Yes, there was some lite corrosion.

Priorities
Added rubber stripping to cull wind noise around door seams. These came standard on later model LX470, but on my 1998. Had to drill a couple of holes here and there to make everything fit.

@ClassyJalopy Nice. any test rides yet to see if it made a difference?
Not yet, hopefully this weekend.
Thank you. Only thing I may try to add are some tie down points that will fold flush. I plan to use it more as a flat load floor than a sleeper but who knows.
@GigEm94 I planned to use mine mostly as a sleeper but I think it sees more cargo use than it does sleeping use. It's normally in full length mode until the kids need the back seat. If you're going to use it mostly for cargo, I'd get some nice wood to use. Like some 9 ply 1/2" Baltic birch plywood would be perfect. I couldn't source any locally so I opted for some cheap stuff. It holds up fine and is good for two people camping, but I don't like putting a loaded cooler in the middle where there's no supports.
I’ve been wanting to add a CB without having to have an extra antenna. Since I don’t use the radio for fm/am and my antenna is broken off anyways, this is great. I know most don’t like the CB because it’s “old tech” or “not used by anyone” but we use them around the farm and while hunting. If you’ve got any advice I’ll definitely take it. I’ll be attempting this project soon.
I did this on my 2007 just recently. My impression is that it did make for a noticeably quieter ride.
Few things. Put a foam/rubber seal between radiator and fromnt chassis to stop hot air re-entering engine bay.
Removed steel rack , inspected the absolute bs rust/stains and corrosion left over in pain and even sunroof glass stained from drip drip drip of rust milkshake. Never buying steel again.
Took the roof tracks weather strip off, cleaned that gutter out pretty thoroughly, buffed the roof AND then put rhino rack platform on. Day and half job jeebuss

Still trying to get my rough idle figured out. After spark plugs, coils, maf cleaning and fuel injectors, I went to the PCV valve today.
Valve was fine, grommet was crunchy. Valve came out, grommet went in.
I guess it’s time to install all the gaskets and covers on the engine as I work my way down over the next 10 hours...

Finally added a disconnect switch for my winch. Had been thinking about it for over a year at this point.
@ftzgrlds1 planted the bug a while ago: What have you done to your 100 Series this week? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/what-have-you-done-to-your-100-series-this-week.609679/post-13436968

Also, added PCV valve cover (not sure what it does but it was under $2 to add to my Partsouq order. Final part I added is the main fuse box cover. Mine had busted clips and crumbling moisture seal.

Is the DRL not on a separate wire?
It is. But wouldn't I need a switch with 3 settings?
The current switch slides up (drl), center is off and down is the on setting.
(think of a seesaw)
