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

Went to Amish Country in Conewango Valley, NY a part of Western NY. Had custom Ordered a Trash can receptacle shed from them, came out great. The shed cost $200 but the views to and from their place of living and work were just beautiful. 2 hours each way! Used a trailer on this one for the first time, handled fantastic!

Bobs, I wouldn't keep all those snacks and bars inside there all the time because its a sure way to invite rodents to your rig.

I so happy that my fab shop had me go to another customer of his to drive his LT 4runner and I was like why would I do this to myself . It's been such a up n down last couple of weeks since I bought the runner that I just want to enjoy the stock ride for now. 100% on you about the sliders. Wonder if the stocks can hold for a while - I rarely barely do any crazy off-roading.

Exactly you spend close to 40k on a 4runner and spend almost another 10k to diminish the ride and add extra maintenance lol. That's why the control arm and coilover is a good compromise.
But I'm also in the same boat I love how quiet and smooth it is and thats got me researching tires like crazy. Think I'm set on falken wildpeak a/t3 p285/70/17

But honestly look into the bilsteins they are alot better over stock my 4runner felt like a boat when it was stock. Now with the bilsteins and no front sway bar it feels better then stock doesn't whip you around if you go up a driveway fast at an angle, with the sway bar it stiffened the ride up in a good way on road.
But check out summit they were the cheapest online and no tax and free shipping. And everything I've ever ordered from them showed up next day by the time I got home from work. Also you can't beat their return policy and customer service.

Go under your truck and look at the mounting points on your sidesteps its scary they bolt directly to the body not even to the frame. I'm 220 lbs and can feel them flex when I stand towards the back when I wash the roof.

Wow....ur not a scorpion r u ....my thoughts exactly $42k otd + $12k. I am also not going to be ashamed to say - I kinda like the boaty feel - akin to Lexus-like . Not sure - but am also very happy with the stock tires - just want black rims and the black out kit for the emblems. Still debating HIDs for headlights but that'd be a easy swap .

Gave her a really good cleaning after wheeling in 3 different parts of AZ. LIFE IS GOOD. Before and after on my wheels & tires thanks to Adams products and a myriad of brushes. Hahaha. The barrels of the wheels are cleaned too but you can't see those in the pic.

Nice, haven't seen 81F up here for several weeks...
Now if you had your passenger take that photo while doing 81mph :)

We're having one of our fall heat waves. It got up to 87 yesterday, and 98 today.

Then we'll probably get a little rain beginning of next week.
 
Ran over a toothpick. This is why I love the fat lush!

Not today, but Tuesday I had my 275/70/17 AT3's installed! Love the ride and look. Drove straight from work 200 miles to Orlando for a little Wife and Husband get away. Handles like a champ on the freeway and road noise was almost non existent up to 80mph.

Better pics later but this is what I have ATM.

Installed 5100s F/R with OME 895e's with OME trim packer on driver rear coil in the back and stock coils in the front set at 0.85" last weekend with @MarkamusPrime. All wrapped up in P265/70/17 Falken AT3/W's. Was only able to get 1.5 caster with an experienced alignment tech, may be getting UCAs earlier than planned. Initial driving impressions- firm in the front, but pretty stiff in the back. May go back to stock rear coils to alleviate this.
