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

[Antman]

I wonder if mine has rust? Maybe I'll get under there and check. Wait, maybe it doesn't. Yeah I'm going with that. It doesn't.

It definitely does. Lazy bastard.

Finally got the StormTrooper off road and broken in thanks to some great Southern hospitality and advice from [MENTION=105481]3wbdriver[/MENTION]. [MENTION=118645]AFdude[/MENTION] was kind enough to join along and take some photos. I think I'll let the dust set for a while. Thanks guys.

I really like the front black fenders, are you going to do the same to the rear? I wish they kept them black like the '10-'13 instead of matching body color paint like the Limited.

Did the body stay square? I know one of my friend's was a bit off when he did his but that was on a 4th gen. You could tell a bit from the rear.

I wish I could roll with a bunch of 4Runners and go wheeling... I wanna go Anza Borrego soon

Not as bad as I was expecting, I figured the gas tank etc would look far to low with a 2" body lift. You gotta fix the daylight showing though the back through!

Day before yesterday somewhere along I-44 in central Missouri, a rice burner a few cars up lost its fancy chromed muffler. I saw it and tried to dodge but there's only so much you can do at 75mph in moderate traffic. Thank god they protected the KDSS lines and reservoir with this armored plate! It sheared the head off of one bolt and added some character. I'll have the dealer screw with it since I already have a scheduled 25k service next week.
