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

Replaced monster plastic stock shitft knob with this TRD one:

Not today, but found some decent snow covered trails to have fun on over the weekend.
My spidertrax arrived on Saturday too. Hopefully I'll be able to get them installed this week.
 
I bought the Ultimate Cargo Liner and installed it in my 2015 Trail to protect it from my "always wet and dirt lab". I ordered the one for the Limited since I will be adding a custom sub enclosure.

It's 25 degrees out so I need to get a heat gun and warm up the panels a little to stretch but I'm happy with the way it turned out.
 
Rola Vortex - $130 through Walmart.
I spent a lot of time making sure the gap where the two pieces meet was sealed and the screw holes were sealed so that no water gets in there. If I have succeeded in preventing the early rusting out that others complain of, I can make this rack work for a while.

Most if the guys over n 4th gen weld that joint up to avoid that rust issue ! :popcorn:
 
Seriously thought about welding, but didn't want to melt back powder coating. My idea was to epoxy the pieces together and screw them, seal them with silicone, and then coat with a flex paint and blend.
Man, now that I say it out loud - I should have welded it!
 
I have a few weeks off before heading back to work. Left NJ and will spend the next two weeks in Utah and AZ. Time for some biking and trails.

My N-Fab nerf bars will be here tomorrow! Woohoo! Hubby will install them before the week is over. :)

The instructions are wrong from nfab, I think they are for a Taco.

The curved end goes toward the front and 5 of 6 bolts for each side. Only one bolt in the front.
 
Dropped it off at ARB today, and drove around in this:



Not a bad loaner vehicle.

Anywho, ARB was going to test fit their current 10-13 bumper on my 14 Trail to see if it would work, and long story short, it did not. Minor clearance issues. But that means a redesign for the mid 5th Gen 4Runner bumper. So hopefully in a couple months, it will be back down there for the finished product.

Jeep was loaded with the good stuff. F&R Air lockers, F&R ARB bumpers, Warn winch, sliders, beadlocks wrapped with 37" Falken Wild Peak MTs, Safari Snorkel, and even an ARB Fridge. I liked it.
