I use to do road side services on semi's and it was never fun working on them with trucks flying by at 65mph and so I decided to get it towed. Plus the tow truck driver only charged me $100 for 30+ miles

Washed it and cleaned the sunroof drains. I am quite pleased to report that despite living in Canada and having a touch under 460,000 km's on it the frame and undercarriage are still clean and rust free....well ok, it lived most of it's life in California.
 
Prepped for a ride tomorrow - decided to remove my underneath tire carrier. I've been carrying the spare inside for at least a year.

Went out of town and used the lockers multiple times. I did a little experimenting and found that there were many places that I could not go without my lockers!

That picture of a scrape is where my towing receiver scratch the rocks as I was headed down!
 
Took the LX up to Flagstaff, but got rained out at the Snow Bowl.
Then Schnebly Hill Road road down from the Mogollon Rim to Sedona:

...and a bit impromptu dirt road driving on the way back - traffic accident on I-17 (listening in on CB channel 19 helped decide what to do...), so detour to Mayer - Turkey Creek - Bumble Bee, and back on the highway downstream of the accident.

Pulled interior and cleaned carpets, wow that is a lot of work and a lot of drying time

Does everything have to come out or can seats & console stay in and carpet slide out from under them?
 
Everything has to come out, use bags and a sharpie
