Do you still have your factory crossbars with their channel nuts and knobs?
Can I convince you to send them my way?
If you get aftermarket boots, just cut the tulip off the old boot and insert in the new boot and cinch them down.
Do I see rock lights under that?
I just sold my house in Phoenix last month..should probably update, lolwait.. Jersey or PHX?
or both?
Yeah, LEDs tied into the OEM courtesy light wiring.

That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Painted the skid plates, re-installed the painted gas tank cover, needle scaled the rust on the frame welds on the front half (did the mid/rear earlier) cleaned the frame, painted the frame areas that I needle scaled with Eastwood rust encapsulator paint, and shot some inside the frame too. Took it off the hoist, outside and washed the filth off. No idea what the previous owner got into but there was yellow muck everywhere. If it wasn’t plastic I would think it was rust dots, but it’s not and it comes off. Used super clean and a stiff bristle brush and it came “super clean”. Will probably need to do it a few times, and with a tooth brush in some of the smaller areas, but for now it’s 120 times better (see what I did there? 
) , it’s pearl white, not “coffee teeth white”
Here is what I’m talking about. Left side I have cleaned (once), right side I have not. Whole thing had it, on every panel.
Getting close to getting plates on this sucker!

The things you have to do in freezing winter regions! Looks good though. Panama would be much kinder to the metal
Yeah why does anyone live in the freezing cold?

Not to mention if it was Panama this would be a Prado, and diesel.... sigh... one day...
Agreed!! But mainly because of country borders.... pretty much as far south as I can get until I somehow manage to get a Panama visa....
Picked up the truck with new shoes, 255/75r17. Pics to follow. Also have CV cakes in the garage awaiting install.
De-blinged the rear.

^did you use plastidip? That came out great!
I did. I plastidipped the grill, wheels, and emblems on my 100 series about 4 years ago and it’s held up great, so I decided to do the emblems on the 120 as well. The only difference is I added the glossifier on the GX emblems. I’m digging the glossy look so far.
Went for a quick leaf-changing scout today. The new tires feel great! Loads of other items to complete but I need time and parts, mostly time.
I ordered a master cylinder / ABS module / skid control ECU assembly today..hopefully that fixes my C1340/C1203 codes.
Nice. Hopefully everything came apart easily
Yeah, I will also be replacing my front axles soon, new parts are in the garage.
Sometimes it is also about the little things, replaced the front passenger's door switch piece. The front clip is what broke on the old piece, no trace of it remained.

Did you remove and paint or mask VERY VERY well?
