What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

I installed N-Fab Nerf Step Bars.

I also placed a nice message for my passengers.

Went for a drive in the OR coast range... just 'cause.







Still REALLY impressed with how well it handles washboard / rough gravel...
 
Got around to installing my TRD Bro fascia pieces. Luckily the weather cooperated and stayed decently dry today. Now waiting for my rear valance.

No finished pics cause it got dark by 3:30pm and my hands and face were dumb as F!

How much work was it to take the front bumper off?
When my light bar shows up I'll have to take the bumper off to get in there so wondering what I'm in for lol
Also was it tough to get your hands on a TRDpro grill? I've been interested in one since I got my 4runner.
 
Went out to Corolla 4x4 Beach for the first time and explored. I didn't realize all of the roads out here were all the beach houses are were all sand. :eek:

Nice, I want to get out there so bad just never seem to have the time. How did she handle it?

Lowered my tires down to 25 lbs, put her in L4H, and had no issues what so ever driving around. I may lower tires down more the next time. I also need to invest in an air compressor. Looking for a gas station with an air pump was a pain and $1 to pay for air is expensive.
 
Going back to Discount Tire again today, a different one though. Did confirm that the original shop did have the Toyota specific mounting plate. Even though the vibrations got better. The shimmy in the steering wheel is still present over 60mph. Sometimes even shows up around 55-57mph. Not super happy with these Cooper AT3s at the moment. Probably the last chance I'll let them have to git them right before I start pushing for a return.

picked up a set of N-FAB steps to pass along to [MENTION=118406]Haydenatx[/MENTION] from [MENTION=115953]HerT4R[/MENTION] on friday.
first time hanging out w a fellow forum member, we even got to do a little impromptu off-roading, followed by a lot of power washing
her rig is badass too, that '10-'13 slimline hybrid bumper prototype is awesome and we seem to have similar taste in sliders

Super easy. Pop the hood, remove the plastic tabs and one metal screw. Unscrew the bolts on the bottom and wheel well area. Unplug the fogs. Start pulling on one side of the wheel well. There is that top notch on the wheel well that helps keep the bumper in place. Once you pull the bumper off that notch the whole thing will come off with ease. Just have both hands ready or have another set to assist cause it might off fall off if you're not careful.


As for the garnish I got it used for $450 shipped, including the front valance. Not a bad deal.

If you would like to keep that tire, have them order a new set and start fresh. That is what they offered me when I was in your shoes.
