She has been hibernating for over a month now. I do like the car cover it has a zipper access opening on the driver door and costs just under $70 from Amazon.

I pulled spare tire carrier and rear bumper cover and gave the frame etc a solid coating of tinted black Woolwax. This rust free Texas truck must be preserved forever!

Dude, can you not? That thing is so stinking clean that it's ridiculous. Haha, never have I ever seen't anyone with clean brake dust shields except you. Brilliant!
I went through a repair of something just like that when I first got my LC. Cost me $500 to repair , add metal, repaint, but looks good as new now. It is probably a bit ugly with the metal under the weather stripping.
Finally did the Pin 7 Mod. Also changed the LED Flasher Relay, blinkers are no longer skipping a beat!
Wondered where you’d been… at least you didn’t buy a new defender!
Sheesh, no! Replaced it with a 200.
Thanks! It does not show its age that’s for sure. It’s like new underneath. 200k on it now and it looks and drives like it has 30k.
tell me you winter store that thing..... you need a dedicated winter beater dude.
Funny you say that because I did pick up a winter car. The problem is I really miss not driving the LX.

Probably some wicked early 100 series with a batmobile add-on right?
Got my front end done. What a freakin mess.
Used the Cruiser Outfitters Timken kits along with their snap ring set which was good for both sides. Added Toyota rotors and cone washers, and trying out some Powerstop ceramic pads.

Removed two crusty stuck bolts from the previous receiver hitch. Required dremel cutting the welded nut, heating up what was left and banging them out of the frame.
Took a couple hours but the new Curt receiver hitch is on. I used Trail Tailor’s bolts and got some flange nuts from McMaster carr. I finagled a long breaker bar to hold th nuts in place while i torqued the bolts below. I wish I could have found the serrated nuts which would have helped.
Just waiting for a couple coats of rust converter and encapsulator to cure before putting the plastic back on.
I wish. I got a high mileage awd E90 BMW that’ll probably leave me stranded on the coldest day of winter.
Went to swap out a loud tensioner pulley and didn't feel like dropping the skid plate or removing the air box and of course made life harder on myself than it should have been. finally got the pulley off and as I was picking up the new OEM one, I realized it was the wrong size... I THOUGHT I double triple checked the part number before ordering. so I got to reinstall a rickety squeaky pulley until I can get another one.

Been there. Replace the whole tensioner.
Here is an update, I am nearly completed, handed thee canvas cover and braai grid to a canvas shop to stitch onto the canvas cover some PVC material all along where the square tubing will make contact on the canvas cover to enable me to wash off the sooth on the cover. Will upload photos when completed
