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

Couple of things checked off the list...

1.) Swapped out my head unit for a touch-screen aftermarket Pioneer radio. Still need to work on the ASWC-1 harness to retain steering wheel controls, but not worried about that.

2.) Fished a USB cable from the back of the new head unit through the center console.

3.) Swapped out the sh*tty roof rack cross-bar bolts for something easier to twist ($3/each).

4.) Went to Assateague Island and got to use the new Yakima Skyrise for the first time. Made this cool little video of us on the OSV section of the beach.

How is the Skyrise on the factory rails working out for you? I just picked up this RTT last week and i'm looking into mounting options
 
Washed, oil changed and a fresh set of shoes in 317/70R17. I hope they fit. Does anyone know if they'll rub? [emoji28]

Took a day off with the kiddos and hit a local old stage route between Flagstaff and Sedona. If any of y'all head out to Overland Expo West, Schnebly Hill Road is a fun site seeing drive, and the road isn't super technical at all.


And the knuckleheads checking out the view:
 
Removed the running boards from my 2017 Limited.

Posted on CL but no responses so far...ha.

I have a set sitting in the corner of the garage that I've come to terms with the fact I'll end up just scraping them unfortunately. The limited boards ride so much lower than other models that it only fits a niche market.
 
Do you have that noise where it sounds like its flapping up and down? I have the Thule Force and wanted to get this but my own sits right before the shark fin literally.

I have the same Thule box as Colorado_T4R mounted on the factory cross bars on my 2017 SR5. There's no way to adjust it without having significant overhang on the front of the box that ends up banging around on the 4Runner's roof (even with the front cross bar all the way forward). That's why I'm looking for taller crossbars or another way to lift the box higher so it doesn't touch the roof when loaded in the front. Outside of that, I love that Thule box.

Interesting, the Thule Force 2-3in shorter fits perfectly and I haven't had it banged up like what you explained. I was going this route until I measured both boxes.
 
Finally got a nice spring day on Monday and was able to get my door speakers all replaced. The speakers that I took out of my old truck had rusty contacts so I splurged and bought all new speakers for the front and rear doors as well as the back hatch.

Of course I had to get a before of the crappy paper cone speakers with no magnets

And since I had to buy all new TacoTunes adapters since the ones from my 4th gen didn't fit, I finally had all the right pieces to install

I was able to get all 4 doors replaced before the sun and temperature started dropping, so I got 4 of the 8 crappy stock speakers replaced so far. I have to still do the rear hatch and dash tweeters, and then add my JL sub, but it felt good to get some progress!
 
Drove it to the hospital and then drove it back home after finding out that United had coded the procedure incorrectly and it had to go back through the authorization process. :flipoff:
 
A little late, but from this weekend

I went Milky Way hunting! I found it, and I also took a few shots of the 4Runner as well. I constantly post on Instagram if you'd like to follow. If not I'll post on here when I can.
