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

The rear diff is always the dirtiest and smelliest one! :moon:

This is after merely the first 6k miles:

ARB Compressor Issue

While using my compressor yesterday I noticed a strange vibration and cycling. After several minutes of being on my compressor made a strange sound I'd never heard before and was running very loud. Turned the compressor off as fast as I could. Waited Scared all night and called ARB this morning to discuss and trouble shoot to identify the issue. After talking with a technician for not even 15 minutes and explaining as I did here he directed me where to look and what I needed to take apart and check. found the connection bolt inside the left housing was sheared off. The tech I was talking to even predicted it before I started taking the compressor apart. He told me to send them photo and my shipping address and they would send me the replacement.

Took the family up highway 2 in search of isolation and snow to play in. LA had a decent storm a few weeks ago, but this is probably the last of the snow for the season. Surprisingly, Mt. Baldy (elsewhere in the Angeles crest) reopened and is currently running lifts with designated "tee time" departures and social distancing rules in the parking lot and lift queues. They're actually the only ski lifts running on the entire continent! I might try to sneak up for some spring corn before it's gone.

What a fun day in the sun and snow!
 
First mods done.

Hey all. New to the community but not to personalizing my vehicles. Between last evening and today I added Diode Dynamics high and low beam bulbs, TRD intake, Pedal Commander to my 2 week old 2020 TRD Pro. Wow what a difference those items made! Now I can see, hear and feel a difference and much happier with this pig now. Looking forward to the knowledge here on this forum.

Skid plate

Left work early to work on my skid plate. Quarter inch aluminum. I still have to make the front brackets and recess the two bolts.

Did nothing with the 4runner. The few errands have been in the 68 F100. Summer will be here next month (108°f today) and I'll have A/C this year in the 4runner. The F100 doesn't have A/C.

Got to the point where we could remove the blue painters tape and schedule an appointment for alignment. In other words... we finished installing a King-shock lift kit.

We've had the parts for over six weeks. The plan was to wait for front and rear bumpers before putting in the lift, but since they are coming from Louisiana and Michigan, respectively, we finally decided to do things in a different order.

Wound up being about a 2.5" - 3" lift for the time being, until the extra weight gets added. I'll add details to the KDSS lift thread - adding to the lessons learned that helped us through the process.

Took off the wheels and checked the torque on the spidertrax spacers per the instructions after 50 miles. Happy to say all are still to spec. Reinstalled the wheels took a test drive and now enjoying a cold bev as a reward.
 
I didn't do anything, except drive to work this morning, and pick up an on-line grocery order on the way home. Still love my 4runner.

Yesterday I got new tires and installed a Rigd Supply ultraswing rear tire carrier with the fold down camp table. I was pretty close to building my own but I have to say it is a very solid and well built piece of gear. I had 78,000 miles on the BFG K02s that I took off. They looked like they easily had another 10-15000 in them, but had become pretty iffy on wet roads and loud on any road. They were very quiet when new. I replaced with 5 new BFG KM3. So far so good. Much quieter than the tires I removed and they look fantastic.
