Cleaned all seatbelts. Restored them from crunchy brown to supple factory grey. Easy job- pop the bottom bolt out, extend out out truck to max length, close door on belt, and powerwash both sides. I prepped with some dawn dish soap. Bonus- they all retract as new again.
 
Changed oil, M1 5w30. Trying out the Fumoto valve.
 
Finally have the 5 BFG KO2 installed that have been sitting in my garage in the past several months. Sure glad to have some room back in the garage. I love how these tires look, and seems pretty quiet on the road. I have only driven 5 miles between the shop and home.

Took out the rear seats and removed the bottoms. Wow. Found an 11mm socket, an eyepatch, and a crayon. PO was apparently transporting baby pirates. Bad ass.

Swapped antenna mast. Took less than 5 min. One bite of a banana job.
 
Interesting, I see no real visible sign of deterioration, outside of where hoses cover.

Yeah, there was a little seepage around the hoses but other than that they looked to be in pretty good shape until we pulled them apart. the other tee looked fine, so I will keep in in the LC as backup just in case. Glad i changed them when i did though.
 
Replaced windshield, started died at glass shop -___- Great! Would you all recommend replacing leaking valve cover gaskets while doing the starter? Or waiting on the valve cover gaskets until my nearing 90k (180k) service is done?
 
No.. you have to remove it as the bumper uses the 6 mounting holes holding up the tire bracket...My wife is not a big fan of the tire on the rear tire carrier, that's why it's not pictured...
Tempting to get rid of the spare tire bracket but it serves double duty as a structural member. Does it still fit with Luke's bumper?
 
Things I've done so far to my 03 LX. Change my oil to amsoil. Replaced the rear entertainment system with a 11" HD monitor and blu-ray player, retrofitted my headlights, added a aftermarket Amp to my stereo. Next will be rims, uca, lower balljoints, brakes and rotors all the way around
