Pulled my inner fender skirt while prepping for upcoming snorkel and bumper install that's down the road a few weeks. All clips donezo and skirt was in pretty beatup shape.... do people leave these things off. Are they really necessary?
I installed my snorkel about two weeks ago, went off-roading last Sunday - fender liner was left off as I was awaiting replacement clips to reinstall it. The mount of mud and crud that packed in the the fender behind the wheel convinced me the reinstall was necessary...
Since my LC100 was on the lift with skids plates off getting my TJM Pro Locker repaired I went ahead and had the shop install some Pfrans cv boot clamps.
I wasn't even considering a LX in my search due to my dislike of the front end until I saw your post. Wow think I'm leaning towards a black LX now. Nice rig what, size bfg's are you running?
Switched map lights, to blue. Because blue lights at night are cool.
LED fog lights
And replaced the hood struts. For safety, and a reason to wrench with a friend.
Got my new (to me) gently-used-for-only-a-year 275/70/18 Cooper S/T MAXX tires and wheels installed from an 07 LX470 which will be sold soon courtesy of @PaulLx470 (who really is an effing awesome guy for doing this for me) in return for a full exterior detail on his beautiful new 200 and lunch of course! All we did was swap all five tires on their wheels and called it a day... best part of it all, Paul knew the service advisor and they did it all free of charge! A million thanks to him for making this happen!
Rotated my tires today - and the tech that last had my tires off can go straight to hell. Breaker bar on all 20 to loosen, amazed I didn't break a stud.

Installed snorkel last night. What a rush drilling the fender! Being in the desert I guess it's more for cooler/cleaner air that fording rivers but it looks cool.

She's completely stock suspension-wise. I wanna do a torsion bar crank session to get the front end up just a tiny bit without screwing everything else up but I have no time right now!

To be honest, I really don't have a lot of plans to radically mod my ol' girl. Though, at this time last year I was dead set against taking off my running boards or getting all-terrain tires haha... things do change, and my outlook on her may as well as time goes by.
