218,000 miles on my LC now. Last weekend I put on 1.25" Bora wheel spacers and changed the original fuel filter.
Today I did a transmission flush and fill which is a really easy job in a 2003 since it has a dipstick. I think it was the original fluid. Tomorrow I may flush the power steering.

What fluid for the job?
What wheels are those?

Just did the exact same thing a couple weeks ago. There is a rubber grommet that sits in a hole in the body panel behind the trim. You likely pushed that through into the body. It falls and it completely unreachable but shouldn't rattle or anything. Thought about gorilla gluing a compatible nut from a junk drawer onto the hole in the body panel but have not yet dealt with it.
Well fudge. That explains why I didn't hear anything fall. Don't love the idea of gorilla glue b/c I know I'll have to get in there again sometime.
Anyone have a lead on the part number for the grommet to replace it?
Saw this # on Toyota parts and a different thread on here but unsure if it includes the part that dropped into the body panel:
PT347-60990-HK
This is my future, lots of cleaning along with a dab of gasket replacement. Nothing is wrong either, just preventative and general upkeep...
Today I almost finished the front drivetrain restoration. Moog sway bar end links, 555 ball joint, EBC stage 6 brakes with blue stuff, thoroughly cleaned, removed rust, painted and coated with RP-342. The wheel hub is already all cleaned up and filled with new Koyo bearings, just going to get back in there and replace all the mangled axle nuts and seals(thanks Lexus) to make sure preload is accurate.
My hub was about as rusted as you’re is. Getting the rotor off was fun. And there was also silicone sealant over the flange which got the cone washers wedged something awful. I did the file, sand and paint restore because there didn’t appear to be any significance damage. Cheaper than the $400 wheel hub assembly and depending on how well work is going, sometimes worth it

Judging by your pictures, yours is in much better shape than mine! No surprise, given your location. I'm going to clean everything up and reuse what I can; I discovered the spindle bearing and oil seal were shot so now I'm waiting on those parts, which gives me time to clean and repaint the knuckle assembly.
When do you start to spend money?

Trying out OBD Fusion for iOS. Pretty slick. I like to run OBD stats on the summer trails in Moab. Have used Torque Pro in the past.
I'm not that financially irresponsible, but I am considering getting back into swing trading here and there to support this habit...
What obd dongle are you using?
Which OBD sensor/transmitter do you have? Do you recommend it?
Also, do you know if the software you're using allows you ready systems other then engine codes? Like ABS, for example?
More info please, I run an iPad for nav but this would be a good addition.
Yep, all sorts of info to snag besides mechanical. Extra stuff is $9.99
