretty well. I do wash her quarterly whether she needs it or not. She had spent a good part of her first 10 years being towed behind a big RV and not wheeled much.
When I got it, it had a cheapie roof rack that eventually lost a battle with a tree. No more roof rack for me. It had a fugly front bumper and it was on 285 MT's. other than that it was totally stock.
Now that I started making a list I realize I have done a lot of little things so here it goes

engine oil- Mobil 1 15w-50 with Toyota big filter
diffs and transfer case- Mobil 1 75w-90

I love this rig and I enjoy working on it just as much as I do wheeling it. Look for me smashing my rocker panel in the Land Cruiser documentary
