When I updated from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2 on my GNEX it wiped/lost my root. I want to re-root with Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit which I used before. Is there special/different steps to re-rooting a phone or do I just start from the beginning?
That depends on what's the beginning to you.

What I lost was my "root privileges", Files that I disabled are still disabled. The root process is not working. It looks like most of the root files are still there. What I would like to know is how to get my root privileges back. Do I do a do-over from the beginning or just do a part of the procedure?

The problem with that is I already have my phone unlocked. I just didn't get a chance to root it. I don't want to go through unlocking it again and having it erase my phone. I just want to be able to root it. That's all.
I may add that my nexus is the unlocked GSM UK version.
Rooting without deleting everything would be better.
Thanx

Carrier unlocked and bootloader unlocked are different.
You need to unlock the bootloader (which wipes the phone) in order to root it...

I'd recommend starting those backups Protip: if you use dropbox sync in Titanium Backup Pro, you can actually back up your user apps on your old phone (provided you have wifi or your old phone is still active) and restore them on your Gnex. Make sure you do this ONLY for user apps, though.

Unsure really why, but I tried the tool kit.
all i want is a simple root, I don't see why it's so hard after all this is a nexus.
Should I try the windows version of the other root app that's out?
I just want root access, nothing more.
This was much more simple on my nexus s

Its for security reasons... not so much for root, but for unlocking the bootloader. To be fair, almost every guide for the Galaxy nexus warned people to root on day one to avoid just this issue. That said, you may be able to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1402347
to create a full backup you can restore post unlock.

It just happens as a part of unlocking the bootloader. If you really want to save your data you can back it up manually or using the adb backup method. then restore it after rooting.
I have received the OTA 4.1.2 update. My phone was rooted and unlocked. Now after the update, I have lost root. How do I root this build? The Toolkit here only support 4.1.1

Noooo shiz. People will never learn.
The tutorial is outdated , some of those commands are not working.
Anyway for the originator of the topic you can root it with Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5.4 - just choose Android Any Build

Personally I found the All in one tool kit on the development forum freakin awesome:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680
Literally, after download installing, select your phone select rooting options, plug in your phone and make sure it is in USB debugging mode (developer options settings) and follow the instructions on screen. Soo easy, and a lot of is automated so install a few other things too.

To root it use towelroot app one click and a reboot later and your rooted and if you want boot loader unlock without wiping your data use bootunlocker for nexus from playstore . links to both these are hear root http://towelroot.com/ bootloader https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.segv11.bootunlocker
