2/18/17 - Withlacoochee State Forest, Citrus Tract: 250 mile round trip over two days with 80+ off road miles!
Unfortunately my GoPro and/or SD card decided to crash and this was the only pic I was able to salvage from that drive.
More posing
Hanging with my Zebra buddy
Demonstrating the need for lockers
Big brother LR4
Starting to rain, made things interesting
Then a massive fallen tree blocked our exit (not shown)
Putting the Swampers to use the next day
It's a lot more interesting than it looks, lol

Time to properly trim the fenders; pre trimming
Damage was done prior to me taking possession
Clean cut
Matched on the other side

Rear wheel wells had folded over nicely
Quarter panels were ugly
Looks like someone hit it with an axe..
After trimming - Still need to give this side another pass
Passenger came out good
All 4 corners trimmed!

Got started on the real work AkA rust repair
Rear corners were the only issue in the back
I forgot to take before pics
Surprisingly clean
Drain holes installed by the PO
Knocked down the scale and applied two coats of Miracle Paint

Front floors were a slightly different story
Mud flap bracket starting to go
One hole was self inflicted
Patched with fiberglass mat
3+ coats of Miracle Paint, very pleased with the result

This was my patch for the last 3 months
Getting thin under the seat
Mud flap bracket halfway gone
Nasty
Single sheet to strengthen it up
Treated and sealed, still need a couple more coats
