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

Anyone seen someone who painted the lower left/right silver pieces black as well? I've been debating this in conjunction w/ buying an aftermarket unit.

Closest I can think of is [MENTION=8206]harper7[/MENTION] who CF wrapped all the pieces, maybe that can give you an idea?

[MENTION=65614]Antman[/MENTION], you sure you didn't take that picture? It definitely resembles your shooting style :caked:
 
Thank you! That definitely helps. Harper did a nice job with that wrap.

The wrap didn't hold up too good on the dash kit as it started to lift on the corners when winter hit and it shrunk as there are too many compound curves.

I took the wrap off the dash kit and the two side pieces below and painted them black as it's a pain to wrap them over again. Still have it on the steering wheel trim and center console though.
Here is what it looks like now as I added a air gauge and some switches......post #357 Dash kit painted black
 
Thank you. I stumbled across your later painted project. That was exactly what I was looking to do. I had been trying to figure out what to do with the blank spaces on each side of the head unit which were particularly glaring with the silver dash kit. It's clear they bothered you too!

Exceptionally well done! Looking forward to exploring your other projects. Thank you for sharing.

My lift arrived at the house today but I'm in Andrews, TX today for work. :crybaby:. However I fly home tomorrow! But leave tomorrow night for 10 days. Install date set for September 30 and October 1. :party:
 
WeatherTech Installed/Vault Console ordered

I threw in my new WeatherTechs and ordered my Vault Console for the center console, as well as looking for the best interior LEDs to use to replace all interior lights. Open to suggestions-
 
Towed my 5x10 enclosed trailer chock full of a freshly cut Laurel Oak tree. Tree was about 20" diameter at chest height. Real heavy. Not sure how heavy though. Glad I didn't bust a bearing on the trailer or bend it's axle, which has happened before. Icon rears handled the weight like a charm.
 
Went up by Mt St Helens and hiked the Lava Canyon Trail. Found a side road and flexed the suspension a tiny bit.

I'm actually getting a ticket as we speak. I'm learning that this V6 has plenty of power and a super charger is not needed :)

What would have made this funny is if it was the 5th Gen guy on here that has a NC State trooper charger as his other car (I cannot remember his name for the life of me but I'm pretty sure he has a build thread around here somewhere, it's a mag grey trail that's all I remember).
 
Your truck is thinking "I'm sexy and I know it"


You know


That song


In the m&m commercial ...


Now, back to your truck, looks rough yet elegant ..

Thank you. She doesn't get to go hardcore offroading like my truck, but that is probably because she is 15 years younger. I can still get out and stretch the 4runner's legs sometimes.
 
Took the bulldog to get spayed. Damn shame as she has top notch bloodlines but I don't want to deal with another female with PMS...
