Last month I rebuilt rear subs. and the wife and I rhino lined the whole truck exterior. Black and tan.
Last week, replaced right rear ABS sensor, installed Ultra gauge, added seafoam to the engine oil and ran 500 miles then changed oil and added larger Wix oil filter during change. replaced purge valve, day before yesterday installed Britpart 2" lift, (shocks HD springs and OME steering stabilizer) yesterday installed front Steel winch bumper, replaced Shuttle valve to eliminate three amigos,(it worked!) removed front right window regulator to replace motor and found its the regulator instead of motor. should have new regulator in an hour. also ordered regulators for right rear and left front. pretty sure there was more but at this time that's all I can remember!

Drove 800 miles on a round trip to Boston last week. Hit 123,456 miles, but the picture did not save. bummer.
It was the longest trip ever for me in rover by far, I think the longest drive previously was only 40 miles, but an hour and a half. It went as expected, loud and slow, I brought plenty of tools in in case. I did average 18-20 miles per gallon, about 65 mph, I cant believe it either, but that is what the numbers are. The tires are dedicated summer tires, I am sure that helps a bit, plus driving conservatively.
The engine does sound better, I think being hot for several hours helped clean it out. I normally only drive 7 miles at a time, never truly gets hot.
No leaks, coolant, PS and Brake fluid all good. Although I think i may be leaking tranny fluid, gotta look at it again, there was a drip.

The install I did took a lot longer than the normal install because I took the time to install sound deadening material under my carpet , I routed the power wire directly to the fuse box via a add a fuse so I can have it have power 24/7. The rear view camera wire I routed through the headliner along the right side then behind the plastic cover on the rear passenger window to the door. I wired the reverse power wire to the reverse light so when I put it into reverse the camera pops up, then the wire went through the door and I put the camera on the spare tire rim till I find a permanent location , I may try to put it on the license plate
