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

Nothing much, parked next to my Lexus

put a gopro mount on the windshield behind the rear view mirror.

[MENTION=56922]NoOneBetter[/MENTION], do you run the gopro continuously or just while out having fun. I've seen systems that continuously record, that can be viewed in case something happens. I've been wondering what that camera feeds into.
 
Completed mod 2 and 3. Installed a Rola roof rack to the top which i love the simple look and design. Also got new wheels and tires. Wheels are from an FJ Cruiser that I had powder coated wrinkle semi gloss black. They match the LineX bumpers pretty well. Tires are BFG KO2 size 275/70R17. Got a heck of a deal at the 4Wheel Parts Jeep and Truck fest a few weekends ago. Love the black wheels as it totally changes the look from my old silver ones.

Your black bumpers, trim, and wheels look awesome! Great idea! :yo:

Mine is just for when I'm out having fun. I have seen what you are talking about though. I have a gopro hero2. I'm not sure if the newer gopros have wireless capabilities for feeding to external storage. I know there are some dashcams that backup to external storage via wifi.
 
Thanking mother nature for a beautiful cloudy, raining day here in the desert. Installed my cargo sliding tray that I got off the GB that [MENTION=119516]jicko[/MENTION] was running. Great tray so far; fits my 65 qt Pelican no problem. Pic's of initial fitment then fully installed:

LOVED the black bumpers and the fenders!! Almost look like having aftermarket custom bumpers!!!

Looks so good!

You roof rails need to be "blackened"!!

Or replace with a Gobi rack! :-D
 
Atrac saved my bacon

Well, had a nice adventure this weekend, got to use the Rigid light bar Friday night while cruising out Rabbit Valley (Fruita) looking for a nice camp spot, good stuff. Met up with [MENTION=105481]3wbdriver[/MENTION] for some nice wheeling (see his thread) then camped in Moab last night.

This morning I decided to do an easy trail before leaving (biking was a wash) and made an error in judgement (i.e. I'm stupid). Things were pretty easy for awhile on the trail then I stopped to look around and said "I'll go a little further and see what's over there", here was the stupid part, seriously misjudged a muddy section, got myself sideways in the ditch in a flash. I feel pretty sure that the toyota engineers saved me from being stuck in the mud on a mountain today, atrac worked it's butt off and got me out but it wasn't pretty. The only positive is that it rained the entire drive home and washed most of the mud off, don't tell my wife.

Had a set of 275/70/17 BFG T/A KO2's installed. They make the truck look so much more badass! They make the handling much firmer and more solid feeling, I like it!

Unfortunately I'm still getting steering wheel vibration between 60-70. Not sure if this means its not balance related or what.

Also built this sub from the setup I had in my old truck. Still gotta wire it all up and figure out exactly where I wanna put it.

Took Saturday and went to Sand Dunes National Park, Hiked Zapata Falls, and tried to run Medano Pass. It was a bit early so we had to turn around at the gate, but still got 4 miles of some fun sand driving in. At least it wasn't snowing down there (yet).

Finished installing Bilstein 5100's. That last KDSS bolt.. son of a *&^%$! Got an alignment done.. now just getting everything cleaned up and ready for a wheeling trip on Sunday.
 
Added a few mods new front bump stops and All Pro sway bar end links then changed out the rear 4Runner letters to an old school Toyota emblem





 
Installed TRD Pro bumper valances. I decided to fully remove both the front and rear covers after struggling to remove the clips by reaching and contorting. It was easy but time consuming. Took about 2 hours.

I ended up instaling uder the hood lights. Used a strip of 3m stick Led lights that are waterpoof, wired intor a strut switch. So when you open the hood the strut exands opening the circuit tunring on the light. Worked out well put all the wires in sleeves everythign is hidden well. Want to work on having the strip mounted beter, have a feeling it will peel over time. It will only tell. Looks great and works great. Didnt like the mercury switch or pin switch solutions. The is by far the nicest factory looking solutions I have found.
