    Rust protection advice needed - CRC over fluid film ?

    Did cosmoline (RP342) and am very happy with the results. Cosmoline dries, fluid film, woolwax, etc, stays wet. YMMV, of course.

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

    - First oil change today, CHECK! - Having to remove the front skid plate is a complete PITA, CHECK! - Ordering an aftermarket skid plate later today with the panel to access the oil filter, CHECK! Edit - Also rotated the tires. Skid plate pissed me off so much I forgot to mention the rotation...

    Installed the pedal commander. Just got back from the 'test drive' . Still have a big smile on my face. This thing is a no brainer upgrade (not new news, I know), just sayin.

    4x4 Magic Beans

    I know, right! No pics, no video. Tooo much pucker factor at the time. Was just happy to get the heck out of there! Tried to go back later and find the spot but was a large park and our first time there, couldn't find it. Knowing me though....I'll get stuck again. Pics for sure, lol.

    Painted and installed RSG sliders. Was going to take it to a buds shop to do the install but decided to do it at home and have my 15 yo son help. Great time, and gave him a lot of experience running the bolts.

    Former truck owners who switched to 4Runner, chime in!

    Too funny, I was just thinking about this the other day. Had full size pickups for years when I was younger.....and wouldn't change it because actually used the bed often. Had kids, got away from hobbies where a pickup was handy, and it was a no brainer to go 4runner. So, was thinking, after...

    Front dune flag mount

    Not when the requirement is to have the flag mounted to the front of the vehicle. This was easy to build. YMMV, of course.

    Front dune flag mount

    Mounts to Treaty Oak recovery point. Built it a few weeks ago. Won't say it will support my 225 lbs if I stand on the tip but it's not going anywhere. Gap between the bumper and mount looks huge in the pic but it's only an inch.

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

    Spent a good bit of time with CarPro Spotless on the hood. Got the paint ceramic coated and hood/front bumper covered with "protective film" when brand new. Not sure I like the film. Really wants to water spot.
