I couldn't wait till spring. I started the process of coating and stopping the rust! The step/ top support bracket is trash.... The rot is so bad it's not salvageable. The rear crossmember looks fantastic though and will turn out great once coated.
 
Started on some rear storage before spring fishing and camping get here. I have it where it should be a sleeping platform. I may build drawers. Or I may go buy more plastic bins to store my various crap in the garage, and just do a speedy switch when my mood changes (hunting stuff for fall, fishing for spring, cycling for summer, skiing and recovery for winter). I am not intense at those things, those are just the things I want organized. I am reading all the great builds on rear drawers and storage systems to help me.

Did you check valve gap while you were in there?
 
@sonk76,
Any input on the tires yet?
Looking at getting the 285/75r18
(35x11) and was curious as to what you think so far.
Thanks.
The lx looks great btw!

Installed a new alternator after the voltage regulator went out. Changed the oil and lubed the drive shafts. Changed the coolant. With all that done it was time for a reward so I installed my iCom 2730 dual band ham radio and Diamond MR77 antenna.

Oh man, I cannot wait to hear how it goes!


Well I ran out of time but I did get time to look below and start planing the mounting of the Slee circuit. Not sure If I want to mount it on the Axle or on the body and extend a wire harness to the e-locker. The circuit has no mounting hardware or anything in the casing to mount it, so I'm going to have to make something will start on that today. Wish they had put something on the casing so it could be mounted.
 
Changed my air filter and organized an offroad training class with friends. I was the only 100 in the group with a Range Rover, Xterra, and some jeeps.

 
I drove up to the mountains and had a blast this weekend! @benc did I by chance see you heading east on HWY 20, in the early afternoon on Saturday? I was heading west and passed a graphite 100 with what sure looked like a dissent bumper with full guard, and in my rear view I noticed an unfamiliar rear bumper... It sounded great too!
