What did you do to your GX TODAY?

I just took delivery of this black '04. It was a hail-damage write-off (which I knew - I've always bought Salvage-title cars). In the last week +/- I've tackled some jobs:
Forgive the dirty state - I've got Leatherique on the way and will wash/wax once I get mechanicals squared away.
- Took out broken sunroof (hail), took out headliner, replaced track & motor & glass. Works like a charm now and I didn't have any interior parts left over! Thank god for the FSM on Toyota Tech.
- Sanded/Polished/Cleared the headlights (they were looking pretty ragged)
- Bought new Toyota 4 Runner wheels, TPMS Sensors, and tires to replace the weather cracked tires, peeling chrome wheels, and dead TPMS sensors.

You are welcome. Yeah I am the same way, I wish the previous owner would have had one, the only real cosmetic problems with my GX would have been non existent with a deflector like yours. I almost purchased one on eBay, but the seller wouldn't accept my offer, so now I have to wait 30 days to put another offer in. Smh I should have taken the last counter. Lol

Today I put on some 2017 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport package 17" wheels. They rubbed a little so I got a 1/4" spacer to push them out a bit. Does anybody know a cheap place to get some paint matched center caps? Would be nice to get rid of the Toyota caps...

Yesterday - Polished up my headlights. 2006 with 201k miles on it. New to me as of a few weeks ago. Also crawled around the engine bay and underneath the truck - amazing how well cared for this is. I do have a leak I need to tackle soon - I'm thinking transmission cooler line, maybe.
Passenger's headlight wet sanded and polished. Crappy picture, but you guys know what an 06 looks like.
This make my BT45 not work.
Saturday - Installed the BT45-Toy kit. Love it. I just run the Android Auto app on my phone, and use the BT45 for all calls and audio.
Friday - ripped out the poorly wired and non-functional XM adapter and controller for the aftermarket DVD players in the headrests, as it was causing my NAV system to go nuts when the BT45 was installed. Found some kind of jumper harness under the center console. Removing it seems to have solved any problems installing the BT45.
Driving to Houston tonight for work, so I won't give her a proper bath until Saturday. I'll get some pics then.
